Playoff Prediction Bracket: Scoring and Rules

::EDITORS NOTE:: These rules and scorings have been adjusted to reflect awesome suggestions seen below. If you're looking at some comment below and are all like "OMGWTF???" it's probably because a very reasonable change has been made.

So for the Playoff Prediction Playoffs, I thought I'd lay down the rules and scoring as I see them right now, and then take comments and suggestions on the rest.

Rules:

1. Once we have the bracket for the week in place, e-mail your predictions for each game to Fooch no later than kickoff of each playoff playoff game, along with your tiebreak prediction which I will ask you about later.
   
2. Any games that you do not e-mail your predictions to Fooch by kickoff will NOT be forfeited if you submit those prediction on time to the prediction thread yourself, but your opponent might take that opportunity to "price is right" your ass. So do it at your own risk.
   
2. Once Fooch has the predictions for an individual head to head matchup, he can copy/paste them into the prediction thread as comments so that they are also available for me to score in both the head to head matchups and the overall competition, so don't worry about getting getting squeezed out of the "overall" playoff game if you choose to e-mail.
   
3. Players will be seeded by their final ranking in the regular season prediction games, and the top 8 players will advance to the playoff bracket.
   
4. If there are ties in the rankings (i.e. 2 number 3 seeds because of a tie), the higher seed will be determined by some means I'm going to ask you about.
   
5. Week one of the playoffs will match players up so that the 1 seed paces the 8 seed, the 2 seed faces the 7 seed, and so on. Week 2 will match the highest remaining seed against the lowest remaining seed, and so on like that. Weeks 3 and 4 will be the Championship Round.

1. For games in which one player chooses the winner and one player chooses the loser, the player who chose the winner will receive 1 point.
   
2. For games in which both players choose the winner, the player whose predicted score is closer to the actual score, as determined by the same equation we've been using all year, will receive 1 point.
   
3. For games in which both players choose the loser, neither player will receive any points.
   
3. The player with more points for the round will win the head to head matchup.
   
4. In the event that both players have the same number of points at the end of a round, the first tiebreak will go to the player who correctly predicted more winners for the week. If a tie still remains, the tiebreak will go to the player with the lowest total predictive score (the number that our prediction equation spits out). If a tie still remains, the tiebreak will go to the player with the more accurate tiebreak prediction, which I will ask you about shortly. If a tiebreak STILL remains, then god dammit both players deserve to move on and we'll have a nice head to head to head matchup in the next round.

1. How does this look to you?
   
2. If there are seeding ties, how do you think we should break them? Obviously, this is pretty small, but I don't feel like "firsties" or "virtual rock paper scissors" are really fair.
   
3. So for the ULTIMATE TIEBREAK! I was just thinking that Fooch should give one game for which the players will predict the total combined yardage, whoever predicting closer winning the ULTIMATE TIEBREAK! I think it's pretty unlikely that we'll get to a point where we need to use an ULTIMATE TIEBREAK! but I'd rather have some contingency in place, and a total yards prediction has precedent (in pick 'ems) and is simple.
   
4. So, ummm... how do you feel about all this?
   
5. Does anything not make sense?
