The order is just taken from the conference standings and are only my opinions. Oh, and this took way longer than I anticipated, so I appreciate the guys who do this kind of thing on a regular basis a lot more more now.
Western Conference
Playoffs: Locked
1 (1) Fresno Fire 11-0-0 W11
The Fort Wayne Talons gave Fresno heart stoppage, going toe to toe in Q1, lost thier footing in Q2 and couldn't recover. Who's next to pick up the mantle and push it further? Likely nobody until they hit playoff and have to face Jacktown, Reno, and San Jose all over agian.
2 (2) Reno Marauders 10-1-0 W8
The last three games have been walks in the park as will the next two be. They'll have a tough closing schedule with Kansas City, San Francisco, and Jacktown, but they'll have home game wrapped up at that point and they'll just be fighting for #2 or #3 seed.
3 (4) Jacktown Smackdown 9-2-0 W9
They moved up a spot and replace KC in three games reeling off 3 dominating wins. They'll be tested in the last four games though against KC, SF, Miramar, and Reno and they'll be fighting to hang onto the; #3 or #4 seed. They could slip closing out the season if they aren't careful, but it's doubtful, evidence shows that they're still working due diligence and finishing what they started.
4 (3) Kansas City Royal Chiefs 9-2-0 W6
Swapped position with Jacktown will still winning 3 as Jacktown did. They struggled against the CPU LA team, but took evenly matched Miramar to task. Their still up in the air and have a hard schedule to close out. We'll need to watch KC closely, since they are bubble team for 1st round home playoff game.
5 (7) San Jose Chupacabra 8-3-0 W4
They're still recovering, lurching up two spots in the standings and the true test with Fort Wayne is up next. Survive that game and they've go a good shot at replacing KC for the #4 seed.
Playoffs: Comfortably in the Grasp
6 (9) San Francisco Stonecutters 8-3-0 W5
SF lurches up three spots to help bringing a playoff game oh so close to reality, but they aren't out of the woods yet as every game from here on out - KC, Miramar, Jacktown, Reno, and Fresno will be a brutal schedule for them. They'll need to survive that stretch 2-3 to ensure a playoff spot, 1-4 to probably just hang on, but if they droop all 5, they'll be putting their fate into everyone Else's hands.
Playoffs: Needing a Little work
7 (6) Fort Wayne Talons 7-4-0 W2
They didn't do themselves any favors by stumbling in Q2 against Fresno, which caused them to slip in the standings, but they kept pace against Arkansas and Colorado. They'll need to close out strong the make statement that they belong in the playoffs by beating either San Jose or Miramar and Texas.
Playoffs: On the Bubble
8 (8) Miramar Leathernecks 6-5-0 L2
Miramar stumbled for a second time, letting a lot of air out of their playoff run. They Elves were no match and they struggled mightily against San Jose and wer ineffective against KC. Their roller coast ride won't stop as the season closes out, but they've got to win against SF, Fort Wayne, or Jacktown to even think about helping themselves. If one of those games isn't won, they'll be watching the playoff with a ticket in their hand.
9 (5) Los Angeles Arsenal CPU 6-5-0 L3
Finally, KC, SF, and Jacktown took care of business and dropped them 4 in the standings and it should be all downhill from here.
Playoffs: Trouble Looming
10 (10) Texas Raptors 5-6-0 W1
Still flirting with the playoffs and they did help themselves by upsetting Arkansas. But it's likely too late to rely on recruiting now with 2x =chemistry hits in place. They'll need to reel off a series of upsets to to even think about the playoffs.
Playoffs: Late For the Party
Some of you aren't listening, sign all level 1 cpu players to replace the high level cpu players. Nearly all cpu players play like crap, so why pay them a lot of money to play like crap? The financial savings can be used in FA or in the stadium.
11 (12) Colorado Springs Flyers 2-9-0 L1
They're making management mistakes and the amount of money they could have saved on CPU players could have bought them a stadium section free and clear. What are they waiting for?
12 (11) Pensacola Wolfpac 2-9-0 L4
Three blowouts and it won't get easier from here until the last game of the season where they have a chance to end the season on a positive note with potential of spoiling KC's home playoff hopes.
13 (15) Arkansas Rebels 1-10-0 L2
They continue to work on the roster and have taken some advice finally beating Titletown as they should have to avoid the goose egg and they should have a few more wins coming to close the season strong
14 (13) Titletown Testy Tadpoles 1-10-0 L8
All of the players are signed through season 7, so they have have committed players and they should be contending for the playoff next season.
