[QUOTE="GreenGoldAngel, post: 328375, member: 3216"] The complex formulas were built using the NFL' own traditional tie breaking system, How can you compare Atlanta & Green Bay when they only played the same opponents twice out of 16 games. Their schedules are as comparable to Big Ten Schedule as to a Pac-Ten schedule. The Packers schedule called on them to play the NFC East And the AFC East, Falcons played AFC North and the NFC WEST. Why did the Packers Have to Play the Jets and falcons on road and the Bears get both at home? Yes the Falcons had a 13-3 record vs the Packers 10-6 record. But if they are playing completely different schedules, how does comparing W-L records make any sense? The NFL put some thought into tie breaking rules, which I wish they could some how use in seeding. I have not heard any complaints about tie-breaking rules. So just for fun, let's lookk at Green Bay- Atlanta vs the NFC and the NFL. 1) Head to head....Props to Atlanta 2) Common foes...GB 2-0, Atlanta 1-1 3) W/L % in NFC..Props to Atlanta (which is why I hate that they don't play a common schedule) 4) Strength of schedule... No contest..Green Bay 5) Best net points in conference......Green Bay 6) Best net points in all games.....Green Bay 7) Best net TDs in all games......Green Bay 8) winner of coin flip...lol...hope it never gets to that. Thanks for listening. The rules aren't going to change, was just something for me to ponder on. [/QUOTE]
