Wild Card Race
3. T-Money (5-7) x
4. Team Boyer (5-7) x
5. Graybill's Generals (5-7)

z - Division Winner
y – Clinched Playoff Berth
x - Clinched if playoffs started today
Everything is figured out except the damn Wild Card in the RBC.
You guys can’t decide whether you want to dance or not. The Organ Thieves could create a four-way tie for the Wild Card if everyone has a 5-8 record, but the Thieves are eliminated because it would go to the third tie-breaker at that point, which is conference record, and he finished 1-6 in the conference.
T-Money is in with a win no matter what. It would give him a 6-7 record and a 5-2 conference record. No one can match the conference record, so he’s in. Even if he loses, as long as Boyer loses, he’ll still be in — because he’ll be 4-3 in conference, opposed to Boyer’s 3-4. If the Generals won in that scenario to get the No. 3 seed, T-Money would win the because of the second tie-breaker, division record (2-2 with a loss, opposed to Boyer’s 1-3).
If two teams are 6-7, life is easy — they’re in, others out.
The Generals are win and they’re in.
If they lose and Boyer loses — T-Money would own the No. 3 seed at this point no matter what — there are two things that can happen, and it’s screwy, but it’s the rules.
If T-Money wins and the Generals, Boyer and Thieves all lose, the Generals and Boyer would be tied at 5-8.
It would go to the head-to-head match up, the first tie-breaker, which Boyer owns, he defeated the Generals in Week 6.
However, if either T-Money, Generals Boyer all win and go to 6-7, or Generals, Boyer lose plus Thieves win and are 5-8, the three-way tie will automatically jump to the third-tiebreaker because they are cross-division opponents.
At that point, the Thieves would be eliminated. In the winning scenario for the Generals and Boyer, the Generals would enter with the better conference record.
But in the losing scenario, both Boyer and the Generals would be tied in the conference at 3-4. Then it goes to points.
Right now, the Generals have 1226.7, whereas Boyer has 1216.3 — a close battle to say the least.
If somehow there is a tie still after that, it goes to points against, which Boyer leads 1256.1-1292.
There are more tiebreakers after that, but I’m not going into those scenarios now because it requires a calculator.
So just win guys. Com’mon man!
Good luck everyone. I wanted to get a preview, but that isn’t going to happen. I have a business trip to Ohio that I leave for today and will not return until Sunday afternoon.
And I would have wrote one sooner, but you guys know what kind of week I had.
Again good luck. Let’s close out 2009 with a hell of a playoff!
