The strange thing is that it doesn't seem to be following the order of first round match-ups either.

I have my first round listed as:
#1 (Bye)
#7 v #2
#6 v #3
#5 v #4;
seeded by winning % with wild cards lowest and re-order by seed prior to each round.

On a fixed bracket I would have assumed that this example would give 1v2 and 3v5 in the second round, whereas re-ordered by seed I would expect 1v5 and 2v3. OOTP is giving me the only scenario I can't explain.

There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to get the matchups I was expecting so I think I will just have to carry on with the play-offs and imagine that my league has brought in a rule whereby teams from the same division are kept apart.
