With CV doing the lolwest, I thought I'd give a quick overview of the East

1/2 - Blaze/Black OPS winner. They play in week 16. Winner is #1 seed, loser is #2. That simple. Only thing that could throw it off is if the Ground Pounders upset Blaze this week. Not counting on it.

3 - Mice. Assuming Blaze beat NY-CA, that puts them into a tie with the Mice, again assuming Hounds don't upset the Pounders. If Hounds win in week 15, Mice are here by themselves. In the event of a tie, Mice get the 3 seed by head-to-head.

4 - Ground Pounders. Pretty well locked in here unless they win out. That would get them the 3 seed over the Mice.

5 - College Station Aggies. Only questionable game left is Oakland in week 16. But if they win the other 2, they're locked in here because of head-to-heads vs. NY-CA and Nashville.

6 - Nashville. Have 2 big games left vs. Blaze (L) and ACA (?). Lose to ACA and they probably drop to the 7 seed. Beat ACA and they end up as the 6 seed. Could only drop to the 8 seed if Oakland upsets Black OPS or College Station. I see that game vs. ACA as a 60/40 Nashville win, so I'll put them here right now.

7 - ACA. They are #8 right now, but they have 2 sure wins left and could run the table. If they beat Nashville in week 16, they're the 6 seed, if they lose, they're number 7.

8 - Oakland. 8-5 right now, but have 2 likely losses on the schedule vs. Black OPS and College Station. If they upset 1 of those and ACA beats Nashville they would be the #7, otherwise they are slotted to the 8 hole because they lost to both Nashville and ACA. Fortunately they have 1 sure win on the schedule, so their playoff spot is safe.

Oakland beat all the 5-8 teams this season, so even if they are upset by the Blackrock Reapers, they would get in ahead of any of the 4 5-8 teams that might win out.

The top 8 are set and the order is pretty close to set. A couple spots are in the air a little, but the picture in the East is pretty clear at this point.

No doubt.


The conference is very USAPL-esque as ironic as that is. The league had faded from its former glory in the past few seasons but somehow the east filled itself with quality teams. West is turrible, but the east really should have an interesting playoffs.

Will they rebalance the two conferences next off season?

Yes, the balance will be even more tilted to the East

Any of these teams are capable of winning, but my impression is that the top 5 are really the only ones who can win it all. I do expect some upsets. As good as the Blaze are, there are several teams on any given day who can beat them if they bring their A game.

Congrats to all of you and good luck. I will be rooting for all the under dogs because it's just more fun that way.
