Fantasy Mock Voting (Standings Posted #178)

[LT]

Before I reveal the rankings I'd like to ask for opinions on how to handle the Pacific/Central crossover. The Central has one less team which means calculating the average vote per division would be somewhat unfair. If none of the teams in the Central are getting an 8 seed vote, they should obviously have slightly lower averages. Would everyone be fine with having 4 playoff teams from each division instead of calculating the wild card for the West? Or maybe someone has a better suggestion for how to calculate this, maybe with weighted averages? I have a marketing degree not a math guy.

You can weight the points so that:
1st place = 8 points
...
7th place = 1 point

That’s generally been the safest way to calculate things when I’ve ran these.

EDIT - This is what Panda Bear said

I had you 1st in the Atlantic, I thought you're team was one of the best. So far the comments on this thread have been really surprising.

For the Central, my top-3 was Colorado, St. Louis, and Nashville, although it seems that some people put Dallas 1st.

This is my top 3 in a different order

If people don't know that Johnson has been playing on the wing, then should they even get to vote?

you and your fancy goalposts.

 

[hockeynorth]

Here’s the big day, are all the votes in?

 

[Horse McHindu]

I’ll be shocked if I make the playoffs but stranger things have happened before.

Best of luck everyone.

From the sounds of it rankings are all over the place, I'm thinking I might not either and my team was one of my favourites in the whole thing

To float you some hope...

I voted you top 4 in your division, somewhere in there

Jesus this is going to be crazy

Thanks man!

Obviously, I haven’t heard the opinions of everyone but the general consensus I’m getting is that I’m a bubble team that narrowly misses.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Best of luck everyone. I found the voting to be very close, so anyone can make it

 

[hockeynorth]

Do we see the results at 5 or does voting open at 5? I'm really curious if I missed, I have the feeling from talking to some people that I'm ranked really high in some rankings and painfully low in others

Nervous for my team. While I do believe we are a playoff team, there are lots of good teams in the Metro!

It's going to be a blood bath

I feel like my rankings/evaluations were different than consensus lol. I found the Pacific/Atlantic to be tougher to rank, I thought both were slightly deeper than the other 2.

It’s gonna be all over the board, I’m very interested in the results. Some good teams won’t even make the playoffs.

Probably. But if you truly had a top team then I think you should be able to make the top 3 in your division even if you think you're in a stronger division. It's not like we have 31 casual fans voting on these teams.

This is true too, they're really all over though it's crazy.

 

[Joey Moss]

I'll release the votes at 5:00 ET. Right now there's 7 people who haven't voted.

24 votes out of 31 is incredible for these games.

Tag the 7 so we can shame them

They are disqualified from playoff contention

I agree with this unless it’s @donut or @LatvianTwist since both esteemed gentlemen have the power to ban us! (And I’m already on thin ice with most mods as is. :-p).

Lol good thinking. They are exempt for sure

Would be a tad harsh, but I wouldn’t be opposed to this (if per se, Joey were to send these guys a reminder and were given 24 more hours to submit their choices and were still unable to comply). Something along those lines. If any of these guys have a good excuse however, then maybe exceptions can be made on a case by case basis. I don’t know....
