* OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED - Washington Slashers, Pirgos Warlords, and Coruscant Sith
- The Phoenix Eagles are not officially eliminated from the playoffs, but they're damn close. It's going to take a rapture to get them in so go ahead and make plans for next season guys!
- The Algoma Beach Tokers are done; they can still make the playoffs, but they won't do anything when they get there. More than likely they will come close to making the playoffs as they only have the Rage left to beat; the other teams are beatable, but I think they're already looking at next season.
- The Tigana Tigers are still in the hunt, but they have Ice and Fire still on their schedule along with a lot of other teams fighting to make the playoffs. They have a shot at a playoff run, but time is running out. They've got to pull it together now and win these next few games.
- The Diamond Valley Mastadons find themselves once again on the border of making the playoffs or not making the playoffs. They have Ice and Fire left, but they also have the Warlords; so that's almost a wash there. Their other games are games they need to win if they want to even do anything in post season play; so suit up and get ready to rock!
- The Dot Vaders have a good end of season schedule; no they aren't playing the weaker teams, but teams that are battling for the last few playoff spots. These are the games you need to win to do anything in the post season; let's see how strong the dark side really is!
- The Dirty South Brew Crew still have two of the top teams left to face along with some bubble teams; not looking too good for them as they're sitting below 500 at the moment. I hate to say it so early, but it looks like the Brew Crew may miss the playoffs.
- The Fareham Demons have a great record right now, but still have some brutal matchups still to go. Rage, Borg, and Empire will do some damage to that record, but the Demons have had a good season. They very will could take one of those games and that would secure a playoff spot, but I'm pretty sure the Demons will see some post season play.
- The LUX Borg will battle every week till playoff time and will have to close out with Ice and Fire; not looking too good for them as any slip along the way could cost them a playoff spot. Their game against the Demons could be a big game consider they also have a rough close to their schedule.
- The Mexican Misfits still have to face off with the Rage, but most of their games are against bubble teams fighting to get into the playoffs. This could be a good thing for the Misfits or a bad thing if they're not paying attention. Should be a smooth sailing for them as they enter the post season; just will come down to their seed to what they'll do in the post season.
- The Mentone Beach Assault still have the Borg and Empire left on their schedule; then that's about it. The Assault haven't lived up to my expectations as their mix of old and young roster seems to trigger bad things against the Alpha Elite. I've got the Assault penciled in for a home playoff game and maybe a first round win, but not sure they can do anything past that.
- The United Empire believe chemistry is over rated and have had a great season. The Empire will cruise through to the playoffs and only really matchup with the Assault to close out the season, but the Empire is on another level and will take that game. That win will lock up the #3 seed as the Empire will enter the playoffs with great chemistry and a shot at the #2 seed in the second round.
- Who gives a shit about the rest of the games for the A Team of Ice and Fire and the Portland Rage; all we care about is seeing what happens Week 14 when these two giants collide. No one else stands in their way and the only way they'll lose before that game is if they fall asleep from all these scrub teams they're forced to face each week. They have the #1 and #2 seeds locked up and all they need to worry about is who will face the Empire in the second round of the playoffs and who gets the easy road to the Alpha Conference Championship game.

* OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED - The Minnesota Skulls, London CPU, and Metz Metal Militia
- The Black Sea Squall should get three more wins this season, but will more than likely miss the playoffs as they need to win out to get there; good news is they should be back in the WEPL next season!
- The Oslofjorden Seagulls still have the Stoners and Grizzlies left on their schedule, but the other games are winnable games; however, those two losses could push them out of the playoffs so they have win figure out a way to win one of those games or stay home for the post season.
- The Kunta Kinte's Revenge still have the Stop Signs and Black Hand on their schedule; along with other teams fighting for a playoff berth not looking like much of a Revenge this season. Still in the hunt, but it's going to be rough getting in so probably want to look at next season.
- The Philadelphia Marauders II still have the Stop Signs to go, but they also have two easy wins as well; they have a shot, but the door is closing. They've got to win their bubble matchups and fight their way in; they can't drop a game from here out unless they plan on beating the Stop Signs.
- The Glasgow Tigers are just sitting on the outside of the playoffs and still have a couple of rough games to go. They have to stay focused if they want to make that playoff push. The upcoming bubble games are a must win to get in as they're looking at least two more losses on their schedule.
- The Evil Fleet have their last easy game of the season this next week against the Tigers who are hungry to get into the playoffs. From there on the Fleet will face the best of Zeta and fighting their way into the playoffs is going to be a long up hill battle that I'm not sure they can make.
- The Warsaw Gods Of War have a few easy easy games that will help them out a lot, but they will still close out the season with the Grizzlies who they could face early in the playoffs. That will be a good test for Warsaw, but I'm not sure they're ready to make a serious playoff run yet.
- The Porto People Eaters or Porto Grizzly Eaters still have to face off with the Stoners and the Underground; granted their name is People Eaters so they should take care of the Stoners, but how will they look against the Underground? They have some tough games to keep their ranking, but they should be in the playoffs; however, they could find themselves below Warsaw at a lower seed.
- The Black Hand mainly has to face off with some bubble teams to close out the season, but they'll get their shot at the Grizzlies and the Stoners so they could move up the rankings, but they could also stay near the bottom of the playoff group. I have faith the Black Hand will stay strong and finish out mid pack, but I'm not sure about a home playoff game.
- The London Underground have a brutal schedule still remaining; if they're not playing the Zeta Elite, they're playing against the bubble teams fighting to get into the playoffs. I can see them close out with a home playoff game, but they're going to have to fight for it as everyone will be coming strong.
- The Cincinnati Stoners battle every week of the season until Week 16 when it's time for a break as they get ready for their playoff run. As a new team they've done very well and could still make a run at things, but each week will prove just how ready they are. I'm sure they'll be in the playoffs, but what seed still remains a question.
- The Graz Grizzlies get two easier games to close out their schedule, but still face the Zeta Elite to finish off their run to the postseason. Those last two games should lock them into the playoffs, but after their last loss where will the finish off?
- The Lawrence Stop Signs get to face some bubble teams and two Elite squads before gearing for the playoffs, but they have a good chance at holding on to the #1 seed. Week 14's matchup with the Grizzlies will be interesting to watch and a win there should lock the Stop Signs into at least the #2 seed, but their game against the Stoners could decide a lot of rankings in Zeta.
> = Division Leader
