For the first time that I can remember, we have a TIE at the top of the Power Rankings this week. After an epic showdown this week, Corey and I are tied for the number one spot. I had the Algorithm check it a couple of times, and they’re sure the math checks out. You can see the Power Rankings below.
While we’re here, however, I thought this would be a good time for a yearly tradition in our league. That’s right, it’s “If the Season Ended Today Who Would Make the Playoffs?” Week! This is something I do every year to give us an idea of where we all stand and bring clarity to the emerging playoff bracket. There are five weeks left in the Fantasy Football regular season, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
Before we hop in, a reminder that all four division winners make the playoffs plus the best two other teams. Also, a quick reminder of the tie breaks in our league:
1. Record
2. Head to Head
3. Division Record
4. Points Scored.
Below is what the playoff bracket would be if the season ended today:
1. Kory
Bye
4. Chris
5. Corey
3. Nathan
6. Justin
Bye
2. Bryant
I would lose to whoever won between Nathan and Justin for sure.
Let’s take a peek at the other end of the spectrum, the WING ZONE. Last week, the zone got a little crowded. But after another week of games, things are coming more into focus. If the season ended today, SCOTT would get the wings. He and Kyle have the same number of wins, but ironically enough, Kyle’s one tie gives him a half-game lead over Scott. Isn’t that crazy?
Adam and Austin aren’t out of the woods, however. They actually play each other this week. It’s logical to project that whoever wins that game will probably be safe from the wings this year due to the head-to-head tie break. It may be the most impactful game of either of these teams’ seasons.
So, that’s where we are. A tie at the top of the Power Rankings and a tie keeping Kyle safe from lava meat. Below are this week’s Power Rankings. Enjoy.
