The SOS is sort of meaningless in the long run. The best teams will have the weakest and the worst will have the strongest because they didn't play themselves but everyone else has the same schedule except for week 16. How the Sphere ended up scheduled against the Assassins is beyond me but it should seal several stat titles for Sphere players this season.

Yeah, we drew the Lions. . . . not a bad draw for Week 16.

The only question in there is... the MB Bears in the West. I'd be thinking they're more like 9-7.

Thank goodness we beat RAL & Oklahoma. Those tiebreakers appear to be HUGE.
I think we were supposed to beat Omaha, because now, we'd have to beat a top 3 team to go 9-7. 8-8 here we come.

7.) Bears 9-7
8.) Austin Longhorns 8-8
9.) SF Stonecutters 8-8
10.) RAL 8-8
11.) Oklahoma 8-8
12.) Zephyrs 7-9

(I'm assuming none of these teams are going to lose to the Gangstaz, Beef, Tornado or K-Town)

At least I'm not bitter about our week 16 draw.

wrong. (responding to raiderfan...those 3 posts came fast )

the drillers are a good team with a nice record and have the best sos in the east. the west is different because the top teams haven't played each other yet. the first one of these games was yesterday, of course. the mavericks have the best sos in the west and although they lost tough games early they will be a tough team to beat in the playoffs.

it's just a measuring stick to judge the quality of your wins at this point in the season.

the ooc game is meaningless really. i think it should be open until after game 15 and then match you up with your equal from the other conference. 1v1, 2v2, etc... if they did this it would add some drama to the last game as playoff seedings would be on the line.

Looking at your schedule I agree with your assessment of 8-8. Looking good since you have the edge up on SF, RAL, and Oklahoma.

Your grand prize for all that hard work will be Sphere in Round 1

i agree on 8-8. it has them beating steel-heads because it has no data to compare the ooc games.

We had some personnel hangover issues from last season and just were not running on all cylinders those first games...I was actually surprised we managed to keep them as low/close (for the non-sphere games) as we did...heck with a touch of dumb luck we could've even had a win out of one of them.

Any playoff game is better than those worthless scrimmages.
Besides, the Sphere don't seem to play their best in the playoffs for some reason.

Steelheads, Care Bears, CBMB, and Rock stars are 4 losses. the one up in the air is Horns.

Not trying to flame, you guys beat us. However, from everything I've seen those 4 teams are better than Orlando

Bah we won round 1 in first year then lost to denton in round 2 and they went on to win it all. 2nd year we won round 1 and round 2 then lost to seminoles that won it all. Not sure how that relates to us not playing well in playoffs if you lose to the league champion. Obviously we would have preferred to win heh.

Steel heads, carebears, and cbmb are better. I'll beg to differ on the rockstars. And the Whorns are falling quicker then Brittney Spears.

Not the Whorns, the HORNS, and they're good.

Rockstars beat the Grizzlies 37-3, you guys lost to them.
You beat the Columbus Spartains 13-9, Rockstars beat them 44-0
You beat Chicago LMG 13-0, Rockstars beat them 37-0
You beat the West Bend Warlocks 13-12, they beat them 27-6.

Every common opponent, they've done better than you. I would say you're the underdog in that fight.
