Who wants Jordy Nelson, Calvin Johnson, or Josh Gordon?

I NEED A RB, DAMNIT!

I can package one of those WRs with Ryan Matthews for a top RB

heh, I'm probably going to be done in and miss the playoffs because I had poor bye week depth, go team!

If Pickle Pounders wins in week 13, and I win in week 13, he will win the division based on his division record. He'll be 3-2 and I'll be 2-2.

How is that even fair? :argh:

Division wins is probably not the best way to break record ties. Should we switch to points for for next season?

Even though it looks like I'll survive my bye week hell that lasted 3 weeks and back in to the playoffs after sitting in first almost the whole season, I'd still say next season let's go to points because it looks like a few teams who would be in won't get in under that format.

my 2 cents.

No. Division play is v. important, just like it is in the actual NFL.

poo poo like this happens all the time in fantasy, but switching to points is not a good solution, especially with the later weeks and reverse waiver wire/injuries etc.

Other alternatives: switch to Free Agent Bidding (more fair for Waivers) or have a wildcard game type of thing (if you can even do that on Yahoo)

I believe making the playoffs should be awarded to the better teams, not to teams who have lucked out... to some extent.

If we wanted to award the better teams without giving everyone a shot we would remove the divisions and we could even give a percentage of the pot to whoever has the most regular season points (like we do in another league I play in).

On the other hand, division record for tiebreaker relies too much on luck and gives the weaker teams too much of a chance to win.

E: It bears repeating: How silly is it that Pickle Pounders wins the division because his schedule had 1 more division game than mine?

I always thought divisions in fantasy football were silly. Like you said, they let worse teams in, simply for getting lucky with their schedule/division. I don't even like it in the NFL, but at least in the NFL it creates rivals and storylines, and good television. As far as I'm concerned nothing should matter in fantasy besides H2H record and points scored as a tiebreaker.

I like divisions cause it makes certain games more important than others and creates rivalries. :colbert:

A similar thing happened to me last year. I hate division record as a tiebreaker. It hosed me over last year even though tied for 1st with best record and 2nd overall most points. Take a look at the image from last year; red numbers are playoff seeding.

EDIT: You can't have divisional record as the tiebreaker if the same amount of games aren't being played. It is unfair.

To be fair, I have the second highest points in the league and am sitting at 6-6. Luck plays a big factor into things with fantasy football.

For what it is worth, this league is like one of 10 I'm in and at least 6 of them have people whining about divisions. Fantasy football is like 90% luck and variance, 10% management and draft.

I don't see a need to change anything :shrug: and I do like inter-division play since it does create rivalries (oh poo poo, playing THIS guy again) etc.

Money should be coming your way soon enough. I'm just going to wait until we clear stat corrections deadline. If you don't hear from me for a couple of days it's probably because my wife has gone into labor.

Also, someone should double-check the weekly winners. Remember that it's only for the regular season (I forgot to add that part to the OP, but this is how we did it last year)! Dubious I only see you win most points once. :ohdear:

I'll be sending invitations early next year so we have time to discuss the few issues that came up this year. If you haven't responded ~6 weeks before our draft, you're out of luck, son!

Happy holidays to y'all! You can now stop caring about your Fantasy Football mans and watch your favorite team tank for the #1 draft pick or whatever.
