lol this isnt NCAA

A little bit of digging has led me to this conclusion:

DIVISIONAL TIEBREAKERS

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
NWK/ORL have not faced each other so on to the next tie-breaker

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Both teams are 1-0 in the Division so on to the next tie-breaker

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games (games played against the same opponents).
No common opponents so far so on to the next tie-breaker

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Both teams are 100% in Conference play so on to the next tie-breaker

5. Strength of victory (the combined won-lost-tied percentage of all the teams that a club has defeated).
NWK opponents have a combines W/L record of 14-5 (.737). ORL opponents are 11-14 (.440).
So NWK is ahead of ORL on the basis of the 5th tie-breaker despite the fact that have one less win than ORL.

6. Strength of schedule (the combined won-lost-tied percentage of all the teams that a club has played against).
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin Toss.

HA! power rankings after all!!! or atleast how I look at how good a team is.

[DakotaGeorge]

would make sense if the teams were actually tied. but they arent so tie breaking procedure doesn't come into effect?

[Hooper]

Maybe the game is looking at win % and not # of wins? I dunno.

That's how I read it too. So both teams are tied at 1.00 hence the tie-breaker procedure the first six of which all look at percentages as well.

Tie breakers may be the key. I'm not buying the power ratings. As an example, Lansing and Madison are tied at 2-2 with Lansing listed above Madison. However, Madison is higher in the power ranking.

smh

Yeah well both teams are 2-2 so of course they are TIED so tiebreakers come into effect.
Lansing is 1-0 in the division Madison is 0-1.

Its just odd how the game considers a 5-0 team and a 4-0 team as tied.
