Trying to cite the playoff schedule before the last weekend of games even begin

See also the discussions on the two previous articles: Talk:2020–21 NFL playoffs#Trying to cite the playoff schedule before the last weekend of games even begin and Talk:2021–22 NFL playoffs#Trying to cite the playoff schedule before the last weekend of games even begin. Until the league officially announces them, network assignments should not be listed, and any source that does not reference back to a league source should be considered unreliable.

Compare the December 31, 2020 version of 2020–21 NFL playoffs to what was the actual 2020-21 schedule.
Compare the December 31, 2021 version of 2021–22 NFL playoffs to what was the actual 2021-22 schedule.

Better yet, how about not listing any potential schedule until the league announces it, like we do with the NBA and NHL playoffs articles? Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:48, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this but also if anything the network (like ESPN or any other tv network) if it cites back to them it should be included Hoopstercat (talk) 23:17, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

' how about not listing any potential schedule until the league announces it,' - that's FAR too sensible. :D 148.64.29.90 (talk) 09:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now honestly, could you find a reliable source, published prior to the completion of the week 18 games, that correctly predicted the conferences and network assignments of all six wild card time slots? No you probably can't, because it could have been radically different had, for example, GB advanced to the #7 NFC seed instead of SEA, because the league might have been more hesitant to schedule a GB-SF game in the Sat 4:30 time slot while keeping LAC-JAX in the Sat 8:15 primetime slot. SEA does not generally attract the same amount of viewers as GB. That is why I have been complaining about this issue for the past couple years. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:42, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About the “AFC standings entering week 18” graphic

I have seen several people attempt to update the graphic as new results come in and treat the graphic as a live AFC standings board rather than its original intended purpose of providing additional context as to why the league made one-off changes to the playoff structure following the cancellation of BUF-CIN. How should we go about this? FasterThanSonicJTG (talk) 17:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When I originally added that table before the Saturday games, I thought that was going to be easier. But I should listened to my gut instinct and only added it to the body text, knowing that some editors would misread the table's original intention and attempt to update it after Saturday's results.

There is no re-seeding

We've used this term for I-don't-know-how-long--not just on Wikipedia but everywhere--and I don't expect anyone to change, but just wondering does it bother anyone else that we say the teams are "re-seeded" after the first round? Yes, the bracket is adjusted to give the #1 seed (in theory) the easiest matchup, but the teams' seeds aren't changed. Like I said, I don't think anythings going to change in how we do it, just wondering. LarryJeff (talk) 16:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
