Well, looks like we're gonna beat Mean Machine . . . let's not even worry about playing the actual game

And again, explanation is needed . . . .Cajun beats Mean Machine, and drops 3 spots?

Good thing we did not play the TiTs this week are we would have no chance.

Hmm we have beaten Barossa, but are below them? Seems a bit odd, but of course it's not a really big deal because it's only one spot.

Explanations:

- Cajun had an extraordinarily high BeatPower after Week 12. That suggests long, unbroken strings of Beatwins between them and lower teams. Some of those Beatwins were snarled up by Beatloops, thus giving CCC fewer teams that is had a path to. Its BeatPower tiebreaker fell, and so did it.

- As for the Gods, you have beaten Barossa, but Barossa beat PMD, who you lost to. Thus, it forms a Beatloop that eliminates that win from meaning anything. At the moment, it seems that the difference is mainly Barossa's slightly stronger schedule (they played WSI when you played PPC; they've already faced the 'Nites). It's pretty negligible.
