You can check out the “Playoffs” tab on the myFantasyLeague site at any time to see how the seeds in PFFL would work out if the season ended today. Also, the old PFFL site has a page for the Division Race and Wild Card Race but tiebreakers are only mildly applied there (i.e., they are wrong).
But, I thought I’d add a little detail here.
If the playoffs started today, these would be your first round matchups:
(8) Sharp as a Bowling Ball vs (1) Post Mortem
(7) Camel Toe vs (2) SIAP
(6) Kramerica Industries vs (3) CSPJ
(5) Hedfullalicker vs (4) Double D
Changes from last week:
- Turd Ferguson went from 5-seed a week ago to out of the playoffs completely
- Taking Turd’s place is SaaBB
- Camel Toe, Kramerica and Hedfullalicker all benefited from Turd’s absence by moving up a seed each
Tiebreaker info:
- Hed gets the advantage over Kramerica due to a head-to-head win
- SaaBB leads Turd in the division tiebreak, and Camel Toe leads the Jedi Masters in their division tiebreaks
- Camel is a seed ahead of SaaBB due to total points
- SaaBB beat The Jedi Masters, earning them a playoff spot in that tiebreaker
If you’re looking for some historical perspective on playoff chances after 9 games, here’s what I can tell you:
- Teams with 7+ wins after 9 weeks have never missed the playoffs. This is great news for Post Mortem.
- Only once has a team with 6 wins missed the playoffs. Camel Toe accomplished that feat in 2006. The other 24 teams to sit with 6 wins after week 9 were much more fortunate, however. This is good news for SIAP and Double D.
- 10 5-4 teams have missed the playoffs, 33 5-4 teams have made it. This is pretty good news for CSPJ, Hedfullalicker and Kramerica.
- Only 15 of the 34 teams with 4 wins after 9 weeks have made the playoffs. That puts Camel, SaaBB, TJM and Turd’s chances at pretty close to 50%.
- There have only been 21 teams with 3 wins after 9 games, so the sample size here is a little smaller. The news is not completely bleak for the 4 3-6 teams in this year’s PFFL season, since 4 of those previous 21 did in fact make the postseason.
- Heck, 2 teams with only 2 wins after 9 weeks actually made the playoffs. No one is in that long-shot spot this year, however.
