Also I am seeing where teams prioritize winning their cup games early in the season. As a result they lose a few League games...As soon as they get bounced from the Cup Tournament, their efforts go back to winning League games. They may have dug themselves a hole, but if/when they make the playoffs they are much better than their record; and that 4th or 3rd season team may be much better than what their record or seed indicates. As a result, when they beat a higher seed team, its not really an upset.

my buddy from my PL was 4th and beat the #1

(22757677)

He said it was just a matter of matchups, his team just matches well against that team. Just like in the NBA.

Hehe, last season there was this funny situation in my league, in which the 4th seed played against the 3. in conference finals ;)

Also my friend last season was seated #4 and won the championship. It was quite a suprise because pound for pound the other teams were way ahead of him talent wise.

seconds and third seed teams can have the same record and just a points differntial, so I imagine it is very likely that the third seed team could defeat the second seed team. This situation could also happen between 1v4, but that's more unlikely.

Same thing happened in my league, with a 15-7 team against a 10-12 team. He got robbed though, look at matchup ratings. http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/22759250/boxscore.aspx
