Only counted are wins and losses against teams still mathematically eligible for the playoffs. Head to head still counts, but doesn't carry as much weight as it did previously. More weight is given to your record vs. the possible playoff teams.


With their W over Idaho, Beantown staved off playoff elimination. They still need to win out and need some MAJOR help with 3 teams sitting at 7-6 and one at 6-7.

Biggest game in Week 13 in the West looks to be #4 Mighty and #6 Virginia, with the winning locking up a home playoff game.

Some other huge games with playoff implications are:
#1 Mentone Beach and #7 Saginaw
#3 Bakersfield and #5 Long Beach
#9 Dallas and #10 Steel City

WEST

1) 9-0 Mentone Beach Assault (-) W (Houston, Long Beach, Mighty, Steel City, Virginia, CCIA, Beantown, Bakersfield, Big Bear) L (NONE)
2) 8-1 Corpus Christi (-) W (Phoenix, Beantown, Saginaw, Mighty, Steel City, Bakersfield, Big Bear, Long Beach) L (Mentone Beach)
3) 6-2 Bakersfield Nanananas (-) W (Beantown, Virginia, , Saginaw, Mighty, Steel City, Big Bear) L (CCIA, Mentone Beach)
4) 6-3 Mighty Chihuahuas (-) W (Enghave, Saginaw, Steel City, Big Bear, Long Beach, Dallas) L (Mentone Beach, CCIA, Bakersfield)
5) 4-5 Long Beach Dub All-Stars (-) W (Virginia, Beantown, Saginaw, Steel City) L (Tennessee, Mentone Beach, Dallas, Mighty, Corpus Christi)
6) 4-4 Virginia George Washingtons (-) W (Boston, Dallas, Beantown, Saginaw) L (Bakersfield, Big Bear, Long Beach, Mentone)
7) 3-6 Saginaw Supernovas (-) W (Dirty, Big Bear, Dallas, Beantown) L (Mighty, Steel City, CCIA, Bakersfield, Long Beach, Virginia)
8) 3-7 Big Bear Avalanche (-) W (Dallas, Virginia, Steel City) L (St. Paul, Beantown, Saginaw, Mighty, CCIA, Bakersfield, Mentone Beach)
9) 2-6 Dallas Hitmen (-) W (Long Beach, Beantown) L (Louisiana St., Big Bear, Mentone Beach, Virginia, Saginaw, Mighty)
10) 1-6 Steel City Sentinels (+1) W (Saginaw) L (Mighty, Mentone Beach, CCIA, Bakersfield, Beantown, Long Beach)
11) 1-8 Beantown Bastards (-1) W (Big Bear) L (Sleepy Hollow, CCIA, Bakersfield, Long Beach, Dallas, Virginia, Mentone Beach, Saginaw)

EAST
With NJ Hitmen’s loss in Week 13, they are eliminated from the playoff hunt. With Texas going CPU, we’re going to estimate 3 losses to end the season and they are eliminated from the playoff hunt.

In Week 14, NJ Mobsters and LA Bicycle Clowns need W’s to stay mathematically alive for a playoff spot.

Big games in the East include:
#1 Tennessee and #11 LA Bicycle Clowns (elimination game for LA Bicycle Clowns)
#3 Enghave and #5 Dirty (L likely eliminates Dirty from home playoff consideration)
#6 St. Paul and #7 Phoenix
#8 Louisiana State and #10 Houston (likely playoff elimination game for either squad)

EAST

1) 8-0 Tennessee Fury (-) W (Long Beach, Dirty, Houston, Louisiana St., Enghave, Boston, NJ Mobsters, Phoenix) L (NONE)
2) 7-2 Boston Bears (-) W (Phoenix, LA Bicycle Clowns, St. Paul, Dirty, Louisiana St., NJ Mobsters, Sleepy Hollow) L (Virginia, Tennessee)
3) 5-3 Enghave Evolution(-) W (Sleepy Hollow, Houston, Phoenix, LA Bicycle Clowns, St. Paul) L (Mighty, NJ Mobsters, Tennessee)

I assume you mean with Texas going CPU -- The way it reads, it refers to the Hitmen.

I hope we can overcome this 9th place ranking you have us at. If we beat steel city than I think there's a great chance we are in the playiffs

GL to you guys as well. It's going to be a good game from the looks of it. Even if we were to come through with a win against you, we'd also have to take down the Mobsters to end the season (I'm assuming a loss to the Bears of Boston). I guess that's our playoff scenario.

Just set the "force 5 or more fumbles in the game and recover them all" setting in the AI to "yes" and you'll beat them, or at least come close. Or better yet, just try to draw the #8 playoff seed in the West. That's a virtual bye week for you.

I hear that. Enghave is going to be a tough hill for us to climb as well next week. They beat us 35-6 back in Season 6 before getting promoted, so I'm just hoping to better that margin.

In the playoff hunt, we're really hurt by Texas going CPU after they beat us, but before they played ya'll.

Yeah I don't really agree with the way GLB handles teams that quit mid-season. I'm sorry, but those players should have to finish the season with that particular team and shouldn't become open to free agency. Moreover, players shouldn't be allowed to sign contracts that end at weird points throughout the year. Every contract should end on day 40.

The way that it's done right now compromises the integrity of the league and for exactly the reason you stated. If we do end up making the playoffs and you don't, it would be nothing more than an injustice to you guys. Of course we'd take it...but it wouldn't feel right.

No one can possibly +1 agree with this more than me.

its all screwed up, and their unwillingness to fix it because their "mortages arer getting paid" is offensive. they need to institute a lateral promotion/relegation, so teams like mine will be able to play like leveld BBB teams, while keeping other BBB leagues available for gutted resets.
