  1. for playoff clubs:
  2.     1.    The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl 
  3.             loser next-to-last.
  4.     2.     Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall 
  5.             be assigned priority within its segment below that of     
  6.             non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff     
  7.             clubs exited from the playoffs.    
  8.             Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that 
  9.             loses in the Wild Card game will have priority        
  10.             over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional        
  11.             playoff game, which in turn will have priority over    
  12.             a club that loses in the Conference        
  13.             Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the    
  14.             playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by        
  15.             strength-of-schedule.
  16.  
  17. If any ties cannot be broken by strength-of-schedule, the 
  18. divisional or conference tie-breakers, whichever are applicable, are 
  19. applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.
