Was there any discrepancy you saw in your franchise that didn't follow the NFL Tiebreaker procedure?

I have an instance. In my league, the Cardinals are 13-2 and the Seahawks are 13-1-1. The Seahawks are undefeated in the division and won both head-to-head matchups against the Cardinals.
Assuming both win in week 17, the Seahawks will have a better record and the first two tiebreakers. If the Cardinals lose and the Seahawks win, the Cardinals will be 13-3 and the Seahawks will be 14-1-1, clearly the division champion.
However, the standings show that the Cardinals clinched the division and home field advantage in the playoffs.

@davidallen1872 That doesn't seem right from what I'm looking at. It looks like the Seahawks should have won. Will get this tracked down, thanks for reporting it!- 5 years ago
Thank you.
In previous years, the tie breaker for franchise was alphabetical order, but that doesn't appear to be the case here.

Is there a strength of schedule calculator in the franchise mode?

@BaseballPlayerNR In this situation I don't believe it has it do with strength of schedule but more in the lines of the Seahawks having half a win more than the Cardinals and also going undefeated in the division.
I'm not sure if there's a strength of schedule built into tiebreakers for Madden. My inclination is no, but I can try to find out.- 5 years ago
The reason I ask about strength of schedule is I just ran into a situation in a cloud franchise league where me and another guy were both in the same division. We were both 11-5, both had the same divisional record and conference record, but he made it to the playoffs and I didn't so I am trying to figure out how I didn't make it.
