Giants Win! Cowboys Improve Draft Spot!

[theogt]

I'm confused. I think we should be #29 bases on opp. winning %, but every site has us at #28. Everyone is stealing from someone who is wrong or we're wrong.

I posted the 'time of elimination' thing as perhaps credence to this train of thinking.

The "time of elimination" thing has some support here.

check this out, this explains what I was being told

Per that, rule #5 is the reason.

That is a change from previous years. I think it actually makes sense too.

I hope the editor of GBN answers my e-mail. I will post it if he does.

Fine, they're right, we're wrong, we'll take #28.

He is usually really good at responding to emails. usually take a day or two though.

He's a Giants fan, probably in a drunken stupor right now and not because they won last night, just a trend.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING

If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs:

1. The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last.

2. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game, which in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule.

If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.

According to that, we're picking #28.

I was just getting ready to paste that as you posted it

 

[Avery]

So I was partially correct. Joe Buck just phoned me and told me that 'your legend grows.'

If that's the case, I think we should pick before San Diego does because we lost in the divisonal round and San Diego lost in the conference round.

Those are just tiebreakers. We weren't tied with San Diego.

Ok, so it based off of the win-loss record?

The tier before 13-3 was 11-5 so it could only be between us, GB and Indy.

Right. Dallas, Indy, and GB were the only teams tied at 13-3. GB advanced further than both Dallas and Indy, so they get 30. Between Indy and Dallas, Indy had the tougher SOS, so they get 29. And we get 28.

So after 95 posts, we've determined that the original poster was right all along. Well done!!

Well he did have 20 independent draft sites backing him up and even NFL freakin dot com confirming it... and we still weren't buying it. To be honest, I'm still not 100% convinced... :laugh2:

Its not right. Playoff results don't matter except for those two teams which reach the superbowl, and those with tied records?
