So I was on the playoff simulator, just messing around with the games and I noticed something a little odd that I don't have time to delve into.
But, if Tampa Bay beats Carolina next week, and we beat the Ravens and the Broncos beat the Chargers, for some reason, the simulator puts the Bengals as the 2nd seed.
Also, if the Panthers do end up winning that game, but the Texans win against the Jaguars, the Titans beat the Colts and the Rams beat the 49ers, the Bengals also get the 2nd seed.
Is the program glitching out, or are there some weird, bizarre, nonsensical head to heads that I don't understand?
Because, I thought head to head was the #1 tiebreaker in playoff seeding, but the program indicates something else could affect the seeding, even if both teams end 12-4.
The more I think about it, the more likely I think it has to be a glitch, but it's kind of interesting.
