Under the current system, the chances are pretty remote of a Top 10 team not making the playoffs. Gordon, have you worked out the permutations yet? i can't talk about it. i've been asked to "stop mentioning" it. sorry.

Gordon, I'll make a deal with you. I'll go for bidding on draft spots, if we have only $100 of bidding dollars....Are you still interested?

I like playing matchups, tinkering with the starting lineup and free agent pickups to a certain extent. Knowing exactly how many points you need from your RB on MNF is intriguing. let's try a make-shift cost benefit analysis...sorry, i know i'll forget some stuff, so please add as you see fit. thanks.

Discussion point: H2H regular season format

Benefit(s):
1. old-school. always has been this way. simple format for everyone to understand
2. Knowing exactly how many points you need from your RB on MNF is intriguing

Costs:
1. Teams fall victim to scheduling snafus
2. Dead teams have an effect on league championships

MY OPINION: Having H2H best record SOLELY determine each league champion is inefficient. The league winner could very likley be there by LUCK (scheduling snafus & dead teams).

inefficient
1. a. Lacking the ability or skill to perform effectively; b. Not producing the intended result; ineffective

2. Wasteful of time, energy, or materials

Bidding on spots has to be a risk-reward thing. In Baseball you need so many more players, I think $1000 is good. In football, if you want to bid on a spot, you know it is going to put you behind the eight ball if you leave yourself with no money. With $100 you need to think, with a $1000, You bid 950 you still have plenty left to play. Just look at how much money owners have left right now.

Just look at how much money owners have left right now. well then you should embrace bidding on draft slots. you can bid $950 on the draft slot of your liking and still have $50 to make your FA pick-ups throughout the year.

No, I don't. I don't agree. I think $1000 is too much. I think 95% of the pick ups could be had for $1.
