i remember a situation similar to this a few years back and i think they are right on it, because say cle won the three way tie breaker vs us but we beat them head to head that would be total BS
So first they eliminate the head to head games then go to the first tiebreaker between the remaining.
Making up a scenario to prove my point (not factual or referring to this year)
Say 3 teams are 10-6 SD JAX AND MIA all of them are fighting for final WC spot
Say SD beats JAX during the year
If they ended up going to common opps JAX has the better record between SD and MIA so MIA has no chance either way
why would jax end up beating out SD for the final WC when SD beat JAX during the season that would be an outrage if that ever happened
So they first do head to head to eliminate the teams that have lost to each other then go on to the next tie breaker....im not an expert but any other way would not make sense at all
