I've advanced us to the postseason but there seems to be an issue with teams being seeded improperly. It is very important that none of you play any of your playoff games yet because it looks like Ryan Ferwerda at EA Tiburon is going to fix all of this for us. I'd encourage each of you to send him a thank you note via Twitter if you have an account there because they really didn't have to do this for us.
This is the text of the e-mail I sent and what our playoff seedings WILL look like once they fix it, which should be sometime tomorrow:

AFC:
#1 Oakland

#3 Baltimore
#4 Houston
#5 Cincinnati
#6 New England
First round playoff games should be:
New England @ Baltimore
Cincinnati @ Houston
NFC:
#1 San Francisco
#2 Atlanta
#3 Dallas
#4 Chicago
#5 Carolina
#6 Seattle
First round playoff games should be:
Seattle @ Dallas
Carolina @ Chicago
Once they fix everything to where it should be, I'll be posting a postseason thread. Also be on the lookout for postseason awards threads to start popping up as well. I'm going to open up the voting to anyone who wants to vote, rather than just the league members. Should make things a little more interesting.
That's all for now...start game planning, as the postseason is right around the corner!

Awesome, I thought I was getting shafted having to play Seattle since I had the head to head win over Dallas.

Yeah, that's one they have to fix. You really should thank Millennium. I would've been happy with them just getting Houston into the playoffs but then Mill pointed out he should be AFC North champion. That made me dig even deeper into the seedings to find all inaccuracies, which I believe I've corrected with that e-mail.

I didn't play any games since I joined late, so it doesnt matter, but I saw an interesting deal with the NFC Central.
Green Bay technically had a better winning percentage then the Bears. The two ties really screwed things up. The first rule to determine division champion is best record, but what truly determines best record?
Chicago was 9-7 a .5625 winning percentage
Green Bay was 8-6-2 a .5714 winning percentage
Is this an error or is the first criteria wins? They both split the regular season games, so that doesn't have a determination. The Bears had a better division record (1 more win), and conference record by a long shot.
I don't want to take the playoffs away from Altimus, since he was in the league longer, but I am curious as to the true measure of a playoff team.
Just curious, cause all the NFL rule book says is best record.
