The playoff picture ... #1 Raiders (w/1 exception), #4 Chris (for sure) ...
Looks like the playoffs are pretty much set in the FOFFL from what I can tell.
This is how it stands now:
#1 seed - the RAIDERS
#2 seed - Matsagune Maniacs
#3 seed - tubulers team
#4 seed - The Phenomenal Chris
Unless The Phenomenal Chris loses to the CKB, which is unlikely, I don't see how any other team can make it at this point.
First off, the
Chris has clinched and -- in all cases -- is the #4 seed, period (unless I'm mistaken on tie-breakers). He will play the #1 seed, which is the Raiders in all cases, sans one, remote combination (see below).
You see, if the Chris loses, and goes 8-6, he has direct versus 1-0 advantage over the 69'ers and jasonz if either wins and goes 8-6. And while he has split 1-1 with the deadskins, he's almost 200 points up on them for the point tie-breaker if the deadskins win as well. Now if the Chris wins, and goes 9-5, it doesn't matter who loses between my Maniacs and the Tubes, I have 1-1 split with over 150 points more and the Tubes have then 2-0 direct versus.
In the case of #2 and #3, it's pretty much my Maniacs or the Tubes, depending on who wins in our direct match-up in Week 14. Whomever wins will have one more win than the other -- don't even have to use direct versus (the Tubes are currently 1-0 over me) or points (which I win by over 200 points right now). So we face off in the #2 v. #3 regardless ...
#1 Raiders (likely 11-3) v. #4 The Phenomenal Chris (likely 9-5)
#2 (10-4) v. #3 (9-5) -- Matsugane Maniacs play Tubulers Team in Week 14, and then immediately rematch in Play-off round 1
With one, rare possibility ...
If -- both -- my Maniacs beat the Tubes and the Raiders lose against Jasonz we would both be 10-4 and I would take either tie-breaker, direct versus at 2-0 or points as I'm exactly 112 points greater right now. That's the only case where it would be different
#1 Matsugane Maniacs (10-4 if beat Tubes) v. #4 The Phenomenal Chris (likely 9-5)
#2 Raiders (10-4 if loss to Jasonz) v. #3 Tubulers Team (9-5 if loss to Manaics)
That's the only possibility that would change the from the far more likely play-off round 1 above.
The seeds could still change though. The only thing that is certain is the RAIDERS are going to be the #1 seed.
Nope, it's not set in stone. If they lose and I win, I win any and all tie-breakers, and take the #1 seed from him, tied with him at 10-4. It's not likely, but it could happen.
I think seeds 2, 3 and 4 could still potentially change places next week.
The Chris takes #4, period, unless point totals matter more than direct versus. In that case, if the 69er's are behind just under 30 points -- so 69er's would have to win, the Chris lose, and the 69er's score 30+ points more. But I think direct versus is the tie-breaker, and the Chris wins against the 69'ers at 1-0. The Chris has far more points against either Jasonz (who would have to beat the Raiders) and Deadskins (who will likely beat the Sirrus).
I hope to see a week 13 summary from Prof V soon. I'm sure we all want to read his commentary on the season so far and his thoughts on the upcoming playoffs as well as his predictions.
Actually, I'm mega-busy. But expect a Playoff preview on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week at the latest.
I'm just glad I didn't drop my 3rd game in a row, and managed to score a crapload against Baill (who had a great game, just like last time against me but I had far more). If that had happened, I really had to worry about the Deadskins knocking me out of the playoffs. I mean, they have the Sirrus this week, and had me 2-0 in direct versus. But luckily I won this past week, so I'll still be up at least one game over them if I manage to lose this week.
