Since it is possible for an NFL game to end in a Tie, how does this affect the strength of victory calculation for a team which has tied another team during the course of the season?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: Strength of Victory is computed by combining the records of all of the opponents that a club has DEFEATED. If a club tied an opponent, then the record of that opponent is not used when combining records. Also, if a club has defeated an opponent twice then that opponents record is combined twice.
If Seattle, Dallas, and Green Bay all end up at 12-4, then the simulator has Seattle as the one seed. This does not make sense. Dallas beat Seattle head to head so should be in front of Dallas. Seattle beat Green Bay head to head, so should be the two seed. Dallas and Green Bay did not play, but because two of the three teams did play head to head, the tie-breaking order of priority is very clear that head to head is the determining factor. Green Bay should then be the three seed behind Seattle. No?
ReplyDeleteI hope this comes back. A great NFL playoff toggling machine.
