Ok so, why do colts have their title already according to nfl.com. Jacksonville has 8 wins and Colts 10. f Jacksonville wins the rest of their games and Colts lose all theirs, wont they be tied? I am all for the Colts, I was just wondering though.....

if they are tied at the end of the season, then it would go into a tie breaker.
the first tie breaker is head to head, in which it is 1-1. so you go to the next one, which is divisonal record
colts are 3-2
jags are 2-4
so the colts win that tie break

Indianapolis can clinch a playoff berth with a win or a loss by the Denver Broncos (7-6), who visit the Arizona Cardinals (4-9). The Colts can also seal their fourth straight AFC South title with a win and a loss by Jacksonville, which plays at Tennessee.
The broncos beat the cardinals which gave the colts the playoff berth.

Because the Titans won and the Broncos won, and it is now impossible for the Jaguars to cathc up with the Colts.
