Ties in the standings

There's 100 ways to do it that are better, and more merit based, than the NFL's current format. The NFL is trying to be "fair". Fairness and sports don't mix. When you try to mix them, you end up with ties.

 

college overtime one possession per team, if not tie.

 

Sudden death, no clock, no passing plays permitted.

Each team nominates one douchebag fan to call the overtime plays from their smart phone. Only wrinkle is there’s no play call sheet, and it’s not multiple-choice. This will give the fans an experience of a lifetime, while also showcasing their abundant level of situational incompetence. Everybody wins, but nobody ties.
