The Playoff Picture

I want the playoffs to be about the teams that did the best in this challenge. So for that reason I will use the top 4 teams from each conference (regardless of division) for the playoff spots plus an additional 2 teams from each conference as wildcard spots.

For any ties in standings at the end of the season I will use whoever has the higher PF (points for) throughout the season. In the event of a tie for PF, I will go to PA (points against) and whichever team has less points against them will rank higher.

**********

Playoffs will last 3 weeks and WILL include Sundays. (REMEMBER: Playoffs are played within your own conference)...

Week 1: December 30th - January 5th
Week 2: January 6th - January 12th
Week 3: January 13th - January 19th
OFF WEEK : January 20th - January 26th
NFL Runnerbowl : January 27th - February 2nd


In Week One of the Playoffs the schedule for each conference will be as follows...
*Teams ranked as #1 and #2 for each conference will have a bye week.
*Team ranked #3 will play against Team ranked #6(wildcard) AND Team ranked #4 will play against Team ranked #5(wildcard)

In Week Two of the Playoffs the schedule for each conference will be as follows...
*Team ranked #1 for each conference will play the lower ranked team that won in Week 1 of their conference's Playoffs.
*Team ranked #2 for each conference will play the other team that won in Week 1 of their conference's Playoffs.

In Week Three of the Playoffs...
*The winning team from each game in Week 2 of their conference's Playoffs will play against each other to determine who will make it to the NFL Runnerbowl

********** I hope that makes sense to everyone. If you have any questions or see any mistakes, please post here and we can straighten things out.
