Three weeks to go....

I was interested to see the strength of schedule for the remaining three matchups. I have compiled each teams remaining opponents records to formulate a magically number. I will then come up with predictions based on these numbers to what I think the seedings will be for the playoffs.

It looks like the Beaners have the toughest schedule for the remainder of the season. The Pickle Weasels have the easiest schedule by far. The look to move up in the standings. Here are my predictions for the final standings. The Beaners made the biggest drop (dropping two spots) while the Pickle Weasels made the biggest jump (up two spots). This should make for an interesting three weeks.

1) Full Flanull
2) Poppers
3) Pickle Weasels
4) FKAky
5) Beaners
6) Box Chowers
7) Utility Men
8) Heaters
9) Diggleturb
10) Slumpbusters

The battle for the last spot could be determined on the final week as Calvin and Dustin square off against each other. That should make for an interesting matchup.

Nice job Kelley.

Its definitely tight as we go down the stretch.

Jim has a tough go, but he also controls his destiny more than any of the top teams.

Kelley said...

If Jim could beat both you and Andy that would be huge...Highly unlikely but anything can happen. I guess that is why we plan the games.

Wow, I think you have more faith in my team than I do :)
