So have my custom playoffs setup to re-seed, not fixed matchups after the first round and I assume that means that the best remaining team will face-off against the worst remaining team and so on. If you look at the two pictures below that doesn't seem to be the case.
I've tried both first round matchups determined by Seeding (by win %) as well as Position but that's only for the 1st round (wildcard series)

So it should be according to re-seeding,

(1st) HAL vs (10th) NEW
(2nd) POR vs (9th) BRI
(3rd) HAR vs (6th) MON
(4th) NJ vs 5th (5th) LAB

Seems like this happens when two teams have the same record the AI chooses the wrong one to match with the bye team.
I bet if no teams finished with the same record this would not happen.
Am I missing something?
