ONE MOVE SoV element that I have not seen being talking about...Followthelegion":hn8dl99p said:Kearly's point is an important distinction.
The SoV only comes into play when the common opponents record is tied.
But one addendum that others also pointed out, SoV is not only dependent on Pittsburgh v Cinci, it also depends on the records of Dallas and New Orleans. I actually don't think its utterly implausible that Seattle can get the jump regarding SoV, as I think Pittsburgh will narrow the gap on Cinci and its not inconceivable that Dallas can eek out a couple of wins to finish the year (@home vs Washington in particular).
Not likely, but better chance than winning the lottery!
Still, pulling for the Vikings tonight!
IF (however unlikely) the Cardinals manage to lose tonight to the Vikings, and then lose to Philly, BUT beat the Packers... THEN the Vikings and Packers records ALSO play into the SoV discussion. In that case, Vikings beating out the Packers for the North helps us.
SO...all is not lost when the inevitable happens tonight...unless you think the Vikings are going to take the North or the Cards will lose out! :thirishdrinkers:
