I was looking at the standings and decided to do this again since I did it last year...

Current Playoff Standings:

* = Clinched playoffs (I'm adding an asterisk for teams that just realistically can't miss out on the playoffs even though they're not technically clinched yet - Pat & Caleb)

1. Terminus Terminators | Ian | 9-3*
2. Super Soldiers | Pops | 8-4*
3. Merlin Olsen Twins | Saintpat | 8-4*
4. Ryan's Rad Team | Red Sox | 7-5*
5. Elite Ones | Caleb | 8-4*
6. 6969 Manticores | Snoopz | 7-5
7. MexiHawks | Mexi | 7-5
8. Pillsbury Doughboys | CB | 7-5
-----------------------------------------------
In the hunt:
9. Huh's Red Redskins | Huh | 7-5
10. Baltimore Bandits | Dead | 6-6 (basically eliminated as he's way behind the 7-5 teams in points scored)


Best/worst case seeding scenarios for each team:

Terminus Terminators (9-3)
- Win = #1 seed
- Can still potentially get #1 seed with a loss only if Pat wins the East and Ian outscores Pat by 40 in Week 13.
- Loss + 8-4 team wins = Worst possible seed: #3

Super Soldiers (8-4)
- Win + Ian loss + outscoring the division winner between Pat (currently +7 over) & Caleb (currently -8 under) = #1 seed
- Loss + getting outscored by East division winner = Worst possible seed: #3

Merlin Olsen Twins (8-4)
- Win = top 3 seed
- Win + Ian loss + Pops loss or outscoring Pops by 8 = #1 seed
- Loss + Caleb win = Worst possible seed: #5-8 depending on wild card team games

Ryan's Rad Team (7-5)
- Will be the #4 seed no matter what.

Elite Ones (8-4)
- Win + Pat loss + Pops loss or finishing with more points scored (currently +8 over) = #1 seed
- Loss = Worst possible seed: #5-8 depending on wild card team games

6969 Manticores (7-5)
- Win + Caleb loss + finishing with more points scored than Caleb (currently +11 over) = #5 seed
- Loss + all other 7-5 teams win = Worst possible seed: #9 out of playoffs

MexiHawks (7-5) & Pillsbury Doughboys (7-5)
- They are within 3 points scored of each other so they have the exact same scenarios.
- Win + outscore the other + Snoopz loss = #5 seed
- Loss + other win + Huh win = Worst possible seed: #9 out of playoffs

Huh's Red Redskins (7-5)
- Win + all other 7-5 teams lose = #6 seed
- Win + one 7-5 team loss = #8 seed
- Loss = Worst possible seed: #9-10 out of playoffs (basically impossible to outscore any other teams that also lose)

Do our rosters lock when the playoffs start or will the waivers stay open?

Waivers stay open. Eliminated teams get locked.

Thinking about going with this lineup for Week 13

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/332533/matchup?week=13&mid1=8&mid2=10

Starting Tyrell Williams, Brandon Marshall, and Sammy Watkins
Benching Jamison Crowder, Cole Beasley, and Jaguar's WR M. Lee

RB: No other options

Def: San Diego -- it's a top 7 Fantasy defense

Kicker -- might change kicker at the last second

TE: same -- top 5 TE
QB: same -- top 10 QB

Good. Making sure I could drop Flacco.

This nigga Huh is giving out gameplans like he's coaching the team irl or something

[center]Week 13 Matchups

Clown Town Bliggas vs. MexiHawks - Almost went with a Burdur but with Hightower coming on strong and a projected 14 pts. for Cousin's being laughable, I'm going with Mexi. I'm also projecting an OBJ underperformance.

6969 Manticores vs. StrawHatLeo - Not even close.

Cinderella's Hangover vs. Pillsbury Doughboys - I could see TJ pulling off the upset. But CB's team ultimately looks better.

Terminus Terminators vs. Elite Ones - Ian pushes me to the ground and makes me eat dirt unless my Packers receivers bail me out again.

Dildo Shwaggins vs. Moose Nuggets - Gimme Moose in a low scoring battle that could be less close if Moose switches out his QB and it pays off.

Huh's Red Redskins vs. Super Soldiers - Flip a coin, could go either way.

Merlin Olsen Twins vs. Baltimore Bandits - Dead on the upset behind a strong bounce-back performance from Gore and Rodgers shredding apart Houston.

Ryan's Rad Team vs. Minkville Minks - Last week Mink would have won 90-89. The week before Ryan would have 56-54. So with no playoff complications whatsoever I won't even try to justify my pick.

1. Terminus Terminators (10-3) 1172 pts
2. Merlin Olsen Twins (8-5) 1200 pts
3. Super Soldiers (8-5) 1194 pts
4. Ryan's Rad Team (7-6) 1015 pts
5. Elite Ones (8-5) 1204 pts
6. Mexi's Seahawks (8-5) 1183 pts
7. 6969 Manticores (8-5) 1216 pts
8. Pillsbury Doughboys (8-5) 1153 pts

This is assuming wildcards are based off of H2H but even then I don't know for sure. I have a loss to CB but wins over Justin and Mexi, whereas Mexi has beaten both Justin and CB. To my knowledge those two didn't play this year, so Justin gets the higher seed by points system.

If it's just a points system disregard.

Yeah, wildcard tie-breakers are just based on scoring. So Snoopz would be the 5th seed in that case.

Whoever gets the 5th seed has a juicy opportunity for a SB run. First you face Red Sox and then you possibly face the winner of Ian vs. 8th seed (assuming he gets 1st seed). And Ian's team has fallen apart.

Hopefully I get that juicy opportunity then, tbh. I like juice.

CB would like a big juicy steak

Yahoo

Ian has a RB pool of Miller, Riddick, Ware, and Howard, two good tight ends, one of the best kickers and usually reliable QB. His team hasn't fallen apart

I also play ian in basketball this week.

True.

Seeing everyone talk about playoffs and your team ain't in it.

You can talk about it from the sidelines like me. There's plenty of seats open.

b&d watching from the sidelines like

Why can't I get in the playoffs man

My team always gets hot in the second half of the year after I've BEEN eliminated.

It's not that difficult to outscore teams putting up points in the 70s.

Huh about to miss the playoffs after giving us all the analytics

lol ^

Huh 66
Super Soldier 73

Huh: Has Brandon Marshall and Greg Olsen left to play
Super Soldiers: Has Matt Forte, A. Vinatieri kicker, and Indianapolis defense left to play

Live projection, 7:51 PM, Sunday night:
Huh: 85
Super Soldiers: 98

So, despite me leaving 20 free points on the bench in Tate, I'm virtually guaranteed to win my game this week. Leo's down by 11 points and all he has left is his kicker, who has 1 point currently, and it's almost half way through the 4th quarter of his game. I also have my QB playing tomorrow.

The only person who can, realistically, end up ahead of me (aside from the four who win their divisions) is Caleb, but he needs to beat Ian to get that, since he can't get enough points to go ahead of me without beating Ian. It's down to Newtown in the 4th quarter to make Caleb 10 more points for that, iwbh.

Either way, I'm ending the main season at 5th or 6th and making the playoffs.
