Which bad team(s) made the playoffs? Looks like all the top scoring teams made it, except yours? the giants fan division was basically a steaming pile of crap for most of the year. i understand your team scored enough points (tops by a slim margin) to be considered a contender but that doesn't take away from the fact that many solid teams with the same record were out of it due to my dominance in the wild card race. it looks like you lost head to head to most of the other top teams and i am by no means saying you don't deserve to be in the playoffs, again you scored lots of points, but i agree with newbie that no divisions or 6 playoff teams would have made the season more interesting down the stretch. This would only make sense if I didn't score "enough" points. It's quite subtle how you dismiss/lessen scoring the most posts (so far) by pointing out my HTH record with "top teams". What makes a team team a "top team" - total points or record? BTW, almost all the teams who were "snubbed" also lost to the top teams...

Total points scored means very little. Having a couple players blow up once in a while doesn't make a team. Consistency is, to me, a real indicator. It's very likely the top point scorers may also be consistent, but not always.
Also, I've been out of it for weeks and have not been putting forth the best. Often, a game on television meant, I wanted to watch a player I rostered and I gave away points this way. Next year, everyone needs a reason to be competitive each week.

Often, a game on television meant, I wanted to watch a player I rostered and I gave away points this way. Next year, everyone needs a reason to be competitive each week. Sure, consistency is most important. But having a better record may or may not be a function of per game point consistency as well. It's just as much a function of the points scored by one's competition. So is Ed Jrs team (or any of the playoff contenders) any better than mine? His record is, but his total points are not, nor are his opponents. Comments suggesting that the Giant's Fan division is trash imply that the leader of that division is unfairly being promoted to the playoffs over more deserving teams. Yet all those teams have no better records or points scored, and less points scored against them. They shouldn't be complaining.

It ended up turning out that you had the most points. Up until a few weeks ago it didn't look so good for the division you are in though.

But it makes the remainder of the division's record immaterial. Which is why I said: Rereading the thread, one would think my team was totally unjustified in making the playoffs, while others were completely getting shafted: Good luck to everybody in the playoffs!

What makes a team team a "top team" - total points or record? BTW, almost all the teams who were "snubbed" also lost to the top teams... negative. I wasn't subtly dismissing anything. I was trying to point out that had you been in a division where you would have played those top teams more than once, you might not be a playoff team. i would say record is the clear indicator of best team in a head to head league. total points can often be misleading as a team can go off 2-3 weeks and be fairly average the rest of the season (not saying that is you, don't get your panties in a wad) in the end, all you ahve to do is make the dance and i have a pretty good feeling youll end up winning the title... so you have that going for you :thumbup:

They tend to win. I still think total points and opponents' points scored are relevant in determining the quality of a team. Next year we can do "power" rankings or the like, where your weekly score is compared to every other team in the league. I bet the highest overall scorers would be at the top of the pack. I don't think I have a chance at the title, and suspect you don't think I do either.

I don't think I have a chance at the title, and suspect you don't think I do either. of course total points plays a roll but like i said, a team can have 2-3 monster weeks with like 170 points and then be a sub 100 point team the rest of the way and still probably rank pretty high in points scored. i would also agree that opponents points scored matters too. also you're wrong. I really do think your team has the best shot at the title. you're peaking at the right moment
