I just finished a season where I was left out of the playoffs. I don't think I should have been.

Team won lost conference division head2head
Rams 8 - 8 5 - 7 3 - 3 1 - 1
Cardinals(me) 8 - 8 6 - 6 3 - 3 1 - 1

Our head to head point differential was +2 for me. yet the rams were deemed the division winner. How??? Thoughts????:popcorn:

Common games comes before conference record.

Yup, you're not applying the correct tie-breakers in your thinking here.
The Rams probably won more games against teams in the other conference, while the games against uncommon opponents gave the Cardinals 1 or 2 wins more than the Rams.
