The Playoff Machine

Check THIS out. ESPN has come up with an NFL "Playoff Machine." You start by choosing a criteria (home team, away team, power rankings, win %, offensive rank, or defensive rank). The "machine" then automatically determines the outcomes of every NFL game for the rest of the season based on what you selected, and shows you a complete playoff picture based on what those results would produce. Of course, none of those criteria would be completely accurate, so you can view all the games week-by-week and change any individual game you think would turn out differently than the criteria you chose... and the playoff picture updates automatically! It's SUPER cool. Maybe the niftiest thing I've ever seen on the web relating to sports.
