All 16 games are now posted. This should be fun to see... Will I end up with more correct picks, or will lostinkorea reign victorious over the predictions?

Stay tuned to find out!

good job sully, one thing i dont think youve counted in is that LOU has already beaten FT. WORTH so even if the "reborn" cajuns last week was just a taste of what i meant by "reborn" there is more to come. but at 9-6, and in 7th and with minn and ft worth both at 8-7, even if the cajuns lose and go to 9-7 and both minn and ft.worth win to get to 9-7 then wouldnt minn jump lou to the 7th seed and ft. worth miss out at 9th because of the head to head matchups?? minn beat lou, ft worth beat minn, and lou beat ft worth. now if the tie-breaker is head to head then that would make louisiana's spot already locked up, with minn playing for 7 seed and ft. worth playing for 8th seed??? unless head to head inst the tie-breaker then i believe louisiana has either the 7th or 8th spot already secured... and a possible re-match with atl waiting in the first round....

nope... if all three teams have a record of 9-7 then it would go down to points scored

basically, the Cajuns are garanteed a spot unless either FW or MIN can score like 70 points and the Cajuns score none if I remember

Well, here's the deal:

Minnesota beat Louisiana, so MN > LA
Louisiana beat Fort Worth, so LA > FW
Fort Worth beat Minnesota, so FW > MN

If Louisiana loses, Fort Worth wins, and Minnesota wins, nobody wins the "head to head" tiebreaker. At that point it goes to points scored, and I believe the two highest scoring teams would get the nod.

As of right now, we have:
Louisiana - 281 points
Fort Worth - 215 points
Minnesota - 210 points

From there, you can see what would need to be done in order to overtake a team in points scored.

Based on rudimentary calculation and scenario analysis, here are the odds of making the playoffs for the remaining WC teams:
Louisiana - 95.83% (79.16% 7th seed, 16.66% 8th seed)
Fort Worth - 70.83% (4.16% 7th seed, 66.66% 8th seed)
Minnesota - 33.33% (16.66% 7th seed, 16,66% 8th seed)

Edit - Percentages fixed. Enjoy!
