my dream playoff run would have me beating coldblooded, bigzep and shawnhann, and not necessarily in that order.

and to the 3 said teams, it would be in your best interest to lose before facing me if at all possible. i have a diabolical plan of devestation planned for each of you should the opportunity arise. i only wish DM were in the playoffs as well so i could obliterate him one more time... for old times sake! but i suppose that can wait until madden. my only regret is that we aren't in the same division... unless i were to mix up the divisions! WHOOOA!

 

[Zep]

What time will the schedules be out?

I have my Uncle's viewing tomarrow so playing is gonna be tough mentally. (if selected)

 

[vumpler]

KOnex above me!? Wow.

Ya no shit and above me and I beat him

Uhg. Sorry to hear that bro. :/ Take your aggression out on whoever in the playoffs/or madden

 

[Lonestar]

Wow, lots of Auburn love. Mm's a good player, and I approve of this message.

I thought we needed to do a top 25? Well, I sent a top 25 anyway.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I have tried to coordinate my games this past weekend and yesterday. If a team I am playing against refuses to sub, and only wants to play after 11pm EST (I had to be at work very early this morning), what else am I supposed to do? I apologize ahead of time for not getting my games finished, but I hope that FMT you understand it was not because of a lack of effort on my end. Vumpler and MrBob told me that the Madden league is not as rushed and I have every belief that I should be able to get my games in on time. If anyone wants to play my games today for me, I have to play Coinreturn, WSV, and MrBob. If they can play during the day today, I give Vumpler permission (and anyone else who asks) to play as the Hokies to get my games done by 9pm EST. Thanks again for letting me play.

Thanks for the AU love, although I don't really think I deserve a spot in the Top 8 with my 5-5 record. I do think I can hang with anyone, though - I just need more experience playing with this group so I can win those 1 score games (just a few bounces my way and I'm 7-3 or 8-2)....

Anyway, here's my Top 8:

1. Ohio State
2. California
3. Alabama
4. USC (if he gets his last game played)
5. Oklahoma
6. Miami
7. Georgia Tech
8. Michigan

I'm not sure what to do with Clemson because he has so many games left but they should probably be in the discussion.

 

[Lonestar]

Well, I'll say I have GT #1, simply because he had the knack of beating unbeaten teams. He's my only loss. And rememby folks, Team used is important! Compare Alabama versus Miami!

 

[dammitmattt]

USC - Dwayne Jarrett's stats are messed up - 77 TDs :lol :lol

GT had some impressive victories against Lonestar and FMT, but there were also a lot of weak games and/or fill-in teams on his schedule....

 

[vumpler]

I don't know how bama isn't #1 on everyone's list O.O OhioState at #1 seems a little far fetched as well

Oh well as long as the right teams get in the playoffs I guess it doesn't matter.

 

[Lonestar]

Well, it's not like I can't put him #1, he did beat me...or I beat myself for him...man does that sound wrong.

 

[vumpler]

Well, it's not like I can't put him #1, he did beat me...or I beat myself for him...man does that sound wrong.

Bama 9-1
Cal 8-2 (shut out OSU)

Maybe its just me

 

[dammitmattt]

I don't know how bama isn't #1 on everyone's list O.O OhioState at #1 seems a little far fetched as well

Oh well as long as the right teams get in the playoffs I guess it doesn't matter.

Even though I was playing a fill-in game as Florida, he still handed me my only blowout loss I've EVER had in this game, so that was worth a lot to me.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the right teams will get in, and the only controversy might be between Clemson and Michigan....my Auburn team is a solid #9/10 so I won't get in.

You never go away that's for sure :lol I could score whatever I wanted and you're still right there regardless. If you snuck in on votes I wouldn't disagree.

[Azwethinkweiz]

I'd love to finish out my games, but Truelize told me he has no desire to finish out his season and I haven't seen stooge in days. If someone wants to fill in those games for me then that's fine.

 

[Ramirez]

FMT screwed my team over,for shame!Sorry I wasn't able to finish my games,school started,so I've been busy trying to get back into the swing of things...

Hopefully Madden's netcode isn't balls and half of my games aren't decided by who can play better in the lag

Oh and for the top 8,why not just go by the top 8 on the Overall Rank stat line on the website,good way to avoid drama.

 

[Truelize]

I'd love to finish out my games, but Truelize told me he has no desire to finish out his season and I haven't seen stooge in days. If someone wants to fill in those games for me then that's fine.

I understood that I had to have all of my games completed last night Az. I can still play. I'm interested in seeing if I can get back to the top with the passing stats. Plus I'm hoping to play in the "Voodoo bowl" . Make it happen FMT.

Seriously...I think certain people just have issues with EA games because I've rarely had any lag issues, and I've played about 20 games online now.

On the same note, I don't have any problems with SF2 when I'm playing someone with a decent connection, so maybe I'm just doing something right?

