With two games left and we both lose out who gets the top draft spot ? Sorry for the post but I’ve been searching for this answer all day ! Thank you all for the replies and happy hurney firing day

Right now we have the worse strength of schedule. If that holds we pick before Atlanta. I think.

Also this says we pick before ATL if you plug in two losses for each.

Root for Dallas and Seattle to win and Arizona and Washington (except this week against us)to lose. Those are the 2 uncommon opponents between us. 

Right now we have a 1 game worse record between those 2 teams giving us a slight edge.

I haven't fact checked you but if true, considering we need Washington to beat us,  that would make the tally even and then we have to hope Washington and Arizona lose more games combined than Dallas and Seattle. Given Dallas is on one side of that equation, I don't have a lot of confidence. Curious, if we have the same SOS, then what? A coin flip I think. 

Our best chance might be Atlanta stealing one in the finale against Tampa. Either way though, I don't know if I'm going to lose too much sleep about picking 4 vs 5

The Falcons and Panthers played the same teams except Carolina played (or will play) Washington and Arizona and Atlanta played Dallas and Seattle. The tiebreaker is based on strength of schedule, which changes from week-to-week depending upon whether a team your played won or lost.

Since the 4 teams (2 for each) above are the only differentiating teams, you need to become a fan of Dallas and Seattle (the more they win, the the greater the strength of schedule for Atlanta) and hope Washington (except next week) and Arizona lose (the more they lose, the weaker the strength of schedule for the Panthers).

Obviously if Atlanta were to win a game and the Panthers lose both then none of this matters as it relates to the Falcons but still apply to other 4 win teams.

Seattle has two tough games ahead, at home to the Rams and away to the 49ers.  I think they'll be favored in both, but not guaranteed.

Dallas has winnable games with the Eagles at home and the Giants away.

Cardinals have a fight with home against the 49ers and away to the Rams.

Washington has us and the Eagles, both winnable games for them.

Bottom line is that it's still too close to call.  Atlanta would have done us all a favor by winning last week, but Falcons gonna Falcons.

      According to the Committee Chairman, losing a conference championship has zero effect on rankings. If you’re Alabama. But not if you’re JMU or Tulane of course. CFP Rules:  “Things don’t matter except when they do.  Also, see Appendix A) Notre Dame rules.”

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      How do the Panthers win Sunday? Playing disciplined D.  Shough can run.  He can also find open guys.  So our team is going to have to play really well and disciplined.  We're also going to have to hit him and move him around. We're going to have to run the ball.  That goes without saying.  It's our identity.  If the zone looks aren't working, then we need to go down hill battering ram to finish this game. We can't turn the ball over.  As we've seen, when we give up the ball early and often, we loose.   Finally - which Bryce do we get?  Do we get the guy who is ready to kick butt?  Or the guy scared of his shadow.   What's the vibe going to be?  Does he give up the football?  Or does he make some great throws with it? As Canales has stated, you don't get much better than "Guys, if we keep winning, we win the division and host a playoff game."  The guys have to know, and they are going to have to play their best football.  So this game is a test.  How ready are they?  Are they good enough to take care of business?  Or will the whole thing fall apart again? I'm not sure how I feel personally.  I want my team to do well.  You never know with a "dead" team like the Saints who would be more than happy to play spoiler to our ambitions of winning a Division Title.  I'd love for us to win, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we blow it and get blown out.
