I was getting curious so I threw together a table with standings as best as I could figure. I know it's not very pretty, but hopefully it's better than nothing.

Let me know if corrections are needed.

... continued

Indy 9-8 with 7-5 CONF record
Raiders 9-8, 7-5
Miami 9-8, 6-6
Balt 9-8, 6-6

Again, the only way to overcome the superior CONF record of INDY & RAIDERS is by Head-to-Head victory over both.

Neither BALT nor Miami has done that.
In fact, Raiders have beaten Indy, Miami, & BALT (all 3).

So, the above is a 2-way tie:
Indy 9-8, 7-5
Raiders 9-8, 7-5

Raiders win the tiebreaker due to their victory over Indy.

[campaignPete R-CT]

NFC

PHIL beat Saints
SF beat PHIL

3-way tie:
PHIL 9-8, 7-5 CONF
SAINTS 9-8, 7-5
SF 9-8, 6-6

Phil is #6 due to head-to-head over Saints (really a 2-way tie)
Saints are #7 due to Conf record better than SF

Damn, is that real? I had no idea, thanks for doing that, I feel good now!

Doing my Bungal Dance!

Thanks to everyone who played, here and in the Yahoo group.

And thanks Impy!

[mmichaels1970]

You’re hired!

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Was it you or Impy who was doing the tally posts? I know he’s got his hands full with his wife’s accident. I thought I saw you posting them earlier. Happy to help with only one week left to go. Not sure what we do for the playoffs. Thoughts, comments, ideas.

[mmichaels1970]

I was posting the cumulative tables. But I always wait for Impy to post the results for the week. Then I just simply paste them into an excel sheet and convert it to html. It’s gotta be a pain to have to go through and score everybody every week.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Going with Chiefs & Cowboys on SAT

Hope they both lose, but don’t like longshot picks

[Impy]

I’m so off the ball and behind, if your figures for the last 5 weeks are accurate that’s a BIG help, thank you. I’ll verify them as soon as I can.
