Our league actually overrides ESPN's default playoff settings, so the top two in each division make it. It's a fairly unusual league, but we've been doing it for a while now, and we like to experiment with rules.
I made it in on the craziest fluke - every single other team in my division lost in the final week except me, and I scored enough points to make up the total points tiebreaker gap just enough to squeak into the playoffs. My opponent in round 1 is 12-3, so we'll see if the insane luck holds...
Update: The two 7-8 playoff teams might meet in the championship. The division winner needs ~27 total points between Josh Jacobs and the GB D/ST tonight, but my match is decided and I have stumbled ass-backward into the championship game.
I think it's mostly come down to injury luck lol. My team is (somehow) fully healthy, and my opponent has Alvin Kamara, George Pickens, and Cade Otton all hurt this week.
...There may be a vote next offseason to redo the wildcard spots lol
EDIT: Yep, it's the two teams from Purgatory Division in the title game. This is weird as hell.

Based off the team names this must be the most cursed division of all time. Let us know how the division winner does in the playoffs
