So, things cleared up...just a little.

Saigon:
In playoffs. Magic # to clinch #1 seed is 2. Likely the winner of Saigon/Gurupies in week 16 will be #1; the loser will be #2.

Gurupies:
In playoffs. Control their own destiny for the #1 seed - win out and they have it. Lose to Saigon and they lose it. Lose to Alpine and they have to hope Saigon loses to Gunny as well or week 16 becomes meaningless.

Osaka:
In playoffs. Control their own destiny for the #3 seed; 1 win and they have it locked. Lose both and the Blaze could pass them outright, and there could be a multi-way tie that's hard to predict the tiebreakers on for 10 wins.

Blaze:
In playoffs - almost. They've got good tiebreakers and the easiest schedule. I think even with 2 losses they'll get in. Two wins and they get a home playoff game for sure.

8-6 teams, 7-7 teams:
Only one game in the last two weeks pits any of the remaining playoff hopefuls against each other; that's Moose Jaw vs Gunny in week 16. If you're 8-6, two wins and you're in and Moose Jaw vs Gunny would be for the last spot - and no one with 9 wins would get in. However, I predict at least 3 losses for the 8-6 teams, leaving an opening for 2 9-7 teams to get in based on tiebreakers. With potentially 7 teams that could be locked in various ties, going through those scenarios is a length process.

Predictions:

I'm going mostly chalk here.
Saigon: 15-1
Indy: 13-3
Osaka: 12-4
Blaze: 11-5
Carthage: 10-6
Monowi: 9-7 (3-0)
Gunny: 9-7 (2-1)
Moose Jaw: 9-7 (1-2)

Cinci: 9-7 (0-3)

Alpine: 8-8
Navigators: 8-8

However, a number of these games could go either way and that would completely change the landscape.

I don't appear to have a dot in Alpha, sorry. Probably whoever's 1-8 now will stay there I guess.

Good to know there will be no #1 seed after week 16.

#4 seed has a bye to the CCG; #3 seed has to beat them both in a 3-way cage match.

Osaka is the key to everything.


If Cincy beat Osaka, Cincy is in (probably).

Lincoln also plays Osaka. If Lincoln beat Osaka, they'll also be 9-7 and hold tiebreakers over Monowi
and MOose JAw (but not Gunny, or Cincy).

Since Dpride made me replace Juke with Coverup you don't have to worry about this happening again.

Well, it's not going to be in week 1, and it's not week 4 so...50/50 chance.

Sorry, alpha, I think the top 2 teams are in Zeta. I don't know for sure which teams those are, but they're in Zeta.
