One workaround is to use custom playoffs. Before the playoffs start you can set up the playoff matchups by picking the teams by their placement. So, for example you can have the first place team in the East division play the 2nd place team from the Central division or whatever it was supposed to be based on your league rules.

This is the only sure way to make sure it's set up correctly in the case of tiebreakers that aren't settled by playing a game (for example head-to-head record) or other odd situations like the one you're describing where both teams will make the playoffs but have a head-to-head game to decide the exact placement.
