1) In S26, the International Simulation Football League used a tournament at the end of the season known as "the playoffs" to determine a league champion. In the International Simulation Football League twenty-sixth playoff, six teams entered and only one team left as the victor. There were six teams who made the Internation Simulation Football League playoffs of S26. So how exactly did those six teams make the International Simulation Football League playoffs of S26? How's about I tell you that? Ok? Let's start off with my least favorite team of the group: the Yellowknife Wraiths. The Yellowknife Wraiths have long been a thorn in my side in the grand scheme of International Simulation Football League play, dating back to National Simulation Football League play. What is the reason for my displeasure of the Wraiths of Yellowknife. I am going to tell you. A few seasons ago, all they needed to do as the best team in the league was to beat the Philadelphia Liberty for us to get into the playoffs. Instead, because they suck, they lost to the Philadelphia Liberty and kept the Baltimore Hawks out of the postseason. How did they get to the International Simulation Football League playoffs of S26? I don't care.
What about the teams I don't dislike? The 2nd seed in the NSFC was the Chicago Butchers. They were one of the top TPE teams in the league and many saw them as one of the International Simulation Football League's best. But because the sim is a cruel mistress, the Chicago Butchers underperformed a bit in the International Simulation Football League's 26th season, finishing 10-6. Despite that, they were still able to make the playoffs. The other team in the NSFC was the Colorado Yeti. The Colorado Yeti came into the season as a favorite of many. But, as they had done for the past few seasons, they underwhelmed...a lot. Despite only winning 1 game in their last 5 games, the Colorado Yeti were able to sweatily slop themselves into the International Simulation Football League's postseason...where they got absolutely demolished by the Yellowknife Wraiths 51-6. Oh what's that? They didn't actually make the playoffs? They were only put into the index as Yellowknife's opponent when Yellowknife was actually set to have a bye so to compensate the game was set to "Yellowknife win" and thus the Yeti were slaughtered in a meaningless game? Eh..whatever. They are still doo-doo. The actual other team in the NSFC to make the International Simulation Football League's playoffs of S26 were the Sailfish...but who gives a rat's ass about the Sailfish? Moving on.
You thought the NSFC was a clusterfuck? Wait until you hear about the ASFC. Because the ASFC is actually a competent division with teams who actively work towards being decent, 5 teams finished 9-7: all tying for the best record in the division. Due to tiebreakers or head-to-head records or rock-paper-scissors, only 3 of those teams were able to make the postseason: the Silverbacks, the Otters, and the Second Line. The Silverbacks were a scrappy team who were not, arguably, the best in their division overall but still used cunning and determination to win the 1st seed in their division and make it to the postseason for the first time since their inception back in S25. The Otters and the Second Line made the International Simulation Football League playoffs of S26 because they always do. Therefore, despite finishing 9-7 like their counterparts, the Austin Copperheads and the Arizona Outlaws were left on the outside looking in. Honestly, I don't know how it was decided that only 3 of those teams made the playoffs with no tiebreaker games. Like...it's not real football. Hold a round-robin or something. Or a game of naked Twister.
There you have it: the six greatest teams of all time. Why are they the six greatest teams of all time? Because they made the International Simulation Football League playoffs of S26. The first round saw the Second Line beat out the Otters, who many believed would've been the division's top team, 24-15. The Sailfish were also able to win in the first round by posting 24 points, but only after their opponents, the Chicago Butchers, posted 23 of their own. Fortunately for the Sailfish, they didn't have to keep buying cheap airfare as the Yellowknife Wraith's kicked them to the curb 24-22. The other division saw the hopes of a different up-and-coming team squandered by a league giant with the Second Line pissing away the Silverbacks 43-37 in overtime. Ultimus was set: the Second Line against the Wraiths. You gotta love when the league tries to get original. Anyway, the Wraiths absolutely wiped the Second Line off the face of the Earth with a scoring outburst of 49 points to New Orleans' meager 17. And with that, the Sabercats were no longer the most shat-on team in the league. Congratulations, Yellowknife! That's genuine, you guys had a great season.
