TKP FANTASY FOOTBALL - WEEK 12

Sorry I skipped last week. I was drunk on Turkey.

Just a reminder - I went and changed up the ranking formulas on you (since they don't actually matter, I figured nobody would care). I just realized that the Overall Rank is an average of three scores of where you rank in the league (Power Ranking Rank, Standings Rank, and Total Points Scored Rank) and one of an average stat (Weekly Breakdown). So I took the average weekly breakdown and ranked everyone 1-10 in their league. How I'm saying it probably doesn't make a ton of sense, but I trust that you're all intelligent enough to figure it out. Basically now, your Overall Rank is the average of where you stand in your league in each individual ranking.

Here's the link to the power rankings spreadsheet (filterable by league).

Color codes:
Dark green: clinched playoff spot
Light green: likely playoff team
Orange: still alive in the playoff hunt
Red: eliminated from playoff contention

An explanation of rankings:
Overall Rank: Average rank of the four ranks below (from 1-10/12, depending on your league size, with 1 being the best).
Power Rating Rank: Rank of the Power Rating, a weighted ranking stat that I found on the internet dot com. It is comprised of a team's total points (60%), average points (20%), max points (10%) and min points (10%).
Standings Rank: Rank of the team's W-L record
Weekly Breakdown Rank: Overall Rank of the average Weekly Breakdown; the Weekly Breakdown is a stat that ranks how many points a team scored in each week compared to the rest of their league.
Total Points Scored Rank: Rank of a team's total points scored over the span of the season

Lots of changes to the top 10 this week. Welcome TD's and DD's (3rd), Dude Your'e Getting Odell (t-4th), To Hover is Divine (t-7th). Sorry to Team H (5th two weeks ago), Pastor of Muppets (t-6th two weeks ago) and Team daniballsdeep (t-9th two weeks ago) for dropping out of the top 10.

I'm breaking ties by your record, and when you're still tied, I'll break them by your Weekly Breakdown rank (since Power Rating and Total Points contain league-specific scoring in them).

1. Enter Sandman (Danny Coale Conference, Overall Rank: 1.00, last week #1(t))
2. Catticus' Finches (Vincent and Nina Fuller Conference, Overall Rank: 1.00, last week #6(t))

Bud Foster Conference
Going into the last week, there are still no teams who have clinched a playoff spot. Things could get interesting with the Vindictive Blitzes vs. Gotta Heal, Jamaal! matchup this week, with the loser potentially falling out of a playoff spot (if Hashtag GoACC wins and has a big scoring week, that is). Alternatively, losses by Gotta Heal, Jamaal! and Hashtag GoACC and a win by Team H would all but certainly send the latter to the playoffs, as they already have the points scored tiebreak. GET YOUR POPCORN READY!

Current Playoff Teams:
TD's an DD's (8-4)
Team Needs a Name (8-4)
Vindictive Blitzes (8-4)
Gotta Heal, Jamaal! (7-5)

Still Alive:
Hashtag GoACC (7-5)
Team H (6-6)

Souvlaki Football Graveyard:
Denied Pussy Touchdowns (5-5)
Kuhn on the Cobb (5-5)
Dork Magic (5-5)
Bud's D (4-6)
Take It To The Facyson (3-7)
Carolina Sex Panthers (3-7)

Frank Beamer Conference
Lots of fun going on here! A statement win by yours truly over Team Koma made the playoff picture a lot more interesting going into the final week. Jim DrunkOnMillers faces off against Doges Plural in a game that may matter a lot, but may not matter at all, as I face 2-10 Team Weiss and Team Koma faces 2-10 Real Diehls. Since JimDrunkOnMillers is 59.2 points behind me in total points, he needs me to lose.

Current Playoff Teams:
Team Daniballsdeep (10-2) - CLINCHED
CHIP CHIP CHIPadelphia (9-3) - CLINCHED
Team Koma (8-4)
Centaurrian Gray (7-5)

Still Alive:
Jim DrunkOnMillers (7-5)
Doges Plural (6-6)

Souvlaki Football Graveyard:
Captain Kirk (5-7)
Treadmill Horses (4-8)
Real Diehls (2-10)
Team Weiss (2-10)

Danny Coale Conference
Eight of the ten teams are still technically alive. Hokie Fireman needs a win over 6-6 Coale Drogo this week, as they'd be leapfrogged by three of the teams currently behind them if they had the same record. Of the teams still in the hunt, only the Tobacco Road Infiltrators have an easy matchup, facing off against 2-10 Finkle is Einhorn, who has scored an average of only 80.7 points per week over the last four weeks. Hokie Stuck in Russia has a sneaky tough matchup against 4-8 the jhnbrynt, as the latter is fifth in the league in scoring despite the lousy record.

Current Playoff Teams:
Enter Sandman (9-3) - CLINCHED
Highty Tighty Mavericks (8-4) - CLINCHED
Hokie Fireman (7-5)
Tobacco Road Infiltrators (6-6)

Still Alive:
Coale Drogo (6-6)
NOVA More Cowbell (6-6)
Chalupa Batman (6-6)
Hokie Stuck in Russia (6-6)

Souvlaki Football Graveyard:
The jhnbrynt (4-8)
Finkle is Einhorn (2-10)

Vincent and Nina Fuller Conference
We have little clarity here, with Catticus' Finches and To Hover is Divine locking up playoff spots but eight of the ten other teams still in the hunt for the last two spots. Bring Back CJ has a fairly easy matchup this week facing off against kicaboo jooce's (who have averaged only 79.45 points over the last four weeks) while Team Old Hokie gets Hokie Bird, who has just 72.75 points per week over the same span. No team is clearly ahead of the pack in the points tiebreaker (although Pastor of Muppets and Old Warped Gashole are the leaders in the clubhouse), so this should be a crazy week. ANARCHY!

Current Playoff Teams:
Catticus' Finches (10-2) - CLINCHED
To Hover is Divine (9-3) - CLINCHED
Old Warped Gashole (7-5)
Pastor of Muppets (6-6)

Still Alive:
TDs 'n Beer (6-6)
Bring Back CJ (6-6)
Team Old Hokie (6-6)
Team Simmons (5-7)
Gettin' Lucky at the Hilton (5-7)
Team Carter (5-7)

Souvlaki Football Graveyard:
Hokie Bird (4-8)
kickaboo jooce's (3-9)

Sam Rogers Conference
Things have gotten a lot clearer here, as two weeks ago 60% of the league was in the hunt for first place. 12 Straight are trying their best to reach 12 straight wins, with a 7 game streak going on now. Taste the DwayneBowe needs to beat Dude You're Getting Odell for a shot at the playoffs, but even if they do, they'll still need another 8-4 team to lose, as Odell has over 100 more points than Dwayne Bowe (almost as much as in real life, where Odell has 151.7 more points than Bowe). While that's possible, I wouldn't bet on it.

Current Playoff Teams:
12 Straight (9-3) - CLINCHED
Dude You're Getting Odell (8-4)
Party Like a Gronk Star (8-4)
Dirty Birds (8-4)

Still Alive:
Taste the DwayneBowe (7-5)

Souvlaki Football Graveyard:
Team Suck a Ditka (6-6)
Cartoons Plural (4-8)
Fuller House of Pain (4-8)
Nihlist Marmots (3-9)
Glass Jaw Geno (3-9)
