Week 12 Roundup

So --- welcome to possibly the most boring week 13 in league history.  Here are the only playoff scenarios worth discussing:

Grahams, AirMatt, Ninjas: Grahams clinch the #1 seed (and a first-round bye) with a win.  They also clinch a first-round bye with a loss if either of the other teams also lose.  AirMatt also clinches a bye with a win, or with a loss and a Ninjas loss.  And he can clinch the #1 seed with a win and a Grahams loss.  And so, logically, the Ninjas need a win and a loss for one of the other teams to clinch a first-round bye.

And again --- THREE 10-2 teams?  Are you kidding me?!?  No other team is above .500, just because the three of us have scooped up all of the wins!

Marauders, Harbaughs, Apparent, River Horses, Crusaders: River Horses and Crusaders are each out with a loss, and even with a win they need help.  Marauders, Harbaughs and Air Apparent are all in with a win, and may still make it with a loss.

Thanks to the Kubicek rule, the possible permutations of various win/loss scenarios are too many to contemplate, so I won't.

Suspended Atomnation, Los Diablos, Screaming Eagles: Okay, I think I got this.

If Los Diablos beat Screaming Eagles, then Screaming Eagles get a bye to the bottom four with Levi.

If Screaming Eagles beat Los Diablos AND Adam beats Matt (oh please, Adam, beat Matt!), then the #11 seed is determined as follows.  If Screaming Eagles win by MORE than 36.9 points, then Los Diablos are the #11 seed.  This is the outcome I'm hoping for, because it would mean that Kubicek gets the #11 seed hoist upon him by his own stupid petard of a rule change.  If Screaming Eagles win by 36.9 points or less, then Screaming Eagles are the #11 seed.

And finally, if Screaming Eagles beat Los Diablos AND Adam loses, then Adam takes the #11 seed.

Leviathans: Have earned the #12 seed, no matter what happens.
