Here's the deal. In my Clemson league I'm in a 5-way tie for the final 2 playoff spots. It's a 14 team league so everyone plays each other once.
head-to-head records looks like this:
4-0 [me]
3-1
1-3
1-3
1-3
I'm gonna miss out on the playoffs b/c two of those 1-3 teams scored a couple more points for the season than myself. How do you go 4-0 in head to head and NOT make the playoffs?! SMH. Anyone else experience this kind of FF playoff frustration?

Well, total points is a very common tiebreaker. Its how I do the league that I run. I'm sorry you may miss out.
In my 8-team league, we have four teams at either 5 or 6 wins fighting for one playoff spot, and it could happen that we have a four way tie broken by points scored as well. I safely clinched first place two weeks ago, thankfully. We have one poor guy who's 1-12 even though he's the 4th highest scoring team in the league, because his opponents blow up every week against him.ToddPhin likes this. -

Last year in one of my pay leagues I was 2nd in points scored but 1st in points against. Finished 11th in a 12 team league including 5 losses by 5 points or less. That's just the way fantasy happens sometimes. The most important thing to remember with FF is that you have a limited amount of control over the outcome. The team I mentioned above was a stud team...had a top 5 player at every position including K and D...just couldn't catch a break.
Hopefully things work out for ya Todd.
