How to prevent duplicates using index,match & large
 

Hey Guys. I'm using index, match & large to sort a list of NFL teams by their point totals. There are a 2 teams with the same point total. Instead of listing both the teams my formula list the the 1st with the same point total twice. What do I need to add to my formula. INDEX($B$3:$B$10,MATCH(LARGE($A$3:$A$10,ROW(A1)),$ A$3:$A$10,0))
Its seems like it should be an easy solution but I've watched video's & read forums but can't find the solution I need. Thanks for any help!
Ive tried attached a file but was having problems. Tried to put the data below.
----------------------- Page 1-----------------------

A B C D E
1 Data Data Pts Tm
2 8 Dal 31 BAL
3 19 Pit 19 Pit
4 9 @ATL 15 PHI
5 15 PHI 12 @DEN
6 31 BAL 9 @ATL
7 12 @DEN 9 @ATL Cell e7 should match b9 instead of listing Atl
8 5 @BUF 8 Dal
9 9 IND 5 @BUF

your sorted points in column D. Then in E2:
=INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF(A$2:A$10=D2,ROW($2:$10)),COUNT IF(D$2:D2,D2)))
Press CTRL+Shift+Enter to enter the array formula and copy down
