Alpha Conference
1. Sparta Battle Chickens - In. They've pretty much already clinched a playoff spot and look to be the top seed in Alpha. A real shot at a championship this year.
2. Romania Roadhouse Rowdies - In. They'll make it in. The question is at what seed? One loss could really change their direction.
3. Rotterdam Rampage - With three teams tied in the standings the 2, 3, and 4 spots are up for grabs. Will they get a lesser opponent or lose one in the regular season and have to play a very similar squad. Could they win a close game?
4. Chernobyl Disaster - They too are at the 8-2 record and have improved greatly over the course of the season. The questions remain, but one of the biggest is will they have anything left in the tank at the end?
5. East Berlin Blitzkrieg - They are currently sitting at the 5 spot, but a single loss by 2, 3, or 4 and they could find themselves moving up a few spots and leap frogging some of those teams.
6. The Dark Knights - At 6-4 they need to make sure they take care of business for the rest of the season. If not, one little slip, could send them tumbling out of the playoff picture.
7. Liverpool Poison - They are in the exact same boat as The Dark Knights. The question here is can they win the important games to assure themselves a playoff push?
8. Minnesota Warriors - They need to just about win out to assure themselves a spot. Sure, they could lose a game or two and still get in, but they would be sweating bullets the whole way.
ON THE CUSP - Potential Playoff Teams - Moscow Red Army, Krakow Krakodiles, Nizhny Novgorod Bulldogs
CLOSE TO ELIMINATION - Need Serious Help To Get In - Diaper Vipers, Minsk Fire
ALL BUT ELIMINATED - Green Bay Cheese Heads, Chernobyl CHUDS, Texas City Storm
------------------------------------------------------------
ZETA CONFERENCE
1. Hungary Hungry Hippos - Can they be stopped? They've rolled through Zeta and have scored the most points of both conferences.
2. Brown Bay Packers - A very tough squad that is fighting with Hungary for the top spot in the conference. Could they be a champion in the making?
3. Spanish Inquisition - A tough squad that has taken off running as of late. They started out rough with a couple of losses, but have turned it on as of late. Tough schedule ahead of them.
4. Belgrade Bears - The Bears are going to be fighting for position in the playoffs. They need to secure a few more victories to secure their positioning. But there is no way they don' make it.
5. Athens Gods - Athens has surprised many, many teams this year. On paper, they don't look like much. However, where they lack in level they make up for in game planning. Can they keep this momentum? Will they have anything left in the tank come playoff time? They need to make sure they keep winning because a few losses could find them playing Hungary or Brown Bay in the first round.
6. Targoviste Impalers - They need to make sure they win some more games. They should make the playoffs but at what position?
7. River City Ransom - They have been on a downward spiral as of late. They need to make sure they win some more games or they could find themselves on the outside looking in.
8. Warsaw Sabotage - Warsaw leap frogged Barcelona this weekand having taken the final spot in the playoffs. Can they keep it up? They have given up almost as many points as they have gained this year.
ON THE CUSP - Potential Playoff Teams - Barcelona Chupacabras
CLOSE TO ELIMINATION - Need Serious Help To Get In - Boston Piggers, Crete Minotaurs
ALL BUT ELIMINATED - Odessa Pipers, Bergen Storm, Moscow Maniacs, Macedonian Phalanx
ELIMINATED - New Orleans Jazz
