No. In each conference, the top 4 rankings are the three division winners and the non-division-winning team that has the best record out of the rest. You win the division by having the best record out of the division. The order of the top 4 is by record of these 4 teams. The other 4 playoff teams take their ranking by record behind the first 4. So, to answer you question: No, the division winner is always in the top 4 ranking of their conference.
The first determining factor for the playoffs is whether you won your division. Division winners get automatic playoff berths, regardless of their record. Overall records only come into play for tiebreakers.
It might depend on what age teams you intend to coach - but to be honest with you, once your background is investigated, the odds are not in your favor.
No. It is only the overall record that matters when it comes to Division Championships. A team could conceivably win every divisional matchup, yet lose every other game for a record of 6-10, while another team in the same division could lose every divisional matchup, but win every other game for a record of 10-6 and head to the playoffs as the Division Champions (if the other two teams' records were 9-5 or worse). The division games do matter in the case of a tie for the best record in the division, as the head to head record is the first tiebreaker for entry to the playoffs and seeding.
