Fantasy Recap, Week 11: I'm Only Sleeping

Week 11 has gone by... and I tell ya', it's almost like I slept through it. Now that the bye weeks are over, I could almost leave a lineup alone. I don't, y'understand... but I could.
So, in my NFL.COM league? I lost.

Catchers in the Rye

Projected: Win

Actual: Loss 84-90


East
Catchers in the Rye 6-5-0
LacesOu 5-6-0
Textboo 5-6-0
Eau Claire Vandals 4-7-0

Central
Tiny Adorable Hedgehogs 7-4-0
Death by Haiku 2 5-6-0
RumseyB 3-8-0
Goregor 3-8-0

West
DredPir 9-2-0
HolyHan 9-2-0
Mothers 6-5-0
Underdo 4-7-0

There's no shame in losing, since I lost to Kathleen's "Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch" and all... but winning woulda' been better. Now, somehow, it's a horse race in my division, and I'm playing Mario this week. If I lose, I may barely hang on to #1 in my division... and #1? That's my only shot at making the playoffs.
Over in that "Can't Win for Losing" league? I won.

Sith Lords of the Gridiron

Projected: Loss

Actual: Win 109-76


Central
Clemson 6-3-2
UsualSu 6-5-0
LofasLa 6-5-0
Sith Lords of the Gridiron 4-6-1

East
BBbadbo 7-4-0
Knights 7-4-0
FBomber 6-5-0
royals1 5-6-0

West
TeamAlp 5-5-1
Lynchbe 5-6-0
YounGGu 4-7-0
FifeFan 3-8-0

Like the man said: "So what? Big deal." I mean, everyone in my division would have to lose every remaining game while I win every remaining game for me even to have a shot at the playoffs here. Still, winning is nice.
In that league I once ruled? I won. And I still rule.

The Powerful Mach 5!

Projected: Win

Actual: Win 118-59


Central
Powerful Mach 5! 9-2-0
Provide 6-5-0
JediMas 5-6-0
Bigbron 2-9-0

East

Baldeag 5-6-0
Skeleto 2-9-0
ItaliHe 2-9-0

West
Provide 9-2-0
Xchucki 9-2-0
KNIGHTS 6-5-0
Breakin 3-8-0

I got some mathematical help 'cause the team behind me in my division played a heavy-hitter in another division, and lost. So the good news is I widened my lead in my division. The bad -if shallow- news is that as a result I share a 9-2 record now with two other teams. I'm still overall points leader, though... and I'm willing to bet I dress better than those other guys.
In my Yahoo! league? I lost. Huge.

The cool news is I've clinched a playoff spot! So has Nancy! Woot!
I've almost done the opposite of that in the office Yahoo! league. Over there? I won.

* Clinched Playoff Spot

I'm just not sure it matters. It moved me up into the playoffs, sure... but I'm playing Tony's #1 team this week, and the rest of the season's no cakewalk, so making the playoffs here'll be tough.
Huh. Week 12 comin' up, and it turns out there's miles to go before I sleep.
