ZETA Playoff Projection time....same methodology as Alpha projections, although no CPU owned teams means much more chaos...
Only one team has mathematically clinched at this time:
Biloxi Voodoo
Record: 10-1
Assumed Safe Wins: 4 (Turin, Cleethorpes, Milan, Madrid)
Questionable Games: 1 (Westminster 14)
Assumed Losses: 0
Projected Final Record: 14.5-1.5
Best Case: 15-1
Worst Case: 14-2
Odds of making playoffs: 100%
Likewise, only one team is mathematically eliminated:
Metalshop Axes - best possible record of 6-10 has no shot
However, 5 teams are on major life support:
Cleethorpes Dock Wallopers - 7 losses and a game against Biloxi to go...need to run the rest and hope 8-8 makes it...
Barcelona Badasses - 7 losses already and games against Chutaba and Taranto...need an upset, clean wins in the rest, and some help
Milan Shock - 7 losses already, games against Taranto and Biloxi...an upset, clean wins, and help needed.
Turin Dogs - 8 losses already, would need to upset Biloxi, win the rest clean, and get a lot of help
Essen Verivalta - No "Sure loss" games left, but 8 losses already...need to run the board, but doing so might just make it, but probably not.
So...there are 9 teams realistically in the hunt for 7 playoff births. In decreasing order of making it:
