With the last week of the regular season approaching, two playoff spots remain open for four potential teams. Here is what each team needs to happen in Week 13 to clinch a spot in the playoffs.
Brandon
- Win
- Lose, and Scott and Ben lose but Brandon does not get outscored by Ben by more than two points. (Brandon owns tiebreaker against Ben).
- Lose, and Scott wins, Ben loses and does not lose by more than seven. (Tyler would own tiebreaker against Brandon).
Ben
- Win
- Lose, and Scott and Tyler lose.
- Lose, and Brandon loses, and not get outscored by Tyler by more than six. (Ben owns tiebreaker against Tyler).
- Lose, Brandon and Scott lose, and outscores Brandon by more than two points. (see tiebreaker scenario above).
Scott
- Win, and either Brandon or Ben lose.
Tyler
- Win, and Ben and Scott lose.
- Win, and Ben loses, and Tyler outscores Ben by more than six. (see tiebreaker scenario above).
Let me know if I've missed a potential scenario.

I believe you indicated that Tyler had been "mathematically eliminated" from playoff contention after week 5.
ReplyDeleteI think Tyler's situation is a bit more complicated. The way I see it, his ways in are:
ReplyDeleteWin and Ben and Scott lose
Win by more than 8 against Brandon, and Scott loses
Win by more than 8 and Ben loses, but Tyler outscores Ben by more than six
If Tyler beats Brandon by less than 8 than Brandon will still own the points tie-breaker over Tyler. If that happens, Tyler would have to outscore Ben, regardless of whether Ben wins or loses AND Scott must lose.
Has anyone worked out the League's Bracketology yet?
I'm all for eliminating kickers next year.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Tyler could win and I could win and Ben or Brandon could lose but Tyler could outscore me by 118 points. Or Brandon and Ben could lose but also outscore me by 110 and 112 points respectively.
ReplyDeleteCheck and check.
