Week 17 Discussion

[aholbert]

Haven't I clinched the division already? Even if I lose to Anchorage, we will both be 9-7, split the season series, but I would be 4-2 in the division and Anchorage would be 2-4.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I wasnt sure. I'm not sure if Division or Conference comes first. I think you are right but I wasnt sure.

[Sully]

Chances of Port City to win, will be very slim.. You see who I play...LOL

Cowell likely won't take a snap, and Heflin might only play half of the game. We're not taking any chances. You'll see a lot of backups.

Can someone help me figure out the AC East? That shit is confusing.

If it works like the NFL...

Motor City WINS and they are in no matter what....

PUNX WINS they need a LAKE COUNTY loss to be in....

LAKE COUNTY WINS they need a MOTOR CITY loss...

OHIO VALLEY can't get in unless they win and the other game ends in a tie...

So, statistically... everyone is alive.

[aholbert]

Thanks Clay.

Here is the NC Playoff Picture:

Morgantown (13-2) - Clinched Division and first round bye. Clinches #1 Seed with win.
Yuma (12-3) - Clinched Division and first round bye. Clinches #1 seed with win and Morgantown loss
N. Liberty (11-4) - Clinched Division.
Gainesville (11-4) - Clinched Wild Card
St. Paul (9-6)- Clinches Wild Card w/ a win
Boston (8-7) Clinched Division

San Francisco (9-6) - Clinches Wild Card w/ a win and St. Paul loss.

St. Paul (9-6)- Clinches Wild Card w/ a win
Boston (8-7) Clinched Division

San Francisco (9-6) - Clinches Wild Card w/ a win and St. Paul loss.

So, we're looking at ...

Morgantown and Yuma have byes

St. Paul/San Francisco will visit North Liberty
Gainesville will visit Boston

[Sully]

Here is the American Conference Playoff Picture:

Memphis (14-1) - Clinched Division, #1 Seed and Home Field throughout the Playoffs.

Utah (12-3) - Clinched Playoff Spot. Clinch Division and #2 seed with win.

Denver (12-3) - Clinched Playoff Spot. Win Division and #2 seed with win and Utah Loss.

Portland (9-6) Clinched Playoff Spot. Clinch Division w/ win

New Orleans (9-6) Clinch Wild Card w/ win

Anchorage (8-7) Clinch Division w/ win

Port City (8-7) Clinch Wild Card w/ win and Anchorage and N.O. loss

Can someone help me figure out the AC East? That shit is confusing.

In the AC, it looks like:

Memphis and Utah have byes

NO/Anchorage/PC will visit Portland
Denver will visit the AC East Winner

[aholbert]

So, we're looking at ...

Morgantown and Yuma have byes

St. Paul/San Francisco will visit North Liberty
Gainesville will visit Boston

Flip the Wild Card games:

N. Liberty has a better Conference record so I think they will face Boston and Gainesville will face St. Paul if things stay the same.

Well me and Boston are division champs so won't Gainsville and St. Paul/San Fran have to come to our houses(like Sully said)?

No, you won the division.

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.
Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

#3 on that list is my problem. I split with Utah and we've got the same division record, but I lost to Portland and he beat them. I didn't think that loss was too big of a deal at the time, but I'd love to have it back now.

Well, if this is true... my breakdown of the AC East isn't valid. I was under the impression that #4 was above #3.

Yep. Division champs host the two wildcard teams.

Are you serious? So I have to go to Boston even though I have a better W-L, conference record, division record and beat them head to head? Thats some BS.

I should know this stuff since I'm the commish.

lol, yeah, it's just like the NFL. The four division winners are guaranteed at least one home game. The two wildcard teams will play their first game on the road, and the 5th seed will only have a home game if they face the 6th seed in the conference championship game.

Thank you for clearing that up. Now I know I won't play my starters much in the game against Chicago this week. I'm locked to play St. Paul/San Fran anyway.
