Once Week 11 concludes we will have each played each other once. As a 14-team league last year, we very conveniently and very fairly played each other once over the 13-week regular season. For the last 2 weeks of this year’s regular season (Weeks 12 and 13) the schedule was randomized by NFL.com. Some teams are actually scheduled to play the same team back to back. *Bagel Time and the Lake Hickory Swallops are set to play each other in Weeks 11 and 12. Because of this, I have decided to set the schedule manually to allow for a mini-playoff before the actual playoffs begin. I think this will achieve the closest we can get to fair matchups over the last 2 weeks. Let me outline how this will work.
Following the conclusion of Week 11, we will establish the schedule for Weeks 12 and 13 based on the League Standings. For Week 12, we will set it up as follows.
Team 1 vs. Team 7
Team 2 vs. Team 8
Team 3 vs. Team 9
Team 4 vs. Team 10
Team 5 vs. Team 11
Team 6 vs. Team 12
Using the same League Standings after the conclusion of Week 11, we will set up the final Week of the regular season to play your neighbor. This will be a true test of which team best deserves that position in the playoffs. For Week 13, we will set it up as follows.
Team 1 vs. Team 2
Team 3 vs. Team 4
Team 5 vs. Team 6
Team 7 vs. Team 8
Team 9 vs. Team 10
Team 11 vs. Team 12
I have already updated the schedule to give you a preview of what Weeks 12 and 13 would look like if we incorporated these changes based on the current League Standings (post Week 10). This is just a preview. We will wait until the conclusion of Week 11 to allow for any shift in League Standings. I will then adjust the schedule for both Weeks 12 and 13 to fit the model above.
