#QFL Playoff Picture

Seeding Scenarios:

1: QU with a win or a QJ loss. QJ can be #1 with a win, QU loss, and outscores QU by 19 pts (no head-to-head).

2: QU or QJ

3: OQ with a win or ATCQ loss. ATCQ can be #3 with a win and OQ loss (split H-to-H, has division record).

4: SOQ with a win or a OQ win or a ATCQ loss. OQ with a loss, ATCQ win and SOQ loss (has H-to-H over SOQ).

5: ATCQ with a loss, or a win and OQ win. OQ with a loss, ATCQ win and SOQ win.

6: TenQ with a win. FredneQ with a win and TenQ loss (TenQ has H-to-H over Fredneq).

Scenario if ATCQ loses, TenQ wins, Fredneq wins and all 3 finish 7-6 for 5th and 6th seeds:

No division ties, and TenQ-ATCQ did not play H-to-H. Per NFL wild card tie breaking rules (which QFL const references), head to head is thrown out if the three teams did not each play each other. That would make the 1st tie breaker here total points, which ATCQ would have. Then the remaining TenQ-Fredneq tie would revert back to head-to-head, which TenQ wins.
