The team with the best overall record wins the division. Division records only come into play for determining tiebreakers.
It depends upon the league/sport. In the NFL, for example, the team with the best overall record wins their division. In the event of a tie, the division record acts as the tiebreaker. I believe the best conference record wins the conference in NCAA Football, regardless of overall record. Then there are the league like the NHL, where a team earns 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or post regulation loss--with the team accumulating the most points winning their division/conference.
By the team's overall win-loss record.
Generally, the division winner with the best overall record plays the wildcard team. However, if the wildcard team and the team with the best overall record come from the same division, then the wildcard team will play the division winner with the second best overall record and the division winner with the best overall record will play the division winner with the worst overall record. ---------- This must not apply to the wildcard round, however, because the Cowboys (NFC East Winner - #3 Seed) and Eagles (wildcard team - #6 Seed) are playing in the wildcard round.
For playoff purposes. The team in a conference with the best overall record is the No. 1. A playoff team with the weakest overall conference record is the No. 6 seed.

a division record is the win-loss total within a teams conference/division (sec, acc, big ten, etc.) overall record is the win-loss total for all games a team plays, including those not in their conference/division
No. In a best of 7 series, four games at the home of the team with the best record and three at the other team's home.
No. A team's overall win-loss record is used to determine who makes the playoffs. Divisional win-loss record is a criteria used in breaking some ties when it comes to playoff eligibility but is not the sole criteria used in determining who won a division. If two teams finish tied for first place in a division at the end of the season, divisional win-loss record is the second tie breaker used, after head-to-head win-loss record, to determine the division winner. But a team that won all of their divisional games and lost all of their other games would wind up 6-10 and not make the playoffs. No. The team with the best overall win-loss record in the division wins that division and receives an automatic playoff berth. In the event of a tie between two teams, the team with more head-to-head wins over the other team is declared the winner. If there is still a tie, the team with the better overall division record is declared the winner.
