Just to recap – I am playing a tournament with the current NFL card set.  Each team was seeded in it’s division by their regular season record from #1 to #16.  The first round was #16 @ #1, #15 @ #2, etc.  Winners advance into the “Winner’s Bracket” while the losers move to the “Loser’s Bracket.”

In the Loser’s bracket, a second loss eliminates them.  In the Winner’s bracket, another win moves them automatically into the “Sweet 16” single elimination portion of the tournament.  Once Round Two is complete, there will be four teams from the Winner’s bracket who are 1-1, and four teams from the Loser’s bracket who are 1-1.  They will play in Round Three (again, based on their initial seeds) with the winners moving on and the losers eliminated.

Here are the matchups for round 2 of my tournament:
