First off, the head-to-head record is the primary tie-breaker, but I wouldn't expect one such as Arod to know that because he simply argues for the sake of arguing instead of reading through the CSFL rules featured on these forums.
This mod is less like the NFL and more like arena football in terms of scoring. If scoring was as difficult as the NFL then "Points For" would be used over "Points Against", but seeing that it is harder to limit a team to fewer points - "Points Against" is the tie-breaker used beforehand.
Which team is better?
24-0 or 31-7
I'd take the 24-0 victory because, as stated previously, defense is more difficult due to the probability of flukes that can occur on the offensive side of the ball (see Arod's week 1 stats).
WhooKid chose to use the "Points Against" tie-breaker in CSFL I, which I left intact for season two because it makes perfect sense.
Arod's Logic: Toronto, Washington, Chicago, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Dallas
New Jersey gave up 72 points, which is more than twice the amount that Dallas gave up, yet Dallas is in last place and New Jersey is in 4th?
Or you can look at it this way: New Jersey put up 38 points on a team that put up 72 in return. If those 72 "Points For" determined the quality of Toronto then why couldn't they stop this "awful" team from putting up 38 points, which is the 3rd most "Points For" thus far in the season - more than Chicago, which won against a good Dallas team, which by Arod's logic should be in last place.
If that's the case then sign-up Connery for his fluke bombs.
Arod has proven time after time that book smarts does not always correlate with intelligence.
