Its week 13 and none of us are ready for it to end. For two of us, the journey has ended but for a cool dozen, the fight continues. A little scheduling magic
gives to the two teams eliminated something very real to play for and something for the rest of us to enjoy:
Bottom 2 play for Toilet Bowl
Three 5-7 teams play three 8-4 teams
Remaining 6 teams play each other
3 playoff spots for 7 teams
There could be a total of three 7-6 teams all who make the playoffs or six 6-7 teams, two in the playoffs and four out.
Headlines for Week 13 Matchups:
Knocking off the Champ
Toilet Bowl Derby
Roomate Duel
Marriage Bowl
Redeeming the Rookie
Fight for a Winning Season
Keeping the Podcast in the Playoffs
What We Need:
Shermtanks
Verdict: In
Possible Seeds: #1-#3; Win and likely the top seed, lose and could fall to #3
Likely Opponent: Soaring Pigs
Notes: Has made the playoffs every year but once (2005 – Toilet Bowl…remember?); three straight winning season, three straight playoff appearances
Double G
Verdict: In
Possible Seeds: #1-#4
Likely Opponent: B’Day
Notes: First playoff appearance since 2005
New Jersey Jacobins
Verdict: In
Possible Seeds: #1-#5; win and wont be lower than #3
Likely Opponent: FBC
Notes: First playoff appearance and winning season since 2005
Nomads in the Deep
Verdict: In
Possible Seeds: #2-#7; win and won’t be lower than #4
Likely Opponent: Born
Notes: Fourth straight winning season, fifth straight appearance in playoffs
Born to Run My Mouth
Verdict: In
Possible Seeds: #2-#8; win and wont be lower than #5
Likely Opponent: Nomads
Notes: Second straight winning season and second straight playoff appearance
B’Day
Verdict: Win and In; if B’Day loses, FBC or Colts MUST lose AND B’Day MUST maintain point advantage over any other potential 6-7 teams: Colts (36.53),
Tools (67.12) Pigs (77.07), C3 (104.84), FBC (122.02) and fair trade (146.19)
Possible Seeds: #4-#11;
Likely Opponent: GG
Notes: If B’Day makes the playoffs it will be the first time since 2005 that they make the playoffs, and the first time since 2002 (!!) they finish the season
with a winning record.
Colt .45 Bandits
Verdict: Win and In; if Colts lose must maintain current point advantage over other potential 6-7 teams: Tools (30.59), Pigs (40.54) and C3 (68.31), FBC
(85.49), fair trade (109.66);the B’Day/fair game becomes very big if Colts lose – a fair victory, means that Colts will have to catch up to B’Day’s 6-7 point
total (36.53)
Possible Seeds: #4-#12; win and no lower than #7
Likely Opponent: Shermtanks
Notes: Best Scenario if Colts lose: B’Day wins, FBC loses and Colts maintain current point advantages over other 6-7 teams. If the Colts lose, will we lose
out on a Playoffs Podcast?
Fighting Blue Crabs
Verdict: Win and In; Lose and needs to overcome current point disadvantage of other potential 6-7 teams: B’Day (122.02), Colts (85.49), Tools (54.9),
Pigs (44.95), C3 (17.18) and maintain lead over fair (24.17)
Possible Seeds: #5-#12
Likely Opponent: NJJ
Notes: A loss will prevent FBC from their fourth straight winning season and likely preclude a fourth straight playoff appearance in franchise history
fair trade
Verdict: Win and In; Lose and needs to overcome current point disadvantage of other potential 6-7 teams: B’Day (146.19), Bandits (109.66), Tools
(79.07), Pigs (69.12), C3 (41.35), FBC (24.17)
Possible Seeds: #6-#12
Likely Opponent: NJJ
Notes: A win gives fair trade their first winning season in franchise history; a loss almost certainly eliminate fair trade from the playoffs.
Maryland Tools
Verdict: Lose and Out; Win AND Colts or FBC MUST lose and needs to overcome current point disadvantage over other potential 6-7 teams: B’Day
(67.12) and Colts (30.59) while maintaining current point advantage over other potential 6-7 teams: Pigs (9.95), C3 (37.73), FBC (54.9), fair trade (79.07)
Possible Seeds: #7-#12
Likely Opponent: Shermtanks
Notes: Needs B’Day to win and Colts and FBC to lose in order to secure a playoff spot. The Pigs current Thursday point total, puts them far ahead
meaning Tools best shot now is to overcome a 6-7 Colts point total.
Soaring Pigs
Verdict: Lose and Out; Win AND Colts or FBC MUST lose and needs to overcome current point disadvantage over other potential 6-7 teams: B’Day
(77.07), Colts (40.54), Tools (9.95) while maintaining current point advantage over other potential 6-7 teams: FBC (44.95), fair trade (69.12)
Possible Seeds: #7-#12
Likely Opponent: Shermtanks
Notes: The Pigs put themselves in amazing position coming out of Thanksgiving – it looks like they will overcome all point deficits they currently have and
all the Defending Champ needs now is a Colts or FBC loss to open the playoffs up to a 6-7 team. Only one defending ROFF(L) Champion has failed to
make the playoffs the following year (Nick in 2003)
Coffeeon3rd
Verdict: Lose and Out; win and FBC or Colts MUST lose AND C3 must overcome current point disadvantages of potential 6-7 teams: B’Day (104.84), Colts
(68.31), Tools (37.72), Pigs (27.77); AND maintain current point advantages over potential 6-7 teams: FBC (17.18), fair (41.35)
Possible Seeds: #7-#12
Likely Opponent: Shermtanks
Notes: Best scenario: B’Day wins, FBC, Tools, Pigs lose and C3 maintains current point advantage over FBC and fair

Possible End of Year Rank: #13-#14
