That is only true in a head-to-head (or where one team in a 3- or 4- way tie has beaten all the others). Tampa beat the Skins, but lost to Carolina, and we didn't play either Minnesota or Carolina. That means you ignore the head-to-head and go to the next tie-breaker.
I can't believe I'm getting involved in this conversation...
