Do we want to do playoffs by overall seeds or in-division matchups for round 1? I can't recall how we've done it in the past... and whether we want to change that to be overall given how ~questionable~ divisions were this year.

They have fantrax doing that? I like 1 and 3.

24 team league would be only doable if we get rid of 1 or 2 bench spots.

Wouldn't be mad about ditching bench spots for increasing the size of the league by 4. I personally really like the idea of playing 1 division team and 1 non-division team each week to make the divisions actually matter.

Options:
1. Add extra conferences
2. Straight up just drop a bench spot
3. Drop two bench spots, but also drop the TE position (make it a 3rd WR position, or a WT position where you can play a TE or WR but no RB, or something)
4. Just add 4 teams and suck it up to have an extremely deep league (not my favorite)

We could also get really crazy and add a few keeper spots, but that may be getting too involved. Something like adding 3 bench spots and then picking 3 keepers for each team after the season. Worth discussing, although that would complicate stuff for Webbeh and I'm sure he is a busy guy.

gently caress you we did it by overall seed last year

edit: i want you to know that i love you and i mean this sarcastically but also if you switch this up on me and make me play the second place team in the first round i will hate you forever until our last dying days

edit 2: top seed picks their opponent, then 2nd picks from the remaining, then 3rd picks from the last few and the final two go against each other this is perfect lets do it

DC Murderverse posted:

so if i'm reading this right:

PLAYOFFS:

1. 500k Per Win v 8. Local Man Ruins Everything
2. Herbert for Heisman v. 7. Phyllis from Mulga
3. Age is Just a Number v. 6. Legalize Dog Marriage
4. Mike Sherman's Alouettes v. 5. The Glory, Glory Hole

The highest scoring teams that didn't make it in were University of Phoenix (5th overall) and Steak Sandwich Supreme (7th overall).
The lowest scoring teams in the playoffs are Legalize Dog Marriage (15th overall) and Glory, Glory Hole (12th overall)

The highest scoring team was Phyllis from Mulga with nearly 100 points more than 2nd place. The next 7 are worth looking at because holy poo poo:

2 500k Per Win: The Kirk Ferentz Story - 2402.25
3 Local Man Ruins Everything - 2400
4 Herbert for Heisman - 2399.75
5 University of Phoenix - 2396.75
6 Age is just a number - 2390.5
7 Steak Sandwich Supreme - 2383.75
8 Fat Shirtless State Guys - 2372.25

that means 2.5 points was the difference between me and Herbert for Heisman winning the top seed, and it doesn't affect anything but 3rd and 4th were off by .25

Wow. If I had started literally any of my other RB's than Lamical Perine (including the one that was on IR who made a surprise early return), I would have been top seed.

And a way we've done it in the past has been division winners get 1-4, division losers are ranked based on record and score. So the way I've got it,

1. 500k/win vs Local Man Ruins Everything.
4. The Glory, Glory Hole vs Herbert for Heisman
3. Mike Sherman's Alouettes vs Legalize Dog Marriage
2. Age is just a number vs Phyllis from Mulga

So... I much prefer your setup where I get to play not Scionix, though my 2nd round matchup is better.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I had to pick up a third quarterback this week. Why is this? Well because my two current quarterbacks(two of the top scoring quarterbacks of the year, even if McDonald isn't playing like he was at the beginning of the season) have a bye and a game against Alabama respectively.

Fun fact: the average score of a team at the quarterback position (not just the starter, as 4 of Bama's 9 opponents brought out backups at some point during their games) against Alabama is 27.4 points. The highest scoring QB was from Arkansas of all places. Nick Saban is a dark lord.

Meanwhile, Illinois, the team that my temporary starting quarterback, Adrian Martinez, is playing has only allowed less than 37 points once (Rutgers is real bad y'all), and opposing QBs average 47 points. their sole saving grace is that 70 is as high a score as they've allowed (from Kent State, of all places).

I started the year with Adrian Martinez.

I am starting Sam Ehlinger, who is playing against my own team of choice in a game that I will be attending live. I figure I'm hedging happiness. If he goes down or sucks it up, then it's a good sign that my team won the game. If he goes off and scores a bunch, well, at least my fantasy team stands a good chance vs Kyler Murray.

Really hoping my team is back to full strength this week. Getting Laviska Shenault Jr back from turf toe would be fantastic. I've had turf toe, myself... it sucks and takes ages to get right. My toe still can't bend certain ways, and it happened two years ago.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

i think it's kinda funny that both me and my opponent are staring Tulane RBs.

Also 75 points from Martinez means I made the right call. (unless someone replaces Alabama with a high school football team this afternoon)

edit: a fun fact I just learned is that this system doesn't have any points built in for teams allowing negative yards on defense so if, for instance, your team's opponent has -6 yards of offense but 7 points from a punt return, it looks like your defense is not getting you any points!

fun mirrors between me and my opponent this week:

We are both starting Iowa Tight Ends (which sounds crazy until you consider that the higher-scoring of the pair is ostensibly the back-up and not the probable first Tight End selected in the NFL draft this year because Iowa has two of the top 5 TEs in the country)
Between us we have 5 players total from the state of Utah (I have Utah's now-starting RB and Utah State's defense, he has Utah's top receiver and Utah State's starting RB and kicker)
Will Grier brought me to my championship game last year before he broke himself, and now I have to defeat him in order to reach the championship game this year

Due to the fires, the Stanford-Cal game will not be played on Nov 17. This means if you have any of those players in your starting (Active) lineup for Nov 17, those players will receive zero points.

So, I've made plenty...

Let's see if my QB decisions will work out in my favor. I'm not sure that it will.
