Once again, it's time for my exercise in ridiculous futility. Based on the NFL tiebreakers, this is what the playoffs would look like if they were seeded today.
NFC
Home-field Advantage -- #1 Detroit Lions (up from 6th)
(last week: Vikings)
Bye Week -- #2 San Francisco 49ers (up from OUT)
(last week: Panthers)
#3 Washington Redskins (up from 4th) hosting #6 Dallas Cowboys (up from OUT)
(last week Seahawks hosting Lions)
#4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (up from OUT) hosting #5 Green Bay Packers (SAME)
(last week: Redskins hosting Panthers)
AFC
Home-field Advantage -- #1 Pittsburgh Steelers (up from 2nd)
(last week: Colts)
Bye Week -- #2 New England Patriots (up from 3rd)
(last week: Steelers)
#3 Indianapolis Colts (down from 1st) hosting #6 Tennessee Titans (up from OUT)
(last week: Patriots hosting Bengals)
#4 Denver Broncos (up from OUT) hosting #5 Houston Texans (SAME)
(last week: Chargers hosting Texans)
Things to note:
1) All AFC South teams got in except the Jacksonville Jaguars
2) Tampa Bay is the only team that wins their division without a 2-0 record
3) Baltimore is out based on my interpretation of how to apply the tiebreakers when division teams have an uneven number of division games; however, I did not apply this tiebreaker in other divisions if a team did not have any division games.
4) I've probably screwed this up somewhere, but it's just for fun anyway.

Anytime you seed Steelers as the #1 in the AFC at this point it is the farthest from ridiculous futulity as you can possibly get. Good job. I like it.

Gets a thumbs up from me. Titans vs. Indy.... TITANS WIN. If anybody's going to upset the Colts, it will be Tennessee. I would sell my left arm to stop the Colts from repeating.
