Final Week Playoff Scenarios

Image
by Eric Synrod & Andy Morrish Well boys, it's official: This is the craziest season of AldenLeague in it's 11 year history. Some facts for you going into this final week: Fact 1 : 3 of the top 5 scoring teams enter the final week at 5-7 in 8th-10th places. Fact 2 : The combined record of the top 6 scoring teams is 37-35. The bottom 6 teams? 35-37. Fact 3 : The playoff fates for 8 teams is yet to be determined (we're not talking seeding, we're talking in-or-out). Fact 4 : The Sandridge Division could (and is likely to) end in a four-way tie at 6-7. Fact 5: An 8-team tie for 3rd best record is possible... with all teams at 6-7. Fact 6 : The playoff scenarios were very complicated that we took the liberty of assuming that large point gaps (ie over 30) would not be overcome. You'll notice a few asterisks and some caveats... basically we are saying just use this as a general outline because a lot of craziness could still happen. This season we wouldn't expect...

Playoff Scenerios with 2 Weeks Left!

by Eric Synrod Okay Guys, here is what I got thus far. Crittenden Division: Title clinched by Fireseed, Todd has also clinched a first round bye in playoffs. Westwood Division: Title clinched by C-Men, Corey has also clinched a first round bye in playoffs. Sandridge Division: It is easier to give the scenarios based on this weeks outcomes, so here we go: Week 12 matchups - Stigs vs CheektoWojo - Andy's Red Hots vs BountyHunters Week 13 matchups - Stigs vs Andy's Red Hots - CheektoWojo vs BountyHunters If Stigs and Andy's Red Hots win in week 12: -Stigs clinches division title. If Stigs and BountyHunters win in week 12: - Stigs wins division title with win OR Bounty loss is week 13 - BountyHunters win division title with win AND Stigs loss in week 13 If CheektoWojo and Andy's Red Hots win in week 12: - Stigs and Red Hots week 13 matchup will determine division champ If CheektoWojo and BountyHunters win in week 12: -...

Week 11 - The Homestretch

Image
The NFL saw brilliance in the AldenLeague scheduling formula, and decided to steal our ideas for the 2010 season. All NFL teams will finish off their seasons with their final 3 games being a final gauntlet through their 3 divisional rivals. Sound familiar? The greatness of AldenLeague shines through again! Yes, gentlemen, this is it. The 2010 fantasy season will once again be determined by how well you play against your divisional foes. That starts this week, Week 11, a rematch of what went down in Week 7. As you can all see to the left, only 2 games separates last place from a playoff spot, and only 3 games separates the top team from being out of the postseason. Anything can happen in the final homestretch. Let's take a look: WESTWOOD DIVISION: C-Men vs. Tecmo All-Stars, and Boys of Summer vs. Syn City At 8-2, the C-Men have all but clinched a playoff berth - it would require 3 consecutive losses and a pretty miraculous swing in points scored to keep them out of the post...
