Playoff seeds subject to change.
# 8 Carolina Cardiac Cats (8-7-0) at #1 Margaritaville Fins (15-0-0)
The Fins have dominated all year and it’s no surprise they’re the number 1 seed. Only two close games all season. Waco was gunning for them in week 6 but the Fins came out on top, then in week 14, upset alert sounded as the Roadfrogs almost knocked them off.
Carolina has had an up and down year and was on the edge to make the playoffs, but they’re in now. Lead by running back Brick Powerage throughout the year, he’ll need to step it up in the playoffs.
Previous meeting: The Fins shut out Carolina in week 5 and put up 45, the Cats have improved, but the Fins still seem untouchable.
#7 Harrisburg Hawks (8-7-0) at #2 North Side Dream Killers (14-1-0)
Certainly deserving of their second seed, there only loss was to the Fins and they’ll be out for revenge in the playoffs. Lead by quarterback Joe Remington, they have an amazing offense and will use that in the playoffs.
Hawks started out picked to finish 15th in the conference, and have built into a great team. Lead by the receiving attack of tight end Mewan Esvaf, they have one of the best passing offenses in the league, but Kristofer Swift has shown he can run the ball well late in the season.
Previous meeting: Hawks fell in week 7 by 33 points. They’ll be out for revenge but are outmatched by North Side. Hawks might be able to make it a close one with a much improved defense and rushing game.
#6 Waco Green Puffers (11-4-0) at #3 New Hampshire Dragons (12-3-0)
New Hampshire ended the season with three very tough, very close games, losing to Waco in week 15. Prior to that, an impressive streak gave them their seeding. Losses from the Fins and Dream Killers were expected, but the Dream Killers loss was very close.
Waco started out 5-0 and fell to the Fins in a close one. Waco has great wide receivers and will look to use their passing game in the playoffs. Waco lost a couple close ones as the season winded down, but is ready for the playoffs.
Previous meeting: Teams met in week 15 with Waco winning by 16. Waco rushed a lot but put up over 200 yards with the passing game, averaging 9.2 yards per pass. New Hampshire will have to game plan well if they want to change the outcome of the rematch.
#5 Chicago Pterodactyls (11-4-0) at #4 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (11-4-0)
Scarlet Knights: Rutgers is one of the best teams in the league with few player weaknesses. All but one of their four losses were very close games, and the blowout loss came from the Fins. Rutgers was certainly hoping for a better seed but the close losses have come back to haunt them.
Chicago matches up very well with Rutgers, there losses came in similar ways, all very close games. Chicago dominated 3 out of 4 of their last games and will hope to keep the momentum going into the playoffs.
Previous meeting: Rutgers took the first one by 6 in a close one in week 6. Chicago didn’t have their offense rolling til later in the season though so this game could be a good one.
Missing Out
#9 Atchafalaya Swamp Weretigers (6-8-1)
Tough season for Atchafalaya, needing to win near the end of the year, went 2-5 to end the conference season. They’ll hope to win their out of conference season ending game to put a positive note on a tough season.
#10 Washington Poison (5-8-2)
Washington hasn’t improved much over the year and will need to make major improvements in the offseason. 4 of their 5 wins were against teams not making the playoffs.
#11 Jacksonville Stars (5-10-0)
Jacksonville has built an impressive offense, but needs serious improvement on defense to be competitive. They also need to figure out how to use that offense to put up points, one of the lowest scoring teams in the league.
#12 Orlando Ninjas (3-11-1)
Orlando has a respectable offense, but their defense is lacking. Save from relegation, but need to improve for next year to stick around.
#13 Miami Roadfrogs (3-12-0)
Miami has built up their defense, but their offense isn’t necessarily outstanding. The highlight of their season should be their game planning against Margaritaville. Predicted to get rocked against the Fins, their tactics made it a close one. Their offense just couldn’t get them the win.
#14 Cleveland Kardiac Kids (3-12-0)
Cleveland is one of the weakest teams in the conference, without serious improvement all over, they may not win a game next year. They’ll dodge relegation this year unless they lose their out of conference matchup.
Gone Next Year
#15 Pocono Mountain Highlanders (2-13-0)
Pocono has lost twelve games to end their conference season, with wins over Cleveland and Miami there aren’t many positives for their first year. They can stick around if Cleveland loses their last game and Pocono wins theirs. They don’t need as much improvement as Cleveland, but certainly need a lot.
#16 Elk Rapids Elks (1-14-0)
Only victory was a one point win over Pocono Mountain, defense needs a ton of work and their quarterback needs some targets to throw to and a running game to take the load off his shoulders. They’re destined for the BBB leagues and need to improve to be competitive there.
