Its nice that standards are objective, but I hope a division/conference title that means a spot in the CFP never comes down to something like the AFC used to break their 4 way wild care tie.

"...The Chargers' head-to-head win over the Bills didn't come into to play because it wasn't a two-team tie. For groups of tied teams from different divisions, record in conference games is the first tiebreaker used. The Titans had the best record against AFC teams (8-4), so they earned the fifth seed.

In the tiebreaker for the sixth seed, the Bills and Ravens went 7-5 against conference foes while the Chargers went 6-6, so the Chargers were eliminated.

That sent the Bills and Ravens to two-team tiebreakers. They didn't play head-to-head and tied on conference record, so the next tiebreaker was record against common opponents, which requires a minimum of four games needed to apply the tiebreaker. Their common opponents were the Dolphins, Bengals, Colts and Raiders, with each team playing its division opponent twice. The Bills' Week 17 win over the Dolphins combined with the Ravens' late collapse against the Bengals moved them both to 4-1 in games against those teams.

So the Bills and Ravens had to go to the fourth tiebreaker, which is strength of victory, or the winning percentage of teams you've beaten. The teams the Bills beat posted a winning percentage of .396 while the teams the Ravens beat finished .299. That difference sent the Bills to the playoffs....
