Meanwhile in A League: FBS or Bust locks up his playoff spot with room to spare at 89.38 to 88.50 (thanks to the stellar play of Kirk Cousins with 2.56 points)...sorry MicahK

[RubberMallet]

i'm hitting some bad luck with matchups. middle of the road in point scoring, can't catch a break against who i'm playing. brown won me a game by 1 point last night but also lost me one by 1 point. all i needed was Johnson to catch that last second ball and i would of had it. lol.

[jbock13]

I've scored 175 more points than any other team.

[LUminary]

You beat me by 175 one week.

[TDDance234]

This is the week where I complete my comeback. Time to drown Sly's foxes.

[phoenix]

I win most projections, and then lose the actual game. I can't get my players to live up to their potential

Sounds kinda like my students .....

[jbock13]

I was afraid that was going to happen. This was my one week where my key guys never showed up.

[BJWilliams]

Can't win em all jbock. I remember one year losing only two games all year in one league...1 the last week of the regular season...and the other in the league championship...

[BJWilliams]

We are just past the halfway point and its a very close race for the #8 spot with Bottom Dwellers only 1 game up on 9th (micahK's team) and despite being 1-7, Adam is only 2 games out of the last qualifying spot for 2015

FBS or BUST is on a roll with the only undefeated record in A-League (and possibly A or B League) and 3-8 are only covered by 1 game...

[From the class of 09]

Looks like AD might be worth an add. Somehow improve my 9-0 team. Thanks for not having any waivers BeeJay.

[phoenix]

Thanks for not having any waivers BeeJay.

Interestingly, both leagues I'm in did away with waivers this season. It's been hard to get used to, but I like being able to pick up free agents during the games on Sunday.

[adam42381]

Yeah, not having waivers is stupid. One of several stupid decisions made by the commish.

[jbock13]

Yeah, not having waivers is stupid. One of several stupid decisions made by the commish.

Don't worry, I'm moving back up after my demolition of B league and I am taking over the A league next year due to the unpopularity of the current commish

After all, the owners can always vote to replace...

[adam42381]

I'm heading back to B League next year. Should have auto drafted.

[RubberMallet]

at this point my team has started to play the way it should and i'm now middle of the pack. in 5th having put up the 4th most points and having the 4th most points gone against me. at this point i'll take it.

[BJWilliams]

A League has a real race with 6 teams within a game of each other. 4 of those 6 face each other this week (Liberty Flames vs. Gill's Gophers and MicahK's Team vs. Bottom Dwellers)

[BJWilliams]

Well boys it almost snuck up on me but we are in the final week of the regular season. Three teams have locked in playoff spots and their place in A-League for 2015 (FBS or Bust, Sly's Flying Foxes and Ed Hindson's Toupee)

Below them, however, are two four team races that will shape the final 5 teams locked in for next year. four teams are within a game for the final 3 playoff spots: My Vick in a Box, Gill's Gophers, MicahK's Team and Liberty Flames. The last two in that list are also battling with Bottom Dwellers and ChampionLUConn for a spot to remain in the league. Micahk's team is in the best position to remain with about a 200 point advantage on the other three.

Will go over the scenarios tonight when I get home

[BJWilliams]

Here is what we are looking at:

4. My Vick in a Box 6-6 1279.74 Pts
5. Gill's Gophers 6-6 1227.64
6. MicahK's Team 5-7 1242.24
7. Liberty Flames 5-7 1048.60
8. CHAMPION LUConn 4-8 1051.00
9. Bottom Dwellers 4-8 1034.48

In playoffs with a win:

Gill's Gophers
My Vick in a Box

In playoffs with a win and a loss by someone else:
MicahK's Team
Liberty Flames

Bottom Dwellers can lock up a spot in A-League with a win and a loss by LUConn OR a win and a loss by Liberty Flames and a point differential of +14.13 or greater. If both LUconn AND Bottom Dwellers win OR lose, Bottom Dwellers has to outscore LUconn by 16.53 points or more

[BJWilliams]

By virtue of bottom dwellers running out of players and losing by 44 points with two games left, the 8 teams guaranteed a spot in A-League are now set with Bottom Dwellers and Benny's Diploma Mill heading down to B-League

[BJWilliams]

Here are the official final regular season standings for a-League:

1. FBS OR BUST 11-2
2. Sly's Flying Foxes 10-3
3. Ed Hindson's Toupee 8-5
4. My Vick In A BOX 7-6*
5. Gill's Gophers 7-6
6. MicahK's Team 6-7**
7. Liberty Flames 6-7
8. Champion LUConn 4-9***

Demoted to b-League

9. Bottom Dwellers 4-9
10. Benny's Diploma Mill 2-11

* My Vick In A Box wins the tiebreaker on points scored
** MicahK's Team wins the tiebreaker on points scored and earns playoff berth
***Champion LUConn wins the tiebreaker on points scored and earns the final guaranteed spot

[jbock13]

That was a lot of asterisks.

[BJWilliams]

I know...was better than trying to copy and paste the standings from Yahoo into a message with all those tiebreakers

[phoenix]

My team exceeded expectations for the first time all season this week. Of course, my season is over and I want playing anyone.

[BJWilliams]

Semifinals are set in A League:

MicahK's Team, the 6 seed faces off with #2 seed Sly's Flying Foxes whild #1 seed FBS or Bust goes up against Gill's Gophers.

I look forward to being in A League again next year. I'll decide on the commissioner thing probably around the same time as the NFL Draft

[TDDance234]

After to the start to the season, I wasn't expecting to be in the playoffs. Good luck to whoever FBS or Bust is...
