Playoff seeding glitch

[MrNFL_FanIQ]

It was my understanding that in the NFL's playoffs, the #1 seed faces the lowest remaining seed in the divisional round, REGARDLESS OF RECORD.

It seems that is not the case on Head Coach. I am the #1 seed. The #5 Patriots (12-4) advanced and the #3 Raiders (11-5) advanced. Based on this, I should be facing the Patriots, they are the lower seed.

But the game is putting me up against the Raiders. Umm....what?

Is my understanding of the rule wrong?

yea ive noticed that too

another thing the game does wrong, is the draft order for playoff teams. it seeds the playoff teams based on where they went in the playoffs, which makes MUCH more sense than the real method of records(besides the super bowl teams of course)

Ironically, they JUST changed that rule for the Draft seeding this offseason. Weird.

I guess the "Owners" 6 years down the road have "changed" the rule.
