Tie breaking for the draft is pretty complicated and the average person won't be able to figure it out unless the teams played each other.

1. St. Louis 1-15
2. Detroit 2-14
3. Tampa Bay 3-13
3. Kansas City 3-13
5. Washington 4-12
6. Cleveland 5-11
6. Seattle 5-11 (6-8th pick)
6. Oakland 5-11
9. Buffalo 6-10
10. Jacksonville 7-9
10. Miami 7-9
10. Chicago 7-9
13. Tennessee 8-8
13. NY Giants 8-8
13. Carolina 8-8
13. San Francisco 8-8
13. Denver 8-8 (13-17th)
18. Baltimore 8-7
18. NY Jets 8-7 (Sunday Night Football)
18. Houston 9-7
18. Pittsburgh 9-7
18. Atlanta 9-7

If the Jets lose than the Broncos will have the 13th-18th, if they win, it will stay the same.

sos is the first tie breaker

[Seahawk Freak]

Baltimore won so its 13th to 17th for Denver!

[SeahawkWag]

I had Balt as winning

[bobflipaburger]

Cleveland went 5-11

Nevermind. I didn't see these were all records entering this week.

Seattles SOS was so bad there is no way another team could get below them. The Denv pick has so many teams within that small number that is could change them a spot maybe.

Denver's SOS should go down seeing as how they played KC

yes and NY and Carolina should go up but SF will go down a lot too playing the lambs......

The draft tiebreakers are as follows:

1) Super Bowl Winner picks 32nd

2) Super Bowl Loser picks 31st

3) Teams are ranked in inverse order of their record. Ties count as a half win and half loss.

4) A playoff team always picks after a non-playoff team with the same regular season record. If two playoff teams have the same regular season record, but one was eliminated in an earlier round, that team picks first.

5) Ties are then broken using strength of schedule (average of all 16 opponent's winning percentage, divisionmates count twice since they were played twice. Or count the wins of all opponents, same result). Weaker schedule picks earlier.

6) If SOS fails to break the tie, and the teams are in the same division, apply the division playoff tiebreakers (except the "loser" picks higher).

7) If SOS fails to break the tie, the teams are not in the same division, but the teams are in the same conference, apply the conference playoff tiebreakers (except the "loser" picks higher).

8) If the teams are still tied, or are in different conferences, a coin toss decides the order. If three teams are tied such that the tie can be broken as to two teams, but not between any of those two and a third team, the "loser" of the two-team tie flips against the other team first. A scenario where all three teams are stone tied is nearly impossible since there are only two conferences and intraconference tiebreakers go very deep before a coin flip.

everyone root for the Jets to win
Cincy will probably rest their starters and jets need to win to get in (and their sos is lower than denvers)

[SeahawkWag]

here is the Denver group and it should be close to this
and I don't think Denver sos will get lower than the jags
sos is thru 15 games

11) Miami (7-9, .554)

12) San Francisco (8-8, .483)sos will lower
13) Jacksonville (8-8, .492) sos lower
14) Denver (8-8, .529) sos lower
15) NY Giants (8-8, .542) sos higher
16) Tennessee (8-8, .546) sos lower
17) Carolina (8-8, .550) sos higher

18) New York Jets (8-7, .525)
19) Pittsburgh (9-7, .479)
20) Atlanta (9-7, .508)
21) Houston (9-7, .517)
19) Baltimore (9-7, .521)

OK so here's my calculations on how we stand right now, obviously this is still pending the outcome of the Jets-Bengals game.

13. San Francisco 8-8 .457
14. Denver 8-8 .511
15. Carolina 8-8 .530
16. Tennessee 8-8 .538
17. NY Giants 8-8 .555

2 top 15 picks if my math is correct.

[SeahawkWag]

so a 6 and a 14 it is

[Fenom]

Yep, after calculating it all, it looks like we have the 6th and 14th picks. With the 3 team tie, we should drop to the 8th in the 2nd, 7th in the 3rd (Eagles pick), 6th in the 4th, 8th in the 5th, 7th in the 6th and 6th in the 7th.
