Week 13 Playoff Seeding Scenarios

Current Playoff Seeding:

1. PGD
2. Da Moon’s Huge Craters
3. Jedi Knights
4. Moore on the Run
5. Uur UPS
6. Sacramento Wolfpack
7. Cloud 9

In the hunt: Gandalf the Goat

PGD clinches the 1 seed with a win in Week 14 or losses by the Jedi Knights and Craters. It’s noteworthy that the PGD lose the head to head tiebreaker to both Jedi Knights and Craters having lost both head to head matchups earlier in the season.

    The Craters will clinch the 2 seed at worst with a victory. They can jump to the 1 seed with a victory and loss by PGD and Jedi Knights. If all three teams are tied at 10-3, it would go to a divisional record tiebreaker where the Craters would retain the 1 seed with a superior 5-1 divisional record. They currently have the divisional record tiebreaker over the Jedi Knights for any head to head tiebreakers.

    The Jedi Knights will clinch the 3 seed at worst with a victory. They can jump to the 1 seed with a victory and losses by both PGD and Craters since they own the head to head tiebreaker against the PGD.

    The FFC East winner is going down to a Week 14 showdown between Gandalf the Goat and Moore on the Run. It is significant that the Goats won their Week 3 matchup. The Goat winning in Week 14 would force a tie and the Goat would win the head to head tiebreaker 2-0. If Moore on the Run wins, they win the division simple enough. Seeding is based on how the other three division leaders fare, but the FFC East winner can do no worse than the 4 seed.

    The current 5-seed Uur UPS is one game back of the FFC South race. UPS winning in Week 14 and the Craters losing would force a tie, with both teams tied with a 4-2 divisional record, and it going to a points scored tiebreaker of which Uur UPS has a substantial lead by over 200 fantasy points. Any tie would most likely mean UPS wins the division and earns a top 4 seed at worst.

    Of the current 7-6 teams, the Wolfpack and Goats holds the divisional record superiority at 4-1. Cloud 9 holds the points scored tiebreaker at 1122.16 points (marginally leading the Wolfpack). Other notable tiebreakers:
    -The Wolfpack holds the head to head tiebreaker over Cloud 9. 
    -Cloud 9 holds the head to head tiebreaker over Gandalf the Goat.

    There are too many what if scenarios for 6-win teams for me to detail but they are all statistical longshots. The most likely playoff team with 6 wins would be Pool of the Dead who holds a 3-2 divisional record, but would need a lot of outside help.
