And here are the Pot breakdowns for the All-Ireland at this point (one county from each pot will enter one of the four All-Ireland SFC groups):

Pot 1

Connacht SFC winner

Leinster SFC winner

Munster SFC winner

Ulster SFC winner

Pot 2

Connacht SFC runner-up

Leinster SFC runner-up

Munster SFC runner-up

Ulster SFC runner-up

Pot 3

Mayo

Loser of Roscommon/Galway

Tyrone

12th ranked team


Pot 4

13th ranked team

14th ranked team

15th ranked team

16th ranked team

There is some confusion that if Westmeath reached the Leinster final that would somehow open up another spot, but a place is only reserved for the Tailteann Cup winners if they haven’t already qualified. So, Westmeath will be taking the place of a higher-ranked team regardless and making the Leinster final would just mean a higher seeding for them in the group phase.

The top 16-ranked teams from the league were: 1. Mayo, 2. Galway, 3. Roscommon, 4. Tyrone, 5. Kerry, 6. Monaghan, 7. Dublin, 8. Derry, 9. Armagh, 10. Donegal, 11. Louth, 12. Cork, 13. Kildare, 14. Meath, 15. Cavan, 16. Fermanagh.

We’ll start with the easy part, Fermanagh, despite being promoted from Division 3 this season, will return to the Tailteann Cup given that two of Clare, Limerick, Sligo or New York are guaranteed to overtake them on the rankings as they prepare for provincial semi-finals.

They join Antrim, Carlow, Leitrim, London, Longford, Waterford and Wexford as confirmed tier-two teams for now.

So, Tyrone getting beat yesterday means very little.

They put their feet up for a few weeks, then face the likes of :

A provincial winner
Provincial loser - eg. Louth/Sligo/Clare
A lower ranked team - eg. Meath/Kildare/Cork

Even if they finish third, another chance to stay in the championship.

Hardly what you’d call the cut throat nature of championship football.

It seems the third seeds have the best route - a number of weeks to train, prepare and allows for injuries to clear up.
It certainly favours the third seeds followed by seed one group
