Whos Out?
First off Id like to express my condolences for the fallen, those who are no longer with us.in
the playoff race that is. At 0-10 Daddy is unfortunately out of the playoff race now, as of last
week though he was still not mathematically eliminated (which is hilarious). A 1-9 record is not
one to be proud of, but it isnt your fault Brandon, considering you have more points than the 3rd
place team in the AFC and your breakdown record is only 2 wins short of theirs it is obvious that
the schedule has been a bitch to you. Thats really all I can say about it, sometimes life isnt fair,
and unfortunately fantasy football is a lot like life in that regard, good news though, youre
getting the 1st or 2nd selection for picks next year so believe me when I say next season will be
looking up for sure. And finally Trey, although he has a 4-6 record that would be good enough in
the AFC, he drew the unfortunate luck of being put in t he NFC. His luck isnt as bad as
Brandons considering Brandon has more points and a better breakdown but 3 less wins, but
Trey didnt win the championship last season so he isnt under the spell of the champions curse
like Brandon is. Luckily next year will be a lot luckier for you guys, I can already feel it.

How Can I get in?

NFC:
In the NFC we already have all 3 spots locked up, which means the only thing left to do is work
out the seeds. At this point any of the 3 teams could get the bye, nothing is for certain except that
theyre in. So with that being said, here is a breakdown of how each team can get the bye:

Jacob: In order for Jacob to get the bye he would need Jake to lose 2 out of his 3 games
and Jacob would need to run the table, or he would need Jake to lose out and Jacob would
need to win 2 of his 3 (he must also beat Jake) and maintain his dominating total points
lead to hold the tie breaker.
Rendon: For Rendon to get the bye he needs to win more games than Jake does from
here out, and he must beat Jake and remain in front of him for total points scored.
Jake: If Jake beats Rendon or Jacob he will own the tie breaker over them both since he
has already beaten them once, with that being said if he wins out then he has the bye
(obviously). If he wins 1 game and Jacob loses 1 then that eliminates Jacob from getting
the bye, if he wins 2 of his 3 games and Rendon goes 2-1 in his last 3 games then Jake
will still get the bye (12-1 v. 11-2). But what will be interesting is if we get to week 13
and both Rendon and Jake have won their week 10 and 11 games. That will pit 12-0 Jake
v. 11-1 Rendon, and depending on how the total points go (and theyre close right now,
25.5 points) it looks like that matchup would force a winner take all for the bye.

AFC:
The AFC is in a different position than the NFC, there are only 3 spots and there are 4 teams that
are vying to get them. With every weeks matchup looking like it could go either way in this
division we could get to the last week and have a 3 way tie for 2 spots, it isnt likely, but its
most definitely possible. So here is how the AFC breaks down:

Courte: Courte is essentially in, at this point all he has to do is win one game and he is
in. The only way he would not make the playoffs is if he lost his remaining 3 games,
Brent won out and Courte finished with fewer points than Brent, which is unlikely
because he is 190.5 points ahead, which means that he is essentially in.
Bates: With 3 games left this year Bates only has a few things that he would have to do
in order to solidify a spot. 1 of those things would be beat Brent this week, if he beats
Brent this week then Bates is in, because then he would be 3 games ahead of Brent (with
the tie breaker) and only 2 games left. If he doesnt beat Brent then it gets a little trickier.
With a loss this week it will all depend on how Brads game with Chris goes, well get
into that next week if we have to. Win this week and youre in.
Brad: All that really matters is week 12 vs. Brent, if Brad wins that game then he is in, if
he doesnt then he needs to go 2-1 in the final 3 and maintain a higher total of points than
Brent to make it in the playoffs. If Brent loses 1 game then and Brad beats him then Brad
is in, even if Brad loses his other 2 games.
Brent: Brent needs some help when it comes to making the playoffs, he can make it if
Bates loses out and Brent wins out, he can make it if Courte loses out and Brent wins out
and outscores Courte by 190.5 points before the season is over. He can also make it if he
beats Brad and Brad loses out or if Brad doesnt lose out then Brent would need to go at
least 2-1 and Brad would need to go 1-2 and Brent would need to end the season with
more points than Brad. Truthfully week 12 vs. Brad is make or break week for Brent.
