Playoff Question

aageorgiou · Post by **aageorgiou** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 12:48 am

Looking at the schedule I see that the plyoffs are week 14,15 and 16. Does this mean the last week of the NFL season (week 17 with bye weeks) is not part of the schedule? One place in the rules it states the playoffs end at the final week of the season but week 16 appears to be listed as the final week.
Just wanted to clarify

Week 17 is a dead week for all NFFC leagues.

Let me ask another rookie question.
The rules state that, "Any team that finishes in the top 10 percent of the total number of teams that didn't finish first or second in their league will also advance to the playoffs as a wild card team. So if the NFFC finishes with 364 teams in 2007, the top 36 teams in total points will be guaranteed a playoff spot in the Championship Round."
So let's just hypothetically say that all of the top 36 teams were either 1st or 2nd in their leagues so there would be no wildcard qualifiers?

Ok so I am in 4th in points in our league and 48 overall, what would be the odds of us making it as a wilcard would you say?

depends Craig - are you past all your bye week issues?
Is your team getting stronger or weaker?

If the outlook is positive, there will be plenty of the teams above you fading over the next few weeks - just a question of how many you can pass on the way up.

Have Randy Moss on bye week 10 and Shockey this week and everyone else has been taken care of. My team is holding steady with no real appearance of getting stronger or weakening so I guess we are holding steady so to speak. I guess we just cross our fingers and hope for the best.
