This is totally unofficial, but after some discussion with Skippy, I've taken a fast look at the possible playoff seedings even though there are a couple of week #13 games with the outcome still up in the air ... assuming for a moment that those still undecided games remain "as-is" after the conclusion of the HOU-JAX game tonite, the playoffs seedings may shake out something like this:

1 ... ts (9-2)
2 ... New Kid on the Block (8-3)
3 ... Mike's Vikes (7-4)
4 ... Putin's Head (6-5)
5 ... Rocky Mountain Rhinos (6-5)
6 ... ???

... that last playoff spot is going to be a tough one ... in the running, all with 5-6 records at the moment, are:

- Stainless Steel Wingnuts
- Used to be Good
- JoJo's All-Star Techno-Dancing Frogs
- Big John

Looking at head-to-head record as the 1st tie breaker, JoJo, UTBG & Wingnuts are all 2-1 against the other 3 teams involved, while Big John is 0-3 combined against the others ... proceeding to examine head-to-head record between JoJo, UTBG & Wingnuts - all of them are 1-1 against the other two teams involved. In calculating total points scored (the next tie breaker) we have JoJo at 1051, UTBG at 980 & the Wingnuts at 921. This would I think have JoJo snagging that last playoff spot, if all of my other assumptions & calculations are in fact correct - and if so, that gives us:

- ts & New Kid on the Block get a 1st round bye as division winners.
- week #14 >> Mike's Vikes plays JoJo & Putin's Head plays Rhino.
- week #15 >> ts plays Putin's Head / Rhino winner & New Kid plays Mike's Vikes / JoJo winner.
- week #16 >> winners of week #15 games play for the Late Bloomers title.

Again - I want to stress that this analysis is totally unofficial, but Skippy's stuck at work & indicated that if I wanted to try and sort out the playoff seedings and matchup scenarios on an unofficial basis to go ahead & post them. Skippy will no doubt correct any wrong assumptions I've made as quickly as he can this week and get them posted here and plugged into the "official" playoff brackets on MFL.

Good luck to all the rest of the way out, and thanks to everyone for another good / fun Late Bloomers season.

Week #15 is always determined by the #3 vs #6 matchup.

If #3 wins....#1 vs #4/#5 winner and #2 vs #3.
If #6 wins.....#1 vs #6 and #2 vs #4/#5 winner.

Or to rephrase if we clarify #1 as being a ' low number' and #6 being a 'high number'......

#1 plays the highest remaining seed and #2 plays the lowest remaining seed of week 14.

I can not check the site tonight. As I told TS, I was stuck at work, (just got home), but now I need to hit the hay for a 5am start. Jules will most likely check things out to verify or I will be on some time tomorrow to verify.

Thank you for doing the hard leg work there, TS.

Good luck to the rest of you that still have a chance.

Not sure how I managed to stumble into the playoffs (especially looking at this week's results) but I'm here and hoping not to embarrass myself too much!

Congratulations to the other post season contestants!

Nice work TS......thanks. Checked and double checked......lol.

Seeding is as follows:

#1 (9-2) - ts
#2 (8-3) - New Kid on the Block
#3 (7-4) - MikesVikes
#4 (6-5) - Putin's Head (wins H2H over Rhino)
#5 (6-5) - Rockin' Mtn Rhinos
#6 (5-6) - JoJo's All-Star Techno-Dancing Frogs

As ts stated above.....JoJo gets in on the third tiebreak of total points scored.
1st tiebreak: 4-way tie - BJ drops out with an 0-3 H2H record.
2nd tiebreak: 3-way H2H is tied at 1-1 for all.
3rd tiebreak: Most points scored goes to JoJo with 1051.65pts.

I'll work on the brackets today......and FWIW, all non-playoff teams will have their rosters frozen.
Waivers and FCFS will occur for playoff teams only for weeks 14 and 15.
Remember......there are NO WAIVERS/FCFS for week 16 (SuperBowl).


Nice season everyone!! Fun......fun.....fun!!
And a special thanks to Sky for helping me draft during our power outage. Sorry I didn't win anything to split with you Sky.

Good Luck to all in the playoffs!!

Just when I thought I was out..... You pull me back in....


Looks like I'm going to have to go Godfather on you guys....

....it's all out war......we go to the mattresses.


Not me......I'm goin' nowhere.

Wow, that was a tight one Rhino. Good game! Mark Clayton managed to squeeze out just enough to put me over the top. The Colts Defense pick up was the difference maker. Gotta love those Bengals. Can't believe I'm advancing with this team. I'm sure I'll have no problem whatsoever in avenging that 70 pt demolishing Zia pulled on me in week 13th.

Yuk - it looks like I may not have Gore next week ?

Sammy Morris come on down? Not quite how I wanted to head into the post-bye week playoff schedule, LOL.

Uh oh......another EPIC ts vs JoJo matchup.

Hmm ... not sure that I am liking the way these playoff seedings have worked out - JoJo has been putting up a ton of points lately. Who the heck sorted out these playoff seed rankings anyways?

Personally..... I have know idea how I have gotten this far with the lineup I'm puting in.....
