Five teams have now locked up playoff spots, and four are definitely out. That leaves three playoff spots still in play for 5 teams. On top of that, just about every tiebreak scenario in week 14 could come down to total points, which should make the end of the regular season pretty interesting.

Week 13 Highlights

DDT now leads SIAP 7-3 all-time after completing the season division sweep.
Double D owns a 7-2 advantage over Kramerica after splitting their season series.
SaaBB locked up the #2 seed in the playoffs with a win over TKD, extending their series lead to 9-5.
Hedfullalicker handed Post Mortem its first division loss of the season, earning a season split in their matchup and eating into PM’s overall matchup lead of 12-6.
The Hip earned a season split of its division series with Turd Ferguson but still trails the all-time matchup 8-5.
The Jedi Masters continued their dominance over Camel Toe, winning their third meeting in three tries. In those three games, they have outscored CT, 385.31-200.06.
WBM beat CSPJ in a squeaker, securing a season series split, and extending their career series lead to 5-2-1, but knocking both teams out of the playoffs.

Postseason Races

East:This division race has become much simpler. If Tappa Kegga Day wins in week 14, the division is theirs. If TKD loses, and Kramerica wins, then Kramerica wins the division in the last week of the season for the second straight year. If TKD loses and Kramerica loses to DDT, the division crown still belongs to TKD based on a tiebreaker advantage over KI and DDT in that three-way scenario.

Central: Sharp as a Bowling Ball has won the division

West: Post Mortem has won the division

Wild Card: Things are interesting here, and I could be wrong, but here’s what I’m pretty sure of:

In with a win: DDT and Turd Ferguson. 8 wins gets you mathematically in in 2008.

MUST win and get help: The Jedi Masters. The Jedis have one scenario that gets them into the postseason: Jedis beat CSPJ, SIAP loses to TKD and The Hip loses to Hedfullalicker. This would create a three-way tie between TJM, The Hip and SIAP. Since they did not all face each other, it would come down to total points, where the Jedis have a huge advantage. A win by either The Hip or SIAP and the Jedis are toast.

Probably in, but should focus on winning to avoid this scenario: Duany Duany Tanning. DDT has one scenario which would put them in a tiebreaker situation that they could lose. If DDT loses, Turd loses, and SIAP and The Hip both win, all four of those teams would be 7-7. DDT would lead SIAP based on a season sweep, but in the next step, vs The Hip and Turd, The Hip would likely move into the playoffs on points, and Turd currently leads DDT by 9 points. If DDT can make up that 9 this week, they would get in in this scenario, if not, The Hip and Turd would be in. This scenario is obviously pretty bad for SIAP too.

Another team probably in, but is better off just winning: Turd Ferguson. In addition to potentially being involved in that tiebreaker with DDT, a Turd loss combined with wins by The Hip and SIAP would create a three-way tie even if DDT wins their game. In this three-way tie, Turd vs The Hip in the West would come to points, and Turd currently trails The Hip by 32. If they don’t make that up, either The Hip or SIAP gets the final spot (SIAP leads The Hip by 28)

If one wins and the other loses: The Hip and SIAP hold a lot of control over the final playoff spots. If one of the two wins and the other loses this week, then things are clear, the winner is in, the loser is out.

Key tiebreaker considerations:

SIAP currently leads The Hip by 28 points
SIAP currently leads Turd Ferguson by 60 points
The Hip currently leads Turd Ferguson by 32 points
Turd Ferguson currently leads DDT by 9 points
The Jedis beat everyone in points tiebreakers
Winning Beer Money loses to everyone in points tiebreakers (which is why they’re out despite being able to partake in some 6-8 tie madness)
The Hip beat DDT head-to-head and DDT beat SIAP head-to-head

I’m not even considering trying to figure out all the wild card seed implications…

IN: Post Mortem, Sharp as a Bowling Ball, Tappa Kegga Day, Kramerica, Hedfullalicker
OUT: Camel Toe, Double D, CSPJ, Winning Beer Money

Record Watch

DDT hit the 10,000 regular season point milestone this week. It took them 111 games, tying Post Mortem as the fastest two teams to this mark.
WBM’s 53.01 points is the 8th lowest point total in a winning effort
The Jedi Masters’ record 13 wins in a season is now safe
Camel Toe’s 11 losses ties them for third most ever
Hedfullalicker secured their 15th high point week all-time

Season High Points

The Jedi Masters soared back into the season high points race lead this week, in what is, in all likelihood, a three-team race now:

The Jedi Masters – 1319.21
Hedfullalicker – 1296.82 (22.39 PB)
Sharp as a Bowling Ball – 1294.66 (24.55 PB)

Season High Points Against

Camel Toe did the Jedis no favors scoring so low this week while Post Mortem’s 100+ point total helped Hedfull. Interestinly, the Jedis face CSPJ this week, so those two teams are in position to help each other, with the loser being in the best position.
