Playoff 'Brackets'/Seedings (1 Viewer)

[simsarge]

Trying to figure out how the playoffs would concievably go to pick a Fantasy team. I know there are a lot of variables (if Pitt wins they play someone different if SD wins than if Ten wins, etc) so if someone has a link that would be fine.

TIA

You don't need a link. In the AFC, the lowest possible remaining seed will play the Patriots and the highest possible remaining seed will play the Colts. In the NFC, the lowest possible remaining seed will play the Cowboys and the highest possible remaining seed will play the Packers. Thus, SD cannot possibly play the Pats in round 2 and Tenn cannot possibly play the Colts in round 2. Washington cannot possibly play the Packers in round 2 and Seattle cannot possibly play the Cowboys in round 2.

I'm seeing a whole lotta fluff, but nothing to answer my question with. You being the Guru of all things NFL, likely know exactly where on that mass of bandwidth clogging conglomeration is the info I need. Care to enlighten me?

3 plays 6

worst seed will play #1 seed in next round.

Winners of those games play each other for the right to go to the superbowl

Being the teams get reseeded, a traditional "bracket" would not be accurate.

Everything was spot-on up until the bolded part. Nobody gets reseeded.

simsarge, can you help me understand how this is fluff? It seems very straightforward to me. I cannot see how it is not simple enough for you. I mean no offense, just curious. Please enlighten me.
