I'm dreading the playoff calculations this year

It actually looks a bit easier this week, but the NFC has two 8-4 teams, three 7-5 teams and two 6-6 teams. It's going to be close.

tuckfard: Dec 9, 2003; Just chillin

I think I'm either mathematically eliminated or need a series of large miracles. Even if I do end up tied with several 7-6 teams, my division and conference records don't seem too hot.

It is awesome seeing all these similar records though.

It sucks when all you have to do is hear the Cowboys won a low scoring game to know you aren't winning the week. My team is Dak and the other guys and I really need him to score 25+ per week to win. :shrug:

I do believe I need to win plus wins by Blank's Banks, Seattle Frasiers, and Zoltan Mesko to squeak in as the last wild card. aka RIP season, Jordy Nelson put you out of your misery last week.

Every year I try to do this, I always get my calculations wrong. But damned if I won't try until Jetsguy laughs at me and proves me wrong. Feel free to check the math and see if I forgot to carry a four or divide by zero or something.

But...(assuming no scoring changes or that Quincy doesn't get negative yardage tomorrow night to make me lose), the NFC may actually be simple.

Solid State Poo lost, going to 8-5.
I will most likely win, going to 8-5.
Deflated Bush most likely will win, going to 8-5.
Naptown Sleepers will most likely win, going to 9-4. It doesn't actually matter if he wins or not, because Inglorious Staffords lost, going to 7-6, so Sleepers wins the Romo division.

No other team in the NFC has eight wins, so that's your NFC. No idea who won the Montana division, probably not me.

Mouth Breathing Retards won, going to 9-4, winning the Namath division.
Zoltan Mesko wins and goes 8-5, winning the Marino division.
Baller Status won, going 8-5.
Cows too close to tell with two players left on both sides. If the Cows win, they're 8-5.

If the Cows don't win, then there are multiple teams in the AFC that could finish with seven wins and possibly get in.

I swear, if I miscalculated and barely miss the drat playoffs again.... :argh:

Well my one small victory of the season is that beating the Cows probably makes the playoffs harder to figure out.

Not to pick on you, but I don't even understand the logic of starting the 49er defense. Chiefs have been killing it on defense all year, and the 49ers have been one of the worst fantasy defenses in the last few years.

This means the matchups may literally be changed during the RNF game.

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

AFC
Mouthbreathing Retards and Zoltan Mesko won their divisions. Mouthbreathers have the better record, so they get the 1 and 2 seeds, respectively.

Baller Status wins the #3 slot with the best record of the remaining teams.

We then have a 3 way tie with the 7-6 teams: Cow, Freeneys, & Banks. By NFL rules, we first apply the division tiebreaker to Cows & Freeneys:
- Cows and Freeneys split
- Cows had the better division record (6-2) over Freeneys (3-5)

So we're then left with the Cows and Banks to determine who gets the last slot. We're (I'm) forunate here in that there was a HtH game. The Banks beat the Cows. Therefore, The Banks get the #4 slot.

AFC BRACKET:

code:

1.   Mouth Breathing Retards
4.   Blank's Banks

2.   Zoltan Mesko
3.   Baller Status

NFC
Well the #1 slot is obvious and goes to the Naptown Sleepers, who has the best record with 9-4.

We then have a three-way tie for the Joe Montana Division. First step with a three way tie for the division is W% among the three teams. "Solid State Poo" makes my life easy by going 3-1 in his four games against the other two. Deflated Bush went 2-2, "Striving for Mediocrity"... well, did with 1-3.
#2, and winner of the division - "Solid State Poo"

Luckily for those two guys, they get into the playoffs since no one in the Bart Starr/Tony Romo division got to 8-5. We go to the head to head record to determine their seeding.
- They split in HtH

*unlike* for a division tiebreaker, we now go to W% among the CONFERENCE (not the division). Both teams went 2-1 in their games against the Tony Romo division, which makes their Conference records 8-3 (Deflated Bush) and 7-4 (Mediocrity).

NFC Bracket:

code:

1.    Naptown Sleepers
4.    Striving for Mediocrity

3.    Deflated Bush
2.    Solid State Poo

I'm going to update the ESPN right now. It's on you to check that I did it right.

As with last year, I'm too damned lazy to do the consolation ladder. It's usually close enough and no one cares.

You were pretty much right, if Cows won. Cows losing that last game and going 7-6 ultimately screwed him because the tiebreakers just fell against him.
