Week 14 matchups

  • The Super Team vs King Kommish Klap
  • FSB vs No(ah)
  • Not Fine vs RAMBO
  • AJ, JJ & The Other Guys vs Lace em up!
  • August Rush vs Ring, Ring
  • Daddy Warbucks vs The Show

2. Clinched & Eliminated

🔒 Clinched Playoff Berths

  • FSB (10–3) – In. Massive PF lead. Heavy favorite for the 1-seed.
    • #1 seed unless:
      • FSB loses and King wins, or
      • King outscores FSB by ~150+ in Week 14 in any record tie.
  • King (10–3) – In. Locked into a top-2 seed and a bye.
    • Steals the #1 seed if:
      • King wins and FSB loses, or
      • Both win/lose and King out-scores FSB by ~150+ in Week 14 (aka “FSB forgets to set a lineup week”).
  • Ring, Ring (8–5) – In. Record floor of 8–6 beats or ties everyone chasing.
    • Can still get leap-frogged to the 4-seed if Ring loses and The Super Team wins (they’d both be 8–6 and Super has more PF).

☠️ Mathematically Eliminated

These teams can’t get to 7 wins, so they cannot catch the playoff bubble:

  • August Rush (5–8)
  • Not Fine. (5–8)
  • No(ah) (4–9)
  • Lace em up! (4–9)

They’re now playing for the great honor of not running a half marathon.

3. The Bubble – 3 Spots for 5 Teams

The remaining playoff drama is between:

  • Daddy Warbucks (7–6)
  • The Super Team (7–6)
  • AJ, JJ & The Other Guys (6–7)
  • RAMBO (6–7)
  • The Show (6–7)

Three of these five will be the 4, 5, and 6 seeds.

Key Week 14 games – It really is shaping up to be a rivalry week.

  • The Super Team vs King Kommish Klap (The Emperor of Edmond)
    • Childhood friends, college roommates, best men in each other wedding. Let’s see who becomes the Emperor of Edmond.
  • Daddy Warbucks vs The Show (head-to-head elimination game)
    • grab your popcorn because we all want to see if the “The Show” gets it’s final season of if the whole catalog ends up on Tubi.
  • AJ, JJ & The Other Guys vs Lace em up (A Skirmish North of the River)
    • Who will reign supreme north of the wall?
  • RAMBO vs Not Fine (The Battle of Best Friends)
    • Brothers in Christ but who will be Cain and who will be Able?

4. Team-by-Team Scenarios

🧨 The Super Team (7–6, 1762.46 PF)

  • With a WIN vs King Kommish Klap (8–6):
    • 100% in. Can even jump to the 3-seed if Ring loses.
  • With a LOSS (7–7):
    • Still in almost every sane world.
    • You currently have more PF than every bubble team except RAMBO, and they’re only +22 on you.
    • For you to be pushed out, you’d need:
      • To lose, and
      • RAMBO, Daddy Warbucks, AJ, JJ & The Other Guys, and The Show all to finish 7–7, and
      • At least three of them to somehow outscore you, including:
        • Daddy Warbucks by 110+,
        • AJ, JJ, & The Other guys by 163+,
        • The Show by 246+ in Week 14 alone.

Practical read:
You’re “virtual lock” status. Think 99%+ odds. A win vs King Kommish is just insurance.

🧨 Daddy Warbucks (7–6, 1652.18 PF)

  • With a WIN vs The Show (8–6):
    • Instant playoff berth; likely 4-seed.
  • With a LOSS (7–7):
    • Then Show also finishes 7–7. Daddy Warbucks has:
      • +53 PF on AJ
      • +136 PF on Show
    So for Daddy to miss, we’d need:
    • Daddy Warbucks loss, plus
    • AJ and The Show wins, plus
    • Both AJ and Show outscore Daddy Warbucks by 50–140 points each.

Practical read:
Also a near-lock. Needs a very ugly low-score loss and nuclear games from AJ, JJ & The Other Guys and The Show to get bounced from the post season.

🧨 RAMBO (6–7, 1784.94 PF)

  • Has the most PF in the bubble and plays Not Fine (5–8).
  • Has lost lost 7 games in a row.
  • With a WIN (7–7):
    • Very strong chance in, because he beats everyone in PF and will tie or beat most in record.
    • Under neutral “coin-flip” assumptions for all relevant games, RAMBO makes the playoffs in roughly 60–65% of outcomes.
  • With a LOSS (6–8):
    • Dead. No 6–8 team is getting in.

