Why am I the 5th seed?

So right now Daisycutter and I are sitting at 10-2 in our division. I've won both of our head-to-head matchups, yet I'm in second place in the division. That makes me the top wild card at 5 but seems like I should be winning the division. That would put Pigskin Playas and me tied at 10-2 for best record and I should own that tie breaker as well since I won our head-to-head match up.

Thanks.

Division leaders just like the NFL. Just like the Bears lost to the Pack twice in a season and still won the division. With the second best record and tie-breakers (e.g. scoring), you're still the wild card.

I would have thought head to head would have been the first tie breaker, but it is what it is.

I think "quality of losses" should be the next criteria.
