But cereally, I bought that team and plan to build the roster to stay in that age group. The reason is because that appears to be the most active age group. I'm sure Nat Minor will have 4 leagues next season (which is much better than the 2 most age groups have).

To be fair, Diamond Valley isn't exactly a very good team. I have a human team in that same league that beat Diamond Valley 122-0 earlier this season. Their average level is only 49, their effective level is only 48, and they have quite a few dots in the low 40s. Not exactly the New England Patriots.
I'm also guessing they probably figured, "Hey, it's a CPU team, we're gonna steamroll 'em," and they probably didn't spend a second gameplanning today, and it bit 'em right in the ass.
We also played a CPU team in the playoffs today. Just to be safe, I took 10 minutes -- 10 whole minutes -- to scout their D and pick effective plays, and we won 115-0. I figured spending 10 minutes was well worth it to avoid the ignominy of losing to a CPU team. If Diamond Valley had done the same, they'd be in Round 2 right now.

How many times do you have to be educated about scaling before you finally have a clue what you're talking about?

I understand perfectly how CPU scaling works. And if Diamond Valley understood how CPU scaling works, they would've taken that game a little more seriously just to make sure they didn't get bitten on the ass by a CPU team.
Also, only warning, jd: keep it civil. I will not abide any personal insults from you on this topic. Disagree with me if you must, but keep it to that.

Cue the chorus that the playoff sim is different than the regular season sim.

The second sentence contradicts the first. Diamond Valley won the regular season match-up 34-0, and somehow I doubt that they game-planned for that. The issue isn't game-planning, it's that sometimes you get unlucky enough to have an improperly scaled CPU opponent that becomes much, much more powerful than they normally would be.

If you stopped being a moron then maybe people wouldn't call you one.

Craziest thing is, I don't think any of my teams have even lost to a CPU team, ever... I just find it a good conversation piece
Especially when a ragequit comes from it, which are the best ones

To back up this statement, look at things like Pancakes and Rev Pancakes.
That CPU team won in the trenches, and that's something you can't game plan.
