As Supreme Court Justice of the MBBRL, I submit that using Intra-Division record to determine extra-division tie-breakers clearly violates the intent of the founding fathers (and is totally hare-brained).

The settings this year for the first tie-breaker is Intra-Division record; the second tie-breaker is total PF. Clearly Intra-Division record should be used to determine the representatives for each division for each seed. After that, ties across divisions should be decided by PF.

The Commissioner has the power to correct any deviations from this that may arise from an idiotic system.

I would be okay with this for sure.

Does the commissioner have the power to go back in time and not draft Ball, Martin, Davis, and Stafford? Maybe snake Foster, Murray, and Luck instead?

In case anyone missed it on the Random thread... Treff inspired me to splice together a video... took longer than I anticipated, but Chef & Treff like it...

And yes, that's is my voice (dubbed over the dentist's) via my cheesy computer built-it microphone...

So division winners (if tied) will be decided by division record. . Then PF. Wild card tie breaker shall be PF, disregarding intradivision record. . Got it, good to go.

Makes sense to me or at least good enough.

Although this puts me in a win the division or go home scenario, I think it is by far the fairest solution. ... with that I say come on Monkey go for three & TKO show some mercy on a guy who can never seem to pick the correct QB ..........

Guys this may sound crazy but should work if need to go to the extreme

what should are tiebreakers be

im sure WW can answer

well we determine who is in and if ESPN differs

no sweat lets say Fuzz should be in but Lefty is in instead

well Lefty trades all his players to Fuzz and Fuzz all his to Lefty

then Fuzz takes over Leftys team and renames it to that warm old Fuzzy thing..

problem solved....well sorta....

Either Will or myself can manually adjust the playoff brackets.. it'll be a simple fix

That may work in Quebec with that goofy metric system and French road signs... but down here in the States we speak Spanish.

That is an extreme solution.

Maybe Fuzzy and Joe will tie, so we can avoid all the tiebreaker nonsense.

 

[averagejoe]

I'd take a tie.

Hey, looked back at the grades that ESPN handed out on draft night. Well, if the same four seeds actually do make the playoffs, Fuzzies was the only team that graded well from ESPN.

tlance "C-"
Ram "C"
Fuzzies "A"
Joe "C"

 

[Barilko]

And I had to remake my team for it to be competitive. ESPN ranks are rank!

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

I have been remiss not mentioning how much I enjoy the write ups here and in the other threads.
thanks to Bandit, Treff and Tlance for baseball (and anyone else I may have overlooked). Every once and while I laugh out loud. I did that today when I read from Joe:

That was awesome, Joe.

Speaking of which, we should use these ESPN preseason rankings as tie breaker. I think Czar Wil got an 'A' for drafting the White Beers, so all I have to do is win this week and Team DilWuff is in!!!! :rollseyes:

Saw this and posted it for you Bandit:

If there's anything more iconic about Burt Reynolds than his mustache, it's the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am from "Smokey and the Bandit."
Now, Reynolds is selling just such a car. This one wasn't used in the film, but was a promotional vehicle for the movie and then given to Reynolds, according to the listing.
"She features a 400 cid Pontiac V-8 engine with just over 12,000 miles, a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission," the listing says. "This is an amazing opportunity to own what just might be the coolest car EVER!"
The Trans Am has a pre-auction estimate of $60,000 to $80,000, but with more than a week to go, bidding has already reached $70,000.

I think this is by far the best way to do it and nobody would know the original intentions of the tiebreaker than the Chief Justice himself.

Found this interesting, below is the list of teams and how many players they have left on their rosters that they actually drafted:

Sam - 7 (Kaepernick, Murray, Desean Jackson, Foster, Vincent Jackson, Witten, & Decker)

Tlance - 6 (Romo, Ingram, Demaryius Thomas, Dez, Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller)

Joe - 6 (Rodgers, Gio Bernard, Leveon Bell, Mike Wallace, Martellus Bennett, Trent Richardson)

Dilwuff - 6 (Jamaal Charles, Joique Bell, Randall Cobb, T.Y. Hilton, Gronk, Seahawks D)

Ram - 6 (Brees, Ellington, Emmanuel Sanders, Broncos D, Gostkowski, Vereen)

Barilko - 5 (Mccoy, Fred Jackson, Antonio Brown, Larry Fitzgerald, Terrance Williams)

Fuzzy - 5 (Luck, Megatron, Brandon Marshall, Dan Bailey, Julius Thomas)

Monkey - 5 (Steven Jackson, A.J. Green, Jimmy Graham, Reggie Wayne, Jay Cutler)

Bandit - 4 (Peyton Manning, Eddie Lacy, Greg Olsen, Sammy Watkins)

Lefty - 4 (Matt Ryan, Marshawn Lynch, Alshon Jeffery, Kelvin Benjamin)

TKO - 3 (Forte, Carlos Hyde, Frank Gore)

Treff - 2 (Chris Ivory, Jeremy Maclin)

Not sure you can deduce anything from this, other than we all do a shitload of maneuvering throughout the season considering the person with the most drafted players left on his roster still only has half of his draft picks.
