Next week, Week 14, is the final week of the regular season. How quickly it ends!
Right now, Breesus is assured of finishing in top spot, and well deserved. Zim will finish in second place.
The General, Marcy and Farnsworth are all out of play-off contention. But there is still some damage to be done in Week 14, and Fantasy games continue into Week 15 and 16 as the bottom 6 teams vie for final positions.
I'm not entirely sure how the play-off rankings are determined when teams have even records. But consider this, both the Illuminators and Agent P are sitting on 7-6, and BB, Endless and Doof are only one game behind them.
If Agent P and the Lighties lose, and BB, Endless and Doof win, five teams will have 7-7 records. But only two can proceed. Who gets in?
I have no idea!
If it is simply the Points For/Against ratio, then Endless and Doof should get it as their ratios are better, low 100s compared to low 90s.
But, it may be based on who beat who. For example, I'm 2-0 with the Lighties, 1-1 with Endless and 0-1 against the others. What does that mean?
I don't know!
I could probably look it up, but it's more exciting this way.
The bottom three teams all play contenders and can cause serious damage:
The Farnsworths could return from the bar, set an awesome line-up and beat Agent P, giving the others a chance. Similarly, the Forces can take out the Lighties. Wouldn't that be something to discuss in the office, eh General?! Knocking the Illuminators out and letting, say, Endless in.
But Marcy can take out Endless, forcing her out of contention altogether.
As for BB and myself, we play Breesus and Zim respectively. Horror games, to be sure, but possibly the most meaningful games we will play all season.
Week 14 may well be the second most exciting week of the season, after the opener when everything was new, clean and hopeful.
