The biggest confusing part is how ties are broken between teams with the same record. It has something to with your record against those teams and if that doesn't work, I think it goes to record against the #1 team in the league and then down until one has a better record.

The other day when there was like five teams at 8-5, the tie would be broken by your record against the other four teams in the tie, regardless of how many times you played them. So you could have one team from the East, let's say, who goes 3-1 against four West teams while one of the West teams could be 5-2 against all the others. But the East team gets the higher seed by having a higher winning percentage against those teams. It doesn't matter how many games you have played.

Or if two teams are still tied by winning percentage, then it goes to your record against the # 1 team. So if Miami would be the #1 seed, you start with your records against Miami. So if we can beat Miami, it would help us out in this part of the tie-breaker, as I am guessing Kent, Akron, Buffalo and Ohio all have lost to the Redskins, thus giving us this tie-breaker.
