If The Playoffs Were To Begin Today


Recommended Posts

If the playoffs were to begin today, there'd be a lot of pissed-off season ticket holders.

Seriously, though, with all of the winning teams being 1-0 and having the same strength of victory (0-1) and strength of schedule (0-1), plus there being no possibility of 1-0 teams having played each other head-to-head yet, all of the tiebreakers come down to points scored and allowed.

NFL Tiebreakers: [url="http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakers"]http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakers[/url]

For teams with identical 1-0 records, the only tiebreakers that apply are the following:
Step 7: Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Step 8: Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Step 10: Best net points in all games.
Step 11: Best net touchdowns in all games.
Step 12: Coin Flip

In the AFC North, the standings would be:

Team (W-L) PCT PF-PA CRO-CRD=CR
Baltimore (1-0) 1.000 27-0 2-1=3
pissburgh (1-0) 1.000 28-17 1-5=6
Cincinnati (1-0) 1.000 23-10 6-3=9
Cleveland (0-1) 0.000 14-18 12-9=21

The Ravens' 27 points scored is 2nd best in the league, behind only pissburgh. The Bengals' 23 points puts them in 6th. Defensively, the Ravens have yielded 0 points, good enough for 1st rank. The Bengals' 10 points puts them in 3rd, the stealers' 17 points against is 5th.

Here's how the entire league looks
AFC-E: 1-NYJ (1-0, 10), 2-NE (1-0, 13), 3-BUF (0-1, 18), 4-MIA (0-1, 25)
AFC-N: 1-BAL (1-0, 3), 2-PIT (1-0, 6), 3-CIN (1-0, 9), 4-CLE (0-1, 21)
AFC-S: 1-JAX (1-0, 10), 2-IND (1-0, 15), 3-TEN (0-1, 23), 4-HOU (0-1, 27)
AFC-W: 1-SD (1-0, 3), 2-DEN (0-1, 21), 3-KC (0-1, 25), 4-OAK (0-1, 31)

NFC-E: 1-PHI (1-0, 9), 2-NYG (0-1, 17), 3-WAS (0-1, 20), 4-DAL (0-1, 21)
NFC-N: 1-CHI (1-0, 4), 2-MIN (1-0, 15), 3-DET (0-1, 17), 4-GB (0-1, 27)
NFC-S: 1-ATL (1-0, 8), 2-NO (1-0, 14), 3-CAR (0-1, 23), 4-TB (0-1, 29)
NFC-W: 1-STL (1-0, 14/24), 2-SEA (1-0, 14/31), 3-ARI (1-0, 15), 4-SF (0-1, 18)

St Louis and Seattle's tiebreaker for first place in the NFC West goes to Step 8, best league-wide combined ranking, where St Louis's 24 beats Seattle's 31.

The Bengals would be the #6 seed and would travel to JAX or NYJ, depending who wins a coin flip. The stealers would be the #5 seed and would travel to the loser of the coin flip. Baltimore and San Diego would get the bye. New Orleans would play at St Louis, Seattle would travel to Philly, and Chicago/Atlanta would be on a bye.

[quote name='TheWretchedMass' post='337813' date='Sep 12 2006, 09:11 AM']On NLF.com we're listed in 2nd place.

Blatimore
Cincinnati
pissburgh

Could be either:
Alphabetical since we're all 1-0

Or

We're 2nd cause we have a road win and Pitt has a home win.

I think it's the road win....[/quote]

I'm pretty sure it's alphabetical.

The NFL.com website's standing are alphabetical.

The conference record tiebreaker (in fact, all record-based tiebreakers) are not based on wins and losses, per se, but on winning percentage. Baltimore's game was out of conference, so they've played no conference games, so they don't have a winning percentage. It's not 1.0, it's not 0.0, it has no value at all, which invalidates the tiebreaker.

And yeah, I do have some time on my hands this morning. It's raining outside right now, and since the cows are already milked, there's little else to do until it stops. Graber's barnrasing is this afternoon, and we've all pretty much cleared our scheduled. Except for a meeting at Noon to discuss button holes vs. eyehooks, my Outlook Calendar is pretty much empty right now.

this shit is hilarious...

[quote]The cool October night air snuck under the folds of Martha's traditional blue frock as she stole into the rows of corn next to the dark shuttered house where she had been only moments ago. The cobs of corn gently brushed her body, exciting her and making her ever more anxious to reach her destination; the phallic fruit had always had that effect on her.

The meeting was held in the house on the other side of the field where the forbidden desires of the secret society could be indulged until each member, panting and weak with pleasure, slowly returned to their homes, their prohibited hunger satiated. Martha climbed the steps to the darkened door and swiftly entered. Once inside she shed her frock to reveal the dress she was forced to hide from the light of day; calf-length and mixed fibers. The implications alone further excited her.

The gathering had already begun, the group twisting and moaning in the dimly lit room as the electronic orgy began. The left of the room found itself crammed with pleasure-seekers huddled in a groping, groaning, sweaty group of girls, each vying for the smooth, black object being passed around. Martha pushed her way into the group; hungry, wet, seeking release. She gripped the mighty tool with both hands, barely able to get her fingers around the monstrous object, and slowly lowered it to her waist.

Orgasmically she pressed the button, sending waves of ecstatic pleasure through every inch of her body; she pressed it again. Maniacally, in a trance, she pushed harder and harder, whimpering, sweating, losing her breath. Volume up, volume down, channel up, channel down, contrast, color, tone. The picture box followed her every command, fulfilled her every desire she punched into the remote control. With one final thrust of the volume she shuddered, screamed and collapsed euphorically onto the plush carpeting, only to be quickly swarmed by the eager group.


Her wool undergarments dampened, her face painted with a catatonic grin, Martha lay there for a moment before weakly standing up. Her mind still flooded with pleasure and her body throbbing, Martha knew she should return home, unable to deal with more arousal at this time. Stumbling toward the door Martha was run into by a girl driven mad by the indoor plumbing and was thrust into a table, unwittingly turning on the radio.

Surprised by the sudden electronic pornography flooding her ears her knees gave way and she was held down by weakness unable to fight off the radio rapist. Wave after wave rushed over her until finally, slowly, an intense climax overcame her as the ballad finished. Twice in one night, she mused, as she drifted off to dreams of motor buggies and cotton dresses.[/quote]