15 (14) Brooklyn Bloodbath 1-10-0 L5
Brooklyn, see my notes for Colorado, the same applies to you.
16 Cleveland Elves 0-11-0 L11
BBB's version of the Detroit Lions, but unlike the Lions, that will eventually change.
Eastern Conference
Playoffs: Locked
1 (11) American Freedom 11-0-0 W11
Bortsville gave a lot of talk on these boards and bragged about the running game, Freedom answered by giving them their lowest single game totals for the season, putting into question Bortsville's home playoff hopes should win the next two games hands down. Freedom will need to defeat BC and Richmond decisively to close out the season in order to quiet the nay sayers about their grasp on the top seed.
2 (2) Syracuse Souls 10-1-0 W3
They learned from the Freedom game and man handled BC and LMG and worked the GRizzly's. They'll need to keep the pace up to close the season out since Richmond, Colonial, Baltimore and Tri-Cities are fighting the playoff pecking order themselves. Surviving that last 5 games 3-2 will seal up a home playoff game for them anything less and their taking a chance.
3 (4) Richmond Retros 10-1-0 W10
They pulled off the upset over Tri-City like they needed to and jumped to #3 in the standings, but they'll need to work to maintain it against Syracuse, Bortsville, and Freedom.
4 (3) Bortsville Mystery Nerf 9-2-0 W1
They're 1-2 in games that tested them, but they've got 3 more out of the last 5 they have to win in order validate themselves to the rest of the league. Thier game plan isn't a secret for those willing to put in the effort to watch game film, stopping it is another story since they've sold out to a strategy that will most likely be countered in the off-season with defensive sim adjustments. Losing to the Freedom quieted them in the forum, but expect the banter to pick up again as they continue to reel off more wins.
Playoffs: Comfortably in the Grasp
5 (5) Tri-Cities Fever 8-3-0 W2
Being upset by Richmond probaly wiped out home playoff chances and they'll need to close the season out 5-0 if they want it back, but Syracuse will be standing in the way in week 16, looking to deny them that chance. They've got time to figure it out with Syrcuse, but will they choose to do it.
6 (6) Colonial Zoners 8-3-0 W2
The upset over Tri-Cities didn't happen, so they're still looking on the outside in for a home playoff game. They need a lot of help to get it and will need to pull an upset over Syrcuse or Bortsville to help. They'll be in the playoffs for sure, but of all the teams, they've got the widest range of where to land.
7 (7) Baltimore Blood Ravens 7-4-0 L1
It looks like Baltimore is still looking to get back on track, but is moving in the right direction. Losing to Syracuse and Bortsville in the stretch will label them as a default playoff team, they've got to make those games at least close.
Playoffs: On the Bubble
8 (8) Cleveland Firebirds 6-5-0 L1
I get motion sickness looking at their schedule as they continue the W, L, W, L antics. BC might break that cycle by handing them 2 losses in a row. They're going to need help the make the playoffs, but who's willing to give it?
9 (10) Chicago LMG Accountabillibuddies 5-6-0 W1
They've move up a spot in the standings got out of immediate danger and moved back into the bubble, but they've got a rough schedule to close if they want to take Clevelend's spot.
10 (9) B.C. Assassins 5-6-0 L2
The up and down streaks are going to continue, the only question is can they win the right games? So far, the answer is no.
Playoffs: Trouble Looming
Playoffs: The Fat Lady is Warming Up
11 (11) New Berlin Blitzkrieg 4-7-0 W1
They upset Charlotte to end the 4 game losing streak and three more wins are obtainable with two more highly unlikely. They'll need divine intervention since the writing is on the wall, but defeating Charlotte certainly helped thier case.
Playoffs: Late For the Party
As personal recommendation for all fo these teams, sign all level 1 cpu players to replace the high level cpu players. Nearly all cpu players play like crap, so why pay them a lot of money to play like crap? The financial savings can be used in FA or in the stadium.
12 (14) New York's Finest 2-9-0 L2
Hey, they won a game!
13 (12) Detroit Pyromaniacs 2-9-0 L7
They should beat the Grizzly's, but it's downhill from there.
14 (15) New York Grizzlys CPU 2-9-0 L1
I can't believe they actually moved up a spot.
15 (13) Charlotte Gamebreakers 1-10-0 L4
AT the bottom and still losing ground. Ooof.
16 (16) Columbus Spartans 0-11-0 L31
When will that first win happen? I'm guessing next season.
