There is no way BXB Blue goes undefeated and doesn’t win division. Win / Loss record is above points. Marginal Points are only in the event of a 3 way tie.

Marginal Points in the event of a tie

That is good to know...except I'm reading the INFC Rulebook (again) and it's not exactly clear on that. It talks about two teams being tied in marginal points and then the winner of head-to-head advances which implies that marginal points are used first. It does NOT mention win/loss record in that section.
It does mention record in a separate section about the playoffs, but doesn't even spell out if it is divisional record or overall record (I'm 99% sure it's divisional record).
I doubt seriously that Bixby Blue will win by less than 4 points so this is likely a moot point (but interesting). I have copy/pasted the pertinent rulebook entry below:
Article 2: Marginal Points shall be calculated for each divisional game played throughout the regular season.
Post-Season eligibility and seeding shall be determined utilizing marginal points. The maximum number of marginal points per game shall be eight points. No team shall add or subtract more than eight points per game.
A. The maximum number of marginal points for any games that went into overtime shall be plus or minus one point.
B. If two teams are tied (on marginal points), the advancer shall be the team that defeated the other during the regular season.
- 1. If three teams are tied (on marginal points), the advancer shall be determined by coin toss at a time and place determined by the Commissioner.
- 2. Remaining playoff spots for tied teams, which lose the coin toss, shall be determined by which team defeated the other during the regular season play.
We need some of our INFC playoff veterans to chime in on this possible scenario.
