The answer may depend on the sport and the association. Typically the first tie-breaker is head-to-head competition. Divisional record is usually next. There can be several other tie-breakers. All things being equal, it sometimes literally comes down to a coin toss.

Can you explain how the NFL standings work and how teams are ranked based on their performance throughout the season?

In the NFL, teams are ranked in the standings based on their win-loss record. A team earns 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. Teams are then ranked within their division based on their total points. In case of a tie, other factors like head-to-head record, conference record, and strength of schedule are considered to determine the ranking. The top teams from each division and a few wild card teams with the best records make it to the playoffs.

The NFL uses a series of tiebreaking criteria to determine division standings when teams have the same record. These criteria include head-to-head record, division record, conference record, common games record, strength of victory, and strength of schedule. If teams are still tied after these criteria are applied, a coin toss may be used as a last resort.


In the NFL if two non-division champions teams with the same record and same division record are fighting the last spot of playoff what are the requirements?

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking what is the tiebreaker for determining the wild card teams in the NFL. There are a set series of steps the NFL goes through to break ties in the standings. The first is head-to-head records. The won-loss-tied records in games against the other tied teams are compared and the team with the highest win percentage (ties counting half-a-win) wins the tiebreaker. The whole tiebreaking procedure can be found at http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures.
