WEEK ELEVEN REPORT
Eleven weeks are in the books with only two
regular season weeks remaining. By this time in the year, I thought we
would have a pretty good idea of what each team would need to make the
playoffs. Unfortunately, the playoff picture is still not very clear --
at least not for the Hair Conference teams. Before we outline each team's
postseason chances, here are the final results for Week Eleven:
|
Dirty Sanchez (7-4)
defeated The Funhouse Slaps
(6-5), 86-85
The Savants (7-4)
defeated Bullseye (7-4),
126-109
The Endzone Dancers (8-3)
defeated Jo-Boo's Browns Backers (0-11),
101-57
Santana's No Randy! TNT©
(6-5) defeated The
Fat Bus (4-7), 115-82
Akili's All-Stars (8-3)
defeated Team TBD (2-9),
93-82
|
And a few additional comments before we look
at the playoff race:
1.) Team
TBD, one owner has figured out your losing
formula. In a memo sent to the commissioner's office, the owner of Akili's
All-Stars stated the secret to your team's
below average play is your committment to the "4-3." No, not
the 4-3 defense, but the fact that you have FOUR players on your
roster from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and THREE players from the
San Diego Chargers. Both of those NFL teams are arguably the worst offensive
teams in the league. In other words, over a third of your offensive roster
is comprised of players from the shittiest scoring teams in professional
football! Maybe you might want to use the 2nd pick in next year's draft
to select a player from a team that actually scores. That way you'll have
a chance to improve on your lifetime 29% winning percentage.
2.) Will someone please explain to me how
The Fat Bus has
only 4 wins this season? It's unbelievable when you consider that they
get to play both Jo-Boo's Browns Backers and
Team TBD two times this year!
3.) Akili's All-Stars
has a chance to be the first team with a perfect
record in their conference. With a 7-0 record in Lip Conference games,
only The Funhouse Slaps stand
in their way from accomplishing this feat.
4.) The Hair Conference has completely dominated
the Lip Conference this year in interleague games, winning 18 out of 21
games. Also, the Lips lead in overall scoring by 980 points. The Hair Conference
is already guaranteed to have 4 teams in the playoffs, as currently all
of the teams in the division have a winning record. One of the Hair teams
is going to get screwed out of a postseason berth.

* There
is a possibility that Santana's No Randy! TNT© will win
their final two games , The Endzone Dancers will lose their final two games,
the other three Hair Conference teams will each win at least one of their
final games AND at leat one of these three teams will lose one of their
final two games. In this scenario, at least three teams from the Hair Conference
will finish at the bottom of the conference with identical 8-5 win-loss
records. At this point, applying the tiebreaker rules to determine playoff
berths (and possibly the conference champion and/or runner-up) may become
complex. In the event that the tiebreaker rules do not clearly identify
final regular season positions when applied in the traditional manner (examining
only two teams at a time), then the tiebreaker criteria will be applied
to all relative teams simultaneously.
As always, there may be other scenarios that
I have omitted from the above summary, but the basic needs of all teams
fighting to make the playoffs are displayed.
Next week is huge for many teams. Good luck
to you all!