Practical read:
This is the true “control your destiny” team. Win and your odds are great; lose and it could be training season.

🧨 AJ, JJ, & The Other Guys (6–7, 1599.48 PF)

  • Plays Lace em up! (4–9) in Week 14.
  • With a LOSS (6–8):
    • Eliminated.
  • With a WIN (7–7):
    • Now lives in the tie-breaker world.
    • AJ trails Daddy Warbucks by ~53 PF and The Super Team by ~163 PF.
    • To pass both, he needs:
      • A high score himself, and
      • One of them to really stink it up.
  • Rough math with 50/50 game outcomes and current PF gaps:
    → AJ makes it in about 25% of scenarios.

Practical read:
AJ, JJ, & The Other Guys needs a win and then must pray that the points don’t come for The Super Team (spoiler: they will, thx De’Von).

🧨 The Show (6–7, 1516.23 PF)

  • Plays Daddy Warbucks (7–6) head-to-head.
  • With a LOSS (6–8):
    • Eliminated.
  • With a WIN (7–7): Drags Daddy Warbucks back to 7–7 with him, but: The Show trails:
    • The Super Team by ~246 PF
    • Rambo by ~269 PF
    • Daddy warbucks by ~136 PF
    • AJ, JJ, and The Other Guys by ~83 PF
    • Even after a win, he needs:
      • Someone in the bubble crowd to lose, and
      • A massive PF explosion by his crummy team to climb several places.
  • Under simple coin-flip assumptions and current PF:
    → The Show sneaks in if that coin lands on it’s side.

Practical read:
Firmly in “needs help from a professional if he actual thinks there’s a chance” territory.

5. Rough Playoff Odds

Treating each Week 14 game as a 50/50 coin flip and assuming PF order mostly holds:

  • FSB: 100% in, ~80–90% to take the #1 seed
  • King: 100% in, ~10–20% shot at #1, locked bye
  • Ring, Ring: 100% in (seed 3–4)
  • The Super Team: ~99%+ to make playoffs
  • Daddy Warbucks: ~95–99% to make playoffs
  • RAMBO: ~60–65%
  • AJ, JJ: ~25%
  • The Show: ~10–15%
  • Everyone else: 0% chance of making the playoffs
    • 100% chance of tight buttholes as the Toilet Bowl commences.

6. Ridiculous but Technically Possible Edge Cases (Interdimensional Cable Part 3)

Because it’s Sleeper and chaos is fun:

  1. The “Anti-2 Wins a week” tragedy
    • AJ, JJ, and The Other Guys drops 255 in Week 14.
    • The Super Team scores 80, Daddy Warbucks 75, The Show 230, Rambo 50.
    • AJ, JJ, & The Other Guys ends the year as top-3 in PF, but a weird 5-way record tie plus other wins still park him in 7th.
    • He spends the offseason screenshotting “Points For” and sending them in the group chat every Monday.
  2. The War Disaster
    • Daddy Warbucks starts three guys on bye “for psychological warfare.”
    • The Show goes nuclear for 210 points. Rating are as high as ever, gets renewed and pickup by major broadcaster.
    • Daddy Warbucks finishes 7–7 but loses PF tie-breakers to AJ, JJ & The Other Guys and The Show by a handful of points…
      Only top-4 in record but somehow misses the playoffs.
      (Mathematically possible, emotionally devastating.)
  3. The King Rightfully Takes What’s His – the 1-Seed
    • FSB has a bad week and puts up 70 in a trap game vs No(ah). *Insert flood joke here*
    • King Kommish hangs 240 on The Super Team in some Monangai/Rodriguez ass-back fever dream.
    • The 170-point swing flips the PF tiebreak, King snags the #1 seed, FSB fans file a protest with the league office about “defensive points not counting.”
  4. The “Everyone Goes 7–7” Apocalypse
    • The Super Team loses, Daddy Warbucks loses, Rambo wins, AJ, JJ & The Other Guys wins, The Show wins.
    • You end the year with FIVE teams at 7–7.
    • Sleeper’s PF tiebreak decides everything, and the entire league suddenly becomes very invested in stat corrections from Week 3.
  5. Lace em up & No(ah), Agents of Chaos
    • Lace em up and No(ah) both win while eliminated.
    • In doing so they knock AJ, JJ & The Other Guys and Rambo out, accidentally locking in the most boring chalk bracket possible.
    • They immediately claim they “meant to do that” and give each other super sick high fives. Cool guys.
