Standings Glitch (Detroit/Georgia)

I am currently updating the playoff post when I came across a couple of possible glitches. MFN says Detroit and Georgia are eliminated but I'm not so sure.

Detroit If Detroit wins their last 2, Chicago loses their last 2 and Michigan splits by beating Chicago and losing to Orlando, all 3 teams would tie for the Midwest at 9-7. If MFN uses NFL tiebreakers, the first step in a divisional 3 way tie is head to head among the tied clubs. Detroit is 3-1 while Chicago and Michigan would be 2-2 in the 3 way tie scenario.

Georgia The Force can't win the South as a tie would go to Shreveport based on division record since they split. Georgia can tie Florida for a wildcard spot, and the Force beat the Blazers so I don't think Florida has a spot clinched just yet.

The standings glitch is annoying ....if it says you clinched or got eliminated you may play backups as a result which could lead you to blow it.

Unless you obviously clinched or get eliminated....back switch up your depth chart.

Some of the glitch scenarios are pretty obvious too!

There really is no excuse for this to still be happening.

I just sent PMs to Detroit, Georgia, and Florida linking here so hopefully they keep fielding their best lineup.

Often tied games effect this glitch, in particular if a team has 2 tied games.

Not applicable in our case as we have had zero ties all season

If it's a multiple tied situation ie three or more teams with the same record then H2H is a moot point and therefore becomes irrelevant.

According to NFL tiebreakers, a 3 way division tie is first broken by the round robin head to head.

For that to happen they all have to have played each other


Edit: Plus the above post is what happens in a multi tiebreak AFTER clubs have been knocked out of it and it's down to two teams. So the H2H only becomes relevant when it's between two teams.