Also, I'm number one in the overall rank but I'm not a playoff team unless the field expands to 10 teams. Overall Rank isn't weighted correctly and puts more emphasis on stats than W-L record.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Ok well let's play sometime tonight. I'd still need someone to fill in for stooge though.

And yeah, lag is pretty spotty. Sometimes it'll be completely lag free, and sometimes it'll be completely unplayable. The sad thing is last time both of those extremes were in the same game. I have no doubt I would have won last night if it weren't for terrible lag popping up out of nowhere on key plays. Oh well.

 

[Lonestar]

Can't go by the overall rank because the stats are messed up as is. All the fill in games screwed the pooch. How many fill in games got all the stats entered in?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

USC - Dwayne Jarrett's stats are messed up - 77 TDs :lol :lol

are they messed up...or am i just that awesome?

Spoiler

they are messed up. i meant to put 77 in the long category :lol

Overall Rank is the most important metric in the league. Believe.

 

[Lonestar]

after exporting the player and team stats, been playing around. This is just a grouping of stats, including sacks and sacks allowed, passing TD's and passing TD's allowed, and Running TD's and Running TD's allowed. I got the Per Game averages, and the numbers next to them are the rankings for each category. Then added the rankings together to give a final talley. The lower the talley, the better overall. It's really just a bunch of BS numbers, but I bored at work.

Why not? ImageShack is good enough for the rest of us so it's good enough for you :lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

that settles it. I don't even think we need a playoff to be honest. Just give me the trophy.

 

[Lonestar]

my work blocks imageshack. And most everything else. It's a friggen miracle to have GAF and Leaguedaddy. Even Wikipedia is blocked!

I'm working on how to figure out "best of position", using a kind of Fantasy Football mentality, like 2 points for a tackle, 4 points for a TFL, 6 points for a sack, 8 for an INT, 10 for a DTD, 6 for a FF and 7 for a FR. And so on to other positions, at least running, receiving and passing.

BTW, with those points, the #1 overall defensive player is...JUWAN SIMPSON, from Alabama <Cue the Million Dollar Band>

Do that!!! Who is the #1 offensive player? Troy Smith or Kenny Irons? I have to take my small victories when I can get them...

Also, I've got the most valuable punter award locked up, hahahah

 

[Lonestar]

I'm having trouble with thinking of how to score them. A yard would have to be 1, attempts...1? 1/2? a TD something larger like 6-8, with a fumble being -8+

I could look at "100 yard rushing" games, but that would take forever!

And then to even thinking about mixing QB's, RB's and WR's into 1 overall group...

Though Ken Darby is closer to Kenny Irons than you think. I actually threw to Darby!

 

[vumpler]

I'm ready for the bracket to be made so we can start our games

 

[ianswoody]

Guys, guys! I'm using my Live account at my other friend's house, so I'm getting all those games done now. Don't count me out yet!!!

 

[vumpler]

Don't rush yourself, Your SoS and losses kind of count you out already. Most of the votes have already been submitted as well. If you wouldn't have lost to NC and finished your games before yesterday then yes it would have been one hell of a race for that 8th spot, but I think it's already over bud Always madden and then next year! If you finish your games quickly you could go up against mmle in the bowl game! Now that would be a good bowl game.

Lol who subbed these games as Mr. Sparkle? Whoever it is they played like garbage lol. The gophers are awesome as well I don't know who didn't utilize them.

 

[Truelize]

Lonestar subbed one against me. And I know Konex has subbed them for other people (I think).

 

[vumpler]

Lonestar subbed one against me. And I know Konex has subbed them for other people (I think).

I was talking about the 3 games that just got subbed as Mr. Sparkle for ianswoody.

 

[Lonestar]

that's the bad thing about Mr. Sparkles, everyone knows how to do it. Say, if I knew I was playing against Mr. Sparkles, I could just have my buddy play as that team, don't do jack shit, give up big numbers, etc etc.

Not saying that happened, but it could have been abused if someone wanted to.

 

[ianswoody]

I played CPU on one of them (the blowout on BYU) and then my friend played the other two. Definitely legit as he is pretty much as good as I am, which isn't saying much.:lol But hey I woulda been playing garbage players anyway (note my previous game against TCU). I told him to play as hard as he could and on the Minnesota game, I could not get anything going offensively and then on the TCU game, my CBs finally started catching picks.

Like you guys said though, too little too late. I just wanted to get the games played to see how it would've panned out. I didn't wanna be one of those guys who doesn't finish his seasons. Especially on my first go-round!

 

[Mrbob]

So have the playoffs officially started?

To late :lol. But at least you tried. You have to play someone in the league as a Sub though. I could have tore up with Minnesota. At least I did when I subed for them Anyway we have 45 mins til the announcement should happen for the bracket.
