playoff race update!!! crazy week of results for the drama
Two quasi elimination games upcoming: JUCO vs ROME & (sort of but not techically) TOKYO vs LONDON
Alpha:
Buckhead - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
Reapers - +2, games against Blitzin, Rome, Buckhead. Best tiebreak (points allowed 156, next best alpha is Blitzin at 219.) A win against Blitzin means they go +2 on the Dots with two games to play and Reapers would own the h2h tiebreak. A new avenue has opened up for the Reapers, a Rome loss means a Reapers clinch unless the Yaks could make up a 136 point tiebreak. Still, tough games coming up and after losing to JUCO, things get tighter. Playoff-O-Meter: 88.5%
Blitzin - +1, games against Reapers, Buckhead, JUCO. no head to head tiebreak yet(split with Rome), second best Alpha points allowed (219). Winning one of their next three could do it (especially if it's against JUCO) but they'd really like 2 of 3 to be certain. Playoff-O-Meter: 75%
UP ONE SPOT -> JUCO - +1, games against Rome, CPU Bears, Blitzin. no head to head tiebreak yet but lost first match against Blitzin and Rome, third best lowest Alpha points allowed (226). Sniping one over the Reapers was huge for their chances, combined with Rome losing to Buckhead means they go a full game up. Defeating Rome means they go two up with two to play and a game vs the CPU bears. It's a win and in. Playoff-O-Meter: 75%
DOWN ONE SPOT -> Rome - -1, games against JUCO, Reapers, CPU bears. no head to head tiebreak yet (split with Blitzin) but crucially won the first match against JUCO. 290 points allowed which puts them squarely in last for the teams battling for the spots. With the poor tiebreak, the only sure way to the playoffs for Rome is winning the remainder of their games. Doing so would give them the h2h tiebreak over JUCO. Playoff-O-Meter: 25%
Beta:
Fish - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
Kline - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
Tokyo - 0, with games against London, Berlin, Kline. And so, they lost against Peewee and this race got a LOT more interesting. Losing to London means losing the h2h tiebreak and since London plays Berlin, they could no longer catch London. Win, and their far superior points allowed could carry them to the dance. Playoff-O-Meter: 50%
UP ONE SPOT -> Peewee - 0, with games against Kline, London and then the Fish. The combination of beating Tokyo and decent points allowed (342 vs 404 for London) means they're in decent shape. Not great, given their opponents and not having any direct h2h tiebreakers. They control their own destiny and that's all that matters right now. Playoff-O-Meter: 50%
DOWN ONE SPOT -> London - 0 with games against Tokyo, Peewee, Berlin. A guaranteed win vs Berlin on the way could be the decider, because all they have to do is beat Peewee and they'd be in due to head to head tiebreak. That's the only game that really matters for London but beating Tokyo could open up other paths as well. Playoff-O-Meter: 50%
