Tiebreakers on the other hand, can be a bit tricky. To get there the easy way, one team must separate from the rest of the pack in their respective division whether that’s with an unblemished 8-0 conference record or one loss, as long as they’re the only team in the seven-team division with that record. One East representative and one West representative will meet at the Georgia Dome on Dec. We’ve tried to simplify possible answers to these questions for you, breaking down each division’s tiebreaker scenario before you make any early reservations in Atlanta this season. 12.What happens if two elites in the SEC West finish 6-2 this season? On the other side, could Mizzou, Georgia and Florida all be headed toward a divisional logjam? Barring a catastrophe, San Francisco would win this tiebreaker, although the chances of it getting here are essentially none. Seattle has scored 40 and allowed 34 – a net of 6. The 49ers have scored 41 touchdowns and allowed 20. Their point differential going into Week 14 is 166.
This is another one San Francisco has sewn up. Their net points in common games between the two clubs is 131. They’re outscoring common opponents by a substantial amount more than the Seahawks are. Unless something unprecedented happens, the 49ers have this one locked up. They’re second in points scored and points allowed. San Francisco holds an even greater advantage here. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed This is one the 49ers may wish was higher up in the tiebreak hierarchy. San Francisco also leads in points allowed, whereas the Seahawks are No. They lead the NFC in points scored while Seattle checks in at the No. The 49ers are in a great spot for this tiebreaker. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed If the teams have losses to the same three clubs, and their strength of victory is the same, they’d also have the same strength of schedule. It’s not out of the question, but it’s a scenario San Francisco probably wants to avoid. The only way the 49ers win this one is if Washington and the Packers combine for a better record than the Vikings and Eagles. Strength of schedule (combined record of teams played) Realistically, this is as far as the teams get in the tiebreak procedures since finishing with identical strength of victory is fairly unlikely. Barring a dramatic turnaround from Washington or a drastic collapse from the Vikings, the advantage would tick toward Seattle, but this won’t be determined until the final week of the season. The 49ers played the Packers and Washington. The Seahawks played the Vikings and Eagles. This one is going to be very tough to overcome since it’ll come largely down to the combined winning percentages of the teams’ uncommon opponents, especially if the 49ers and Seattle lose to the same teams. Their strength of victory going into Week 14 is just. This is where the 49ers’ easy front half of their schedule hurts them. Strength of victory (combined record of teams beaten) If these clubs finish with the same record, they’ll be tied in this fourth tiebreak step as well. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.īoth teams are 7-1 with all their games left against NFC opponents. There’s a very strong possibility Seattle and San Francisco wind up with an identical record in common games. Common games will get a shakeup in Week 14 when the 49ers face the Saints. Seattle’s two losses came at the hands of the Ravens and Saints. San Francisco holds the edge 8-1 to 7-2 in this one. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games Any one of those the Seahawks lose is huge for San Francisco’s chances to win the NFC West. Seattle has a game each against the Rams, Cardinals and 49ers. San Francisco has division bouts with the Rams and Seahawks left. The 49ers are 3-1 with their only loss coming at the hands of Seattle. The Seahawks have the edge in division record thanks to a 3-0 start.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division) No matter how the final four weeks shake out, the 49ers are likely going to need to win at Seattle in Week 17 to secure a division title.
The Seahawks leads this one 1-0 thanks to their Week 10 win in Santa Clara. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs) Here are the tiebreaker steps provided by the NFL, with some notes on where each one stands going into Week 14, including the ones we’ll likely never reach: 1. Since the difference between winning and not winning the NFC West this year could be the difference between home-field advantage and a first-round bye, these tiebreakers will be extremely vital for San Francisco. The 49ers and Seahawks could be barreling toward an end-of-season tie that’ll require the league to go deep into the tiebreaker rules to determine the division winner.
