Playoff Scenerio generator?

[mikemar]

I'm looking for something, even a basic excel where

where you put in the records and points and schedual left and it spits out what a certain team would need to make the playoffs

ie. if you win this week and lose next, you need team x and team y to lose both games

Thanks

As far as I know there is no way to accomplish this without doing it by hand(spreadsheet). There is not a way to automate it

I don't think theres a generator, but if you post the records of everyone here on the cafe I'm sure someone will figure it out for you.

well i can do that, but what be cool is like 4-5 weeks out, figure out how many wins you need to clinch a spot

obviously you can figure out if you win out how many wins you have and same for someone else

but if 2 teams in the hunt play each other you have to take that into affect

be a fun tool to have for the season, but i'm not going to spend the hours and hours to program one

Hours and hours?

You can just do the same thing that baseball teams do with their magic number.

1) Take the number of the games in your season (14 or 13, I'm guessing). Call that X. Take your current wins. That's W. Take your opponent's losses. That's L.

X+1 - W - L = Your "Magic Number"

This is your "magic number" which is the combination of your wins and your opponent losses that you still require in order to win.

well yeah i could do that, but if 2 teams in the hunt play each other, that would help me out more, and would want to reflect that somehow
