Here are the teams that i see in the playoffs for SURE. No doubt about it. This was much tougher to do than the top 5, where I had a few elite teams from the West and that group of studs from the East to dominate it all. I had to go through and look at quite a few teams at a time. I hope i didn't overlook anyone, specifically Akron.
This is very Time consuming, but I feel the need to get it done before the sims tonight, so well, off to work on the Bubble teams!!!
6) South Beach Tokers (6-2) [Eastern Confrence]
Analysis: This is a team that has had some hot streaks. A great win over Chicago. At first i was thinking this spot belonged to Houston, then I thought ORLY deserved it, then Chicago, and it bounced all over the place. But this team in my mind is the 6th best team in BBB 14. They have played one of the tougher schedules in the league and came out with only a few losses. Don't sleep on South Beach.

7) ORLY Owls (6-2) [Western Confrence]
Analysis: I'm really glad i've put alot of work into this, because WOW, this team is impressive. The only other team to have won against a winning combined record of opponants is Philly. This team I think has done some amazing things so far. Very impressed with them and the numbers they have put up. A great tailback and a team that is definatly on the rise.

8) Chicago Bruins (6-2) [Eastern Confrence]
Analysis: I guess the only thing that has me still hoping for this team is the year they had last year. It doesn't make sense that they all of a sudden aren't as good. A couple of close losses to upper tier teams, not really a big deal, in terms of seeding it is, but otherwise, this team still might be the favorite in the East.

9) Houston Apollos (7-1) [Western Confrence]
Analysis: I always seem to have a very difficult time looking at what this team has done and believing it. They only have 2 level 30s on the ENTIRE roster and still manage to be 7-1. Again all the props in the world to nottas` and his staff. This team has put on a show, and for being this great with not alot of guys, They earned the number 9 spot on the midseason report. To prove they were up here, they got a win against a tough Carolina team. Great Job Houston, I'm beginning to have Houston as my underdog hero in the west. Go Houston!

10) North Carolina Lighthouses (7-1) [Eastern Confrence]
Analysis: This team hasn't played a whole bunch of great opponents, and they don't have a stellar defense. This team hasn't convinced me of their 7-1 record. They are going to be running into some opponents here soon. And that should finally show us who this team REALLY is. North Carolina is one of the big mysteries in the east right now. No one really knows about them.

11) Carolina Bar Stars (6-2) [Western Confrence]
Analysis: An amazing quarterback, which obviously is huge props to the owner for pulling him in... but that goes away with the level 4 on the roster. Seriously? Why on the roster? its not helping you, at all. A win against the always tough ORLY was enough to convince me this was a good team though. Which is why they are still on my playoff bound teams.

12) Chattanooga Quarantine (5-3) [Western Confrence]
Analysis: This team has become much better towards the middle of the season. The reason they are in this spot, and not Oaky, is mainly because of the win over Carolina. They played ORLY very close, which is HUUGGEEE props to that staff. I like this team, and i can definatly see them in the playoffs.
