2021 AFC Kayfabe Week 13 Rankings

(Separating out the Politicals, because tonight's result will result in a re-rank in both conferences.)

East:  New England 9-4 -- 1 1/2 and the current HTH tiebreak over Buffalo at 7-5.

North:  Baltimore 8-4 -- 1 over Cincinnati at 7-5.

South:  Tennessee 8-4 -- 1 1/2 and a HTH season sweep over Indianapolis at 7-6.

West:  Kansas City 8-4 and 5 in a row -- 1 over the Chargers at 7-5.

Tiebreakers:

Baltimore, Tennessee, and Kansas City for the 2, 3, and 4:

Kansas City is eliminated from the tiebreaker to the #4 seed because of a part of the HTH tiebreaker, even though Baltimore and Tennessee will not play, since both have beaten Kansas City.

Conference record of the other 2:  Baltimore 5-4, Tennessee 5-3

TEN 2, BAL 3, KC 4

Now break the 5, 6, and 7 between Buffalo, Cincinnati, and the LA Chargers.  All three are in, just a question of where:

No HTH on that at all.

Conference:  Buffalo 5-5, Cincinnati 5-3, Chargers 5-3.

Buffalo is the 7, so the process reverts, and the Chargers just beat Cincinnati this week.

LAC 5, CIN 6, BUF 7

1. NE 9-4
2. TEN 8-4 (Conference record over BAL, HTH sweep with BAL over KC)
3. BAL 8-4 (Loses Conference record tiebreak TEN, HTH over KC)
4. KC 8-4 (HTH swept by TEN and BAL)
5. LAC 7-5 (Conference record over BUF, HTH over CIN)
6. CIN 7-5 (Conference record over BUF, loses HTH tiebreak with LAC)
7. BUF 7-5 (Loses Conference record tiebreak with LAC and CIN)

And you have IND at 7-6, PIT at 6-5-1, LV, CLE, and DEN at 6-6, and MIA at 6-7.  That's 12 teams within one game and a 13th a game and a half out.
