Well, I’ve done it. After last night’s MNF game between the Giants and Jaguars, the Commish (my opponent this past week) failed to get enough out of MoJo (11.1 points) to beat me. I have now clinched my division and will be getting a 1st round bye during the playoffs.

Timmy has already chimed in, but I’ll go ahead and admit it: my victory was WEAK. I had the lowest point total of all winning teams, with the next lowest team scoring 15 points more than me. This kind of luck has been the story of my season, I’ve been catching teams either asleep at the wheel or just on very bad weeks. The Commish started McNabb against me this week, and he ended up tearing his ACL and is out for the season.

Still, let me defend myself. My team is 3rd in the league is overall offense. I’ve been proactive about making moves/trades to keep winning and prepare myself for the playoffs. I’ll say it right now: my playoffs depend entirely on Shaun Alexander getting back to form and being a force in the final weeks of the season. If he plays like he did on Sunday, I’m doomed. I have big question marks at QB (Romo), TE (Desmond Clark) and Defense (Atl).

From now on, let’s rank the probable playoff teams, leaving the bottom feeders to talk amongst themselves:

1. Cubanlinks (10-1): ‘Nuff said.
2. Timmy Smash (7-4): He has LT, which cancels out Eli’s suckiness lately.
3. NY or Bust (6-5): Scored 93 points with a goose egg from Hassleback.
4. Fear the Turtle (7-4): 5 double-digits performances, T.Green will only improve.
5. Tinkle Fairies (7-4): Has Rivers, so the McNabb injury isn’t fatal.
6. The Great A’Tuin (5-6): Could have scored 122 points, could be a sleeper.
