Yahoo playoff simulator not working? (1 Viewer)

This puts the Broncos as the 6 seed ahead of the Jets, giving Denver a loss in Philly and a win over the Chiefs, and the Jets two wins. I can't figure out why, since both teams would have the same record, the same conference record, did not play H2H, and the Jets have the better record in common games. If the Jets win out, the Jets beat Indy, went 1-1 against NE, beat Cincy and beat Oakland; Denver lost to Indy, beat NE, beat Cincy, and went 1-1 against Oakland. So shouldn't the Jets have the tiebreaker over Denver if the teams are tied?

I'm interested in figuring out if the Y! simulator just doesn't always work or if it's late at night and I can't seem to think straight?

When I pulled up your link you have KC beating Denver in week 17 which doesn't matchup with the scenario you described in your post.

Other than that the various changes I made in the Yahoo simulator all appeared to be in order by my estimation, but I'm definitely not the foremost authority on all the tiebreaker rules that come into place for determining playoff seeding.

When I pull up your link, the Jets are the #6 seed.

Leaning hard toward "the Y! simulator just doesn't always work" here, as I saw the same deal go down yesterday, on another scenario.
