There are many scenarios where different teams end the season tied, and each scenario results in different tie breaker situations. The best bet is to just focus on winning your next game, and reevaluate after that.

I'm definitely right there. We win out, and we're in. Salem and Akron need only one win each - though I think Akron has the tougher road there. After today, the math either gets a lot easier, or really gets confusing.

Same to you. Last season's game was a classic. I expect this year to be the same.

BTW, It's nice to make the playoffs this time around, even if its one-and-done...

As long as we're out, might as well be a spoiler.

I suppose you're going to hold me to this?

Teams that can clinch a playoff spot with a week 16 win -
Western Conference -
None - yep, not as much drama as the east but still a lot on the line for Anchorage and San Diego. I'll need clarification on the rules, but at a glance I'd say Anchorage has the inside track by virtue of their victory over San Diego. If that wasn't enough, then you go to points scored where Anchorage has an edge 312 to 279. It seems like at the end of every season people are always scrambling to figure out the tie-breakers, and this season is no different. You'd think we'd write it down or something!
In the East, these teams also clinch a playoff spot with a win:
Salem Cyber Hawks
Akron Browns
Atlanta Wolves
After that it just get's crazy. One certainty is that Scranton must win to be in the discussion. If they lose, their season is over. For the other 7 teams, a loss doesn't guarantee an exit but it means you need help. The points scored tiebreaker is as follows :
Akron - 475
Vice City - 421
New Hampshire - 388
Scranton - 370
Detroit - 360
Atlanta - 352
Salem - 334
Gulf State - 320
So, Atlanta, Salem and Gulf State are in a pickle if all the teams end up tied at 9-7.
Actually, looking at it like this means Akron is in even if they lose. We'll want clarification on the tiebreakers to make sure, but I'm pretty sure this is accurate.
Game 16 matchups are as follows (tracking the east) :
Akron vs DVDtalk
Salem vs USMC
Atlanta vs Rapid City
New Hampshire vs Death Valley
Gulf State vs Honolulu
Vice City vs San Jose
Detroit vs Midwest
Now, I'm not willing to concede anything until the games are played, but looking at it objectively I'd say the critical games are going to be Salem vs USMC and Detroit vs Midwest. Those games appear to be the most evenly matched and have the most potential to play out in an unexpected fashion (ie they aren't guaranteed wins for the east). Unfortunately for my team, we draw one of the west's best. Akron also got jobbed for a swing game like this, while Vice City, Gulf State and New Hampshire have to be smiling. The odds on those 5 games playing out like everyone thinks they will is pretty high ... but again, I'm not conceding anything until 11:05 Saturday night.
