Now how have I pissed you off?
LOL, isn't it redundant asking how you pissed off a guy who's screen name is Angry
JoeRedskin 12-07-2010, 11:04 AM Posted this on the Yahoo Board but posting it here too.
The Play-Off picture in the Money League this year is coming down to the wire. Nittany Drunkards and Ghetto Dog All-Stars have clinched and four teams are contending for the last two spots. The Four teams are: Give'em Da Business, Mechanix & JR's Dirtbags (all at 8-5) and Mr. Fat69 (at 7-6).
[Nittany, at 9-4, isn't shown as "clinched" by Yahoo because their are currently three 8-5 teams. So, technically and, just looking at the records and points, ND could fall to 9-5 and be outpointed by all three current 9-5 teams. If that were to happen, he wouldn't qualify. However, since two of the 8-5's play each other, only two more teams, at most, can reach 9-5 and ND is a de facto lock for the play-offs].
Here's how the final four break down. Essentially, it's a win and in with a glimmer of extra hope for Give'em Da Business.
The winner of Give'em Da Business v. JR Dirtbags is in.
If Mechanix wins in Mechanix v. Mr. Fat69, Mechanix is in.
If Mr. Fat69 wins, he is in UNLESS the loser of GDB v. JR game outpoints him for the season. For that to occur, on Sunday, either: (a) GDB's losing score ends up 9.3 points higher than Mr. Fat's winning score; OR (b) my losing score ends up 76.02 points higher than Mr. Fat's winning score.
[Mechanix is already behind Mr. Fat in points for the season. Thus, if Mechanix loses to Mr. Fat on Sunday, he cannot outpoint him for the season and Mr. Fat would be the 8-6 team to advance unless outpointed by GDB].
Realistically, of the four teams in remaining in contention: Only GDB can lose and still qualify and only Mr. Fat69 can win and not qualify. FURTHER, the only way that scenario happens is if Mr.Fat69 wins AND GDB loses but outscores Mr. Fat by about 10 points on Sunday.
Play-off fever! Catch it!!!
Good luck to you guys, my team has been an epic fail. Never had a FF team this bad.
But in my work league I'm 12-1, so at least I have that to counter my 2-11 team.
GTripp0012 12-07-2010, 11:10 AM It's a really luck heavy year in the WP $ league. There's almost no correlation between points scored and W-L record this year, but there's a strong correlation between points against and W-L record. With the exception of GhettoDog, who has the best team, the other playoff teams will almost certainly be among the teams who have the four lowest points scored against them.
Not to complain, as I'm exactly where I should be given my questionable start/sit decisions all year. Just interesting that it's working out like this.
JoeRedskin 12-07-2010, 11:15 AM At least you didn't zombie. In fact, I think most owners, even those out of contention, are still trying to win. At the same time, nice that all the games w/ play-off implications involve teams in contention and with a vested interest in the outcome.
Several owners in the WP free league have checked out it seems and, I think, some zombies have affected the play-off picture.
KLHJ2 12-07-2010, 11:39 AM HMMM I'm number 3 in scoring and the least scored against. I am number 3 overall in terms of record, sounds pretty consistent to me.
JoeRedskin 12-07-2010, 11:55 AM Yeah, I am the guy wrecking the bell-curve right now. Currently in 5th place, I am 9th in scoring but have had the second least points scored against me.
Frankly, I am amazed I am even in contention given that I lost my RB2 (Ryan Grant) the first weekend. I had 4 games less than 60 points (all losses) including one less than 50. On the other hand, I have only had two teams score over 80 against me (one win and one loss). At the opposite end of the spectrum, GDA's three losses came when he scored 79, 85 & 82.
KLHJ2 12-07-2010, 12:04 PM Yeah I understand the craziness in the league. I just wanted to point out that there was a little bit of sanity.

Actually, the five top scorers are in the top six spots AND, if Mr. Fat and Angry's team make it in, then the top four scorers will make the playoffs.
At the same time, your "points against" is well taken.
