I intend to edit this first post after game time with the changes till season end. Hmm this ended up with a ton of things still up in the air, which I didn't expect with only 3 games left. Thursday will hopefully make things less of an issue so I can cover the scenarios.

Alpha:
1-3 Knossos Minotaurs(13-2-0) - Bergen left to play. .
1,2(,3) Yorkshire Knights(13-2-0) - Kings of Yorkshire game. They need a Knossos loss to have a shot at the 1 seed.
2-4 Dublin Druids(12-3-0) - Time to face the the other beserkers, Iceland. This is a fight for high seeding on both sides, as well as an unlikely but possible champion game preview.
2-4 Fareham Demons(12-3-0) - A big game vs Stirling. Challenging Dublin v Iceland for cross conference week game to watch? Another unlikely but possible champion game preview.
5-6 Montcuq Berserker Trolls(11-4-0) - Antwerp needs a win for the Trolls. The Trolls need a win to not worry about things. A loss puts them up with a possible H2H loser with America's Most Wanted. They have the Points Scored Tie breaker if it becomes a 3 way 11-4 matchup.
6-8 Black Watch(10-5-0) - Milano left to play. They own the H2H vs America.
5,7,8 America's Most Wanted(10-5-0) - Pamplona left to play. They have an unlikely shot at a 5th seed.
Vice City Crack Whores(9-6-0) - Cross conference is a must win vs Glasglow.
Dorset Stampede(9-6-0) - Need a win vs a tough Bath team, and for Vice City to lose.

Zeta:
1(,3) Spaniard Quebrantagüesos(13-2-0) - If they beat either Glasgow or Rennes they lock in one of the top two spots, winning both games locks in #1, none of the 11-3 teams has the H2H vs the Spaniards.
2-4 Wales Whales(12-3-0) - London, going to beat up on a team that just squeaked out their first win.
(1,)2-3 Bergen Op Zoom Sneaky Buffalo(12-3-0) - Aschaffenberg from the other conference. Needs an unlikely Wales loss for that #2 spot. They might have tiny broken code shot at #1 if Spain loses, while Wales and BOZ win(Points Scored tie breaker, if it doesn't H2H when 3 teams are tied...does anyone know for sure that it only tie breakers when one of the 3 teams didn't beat the other two? I would be damn pissed if I was the Quebrantagüesos and that happened.)
4-6 Iceland Berserkers(11-4-0) - Dublin still on their schedule. One of two big name cross conference games.
4-5 Stirling Crusaders(11-4-0) - Fareham left to play. They really need to win both to have a shot at the higher seeds.
5-6 Yorkshire Rippers(11-4-0) - crosstown team to play. They need all the wins they can get at this point.
7-8 Bath Killer Bees(9-6-0) - A playoff hungry Dorset to play. These guys lost the H2H vs Bergen. Going out there and beat Dorset means they don't have to worry about anything. I still bet some of them are pulling for Knosses this week.
FF-FD Satellite(8-7-0) - They need to beat Munich. If the Bees lose, and FF-FD and Bergen win we get into Points scored tied breaker that leaves FF-FD out in the cold.
Bergen Black Bears(8-7-0) - Knossos for the cross week. They can get a 7 seed with a win here and lose for the Bees. I am sure these guys are pulling for Munich to have a big game as well.
Antwerp Jokers(7-8-0) - Antwerp needs to beat Montcuq, and pray. They have the H2H tie breaker againist FF-FD, and Bergen, but they need both teams to lose for to matter.

* = Locked in a playoff spot, # = Locked in that seed, (#) possible seeds if system is broken and goes to tie breakers right away on 3+ way ties. I don't think this happens but in another league someone told me it was happening(with no proof - I hate playing GLB Forum Telephone).

I looked at doing this after week 12, figured 4 games left should start to give some set stores. Looked at everything and said hell no, things should get better next game. So I started writing this, then saw the situation is still this big cluster.

Great for the league, not so great for my Howard Cosell attempt on the play off runs.

Like how so many teams our waiting for an Antwerp Loss to lock down their play off spots. Really, the team has been an anomaly all season. Wont be an issue next season. No more Antwerp Jokers.

I'd love to see the Jokers run the table from here out, it only helps my team. Trust me I pulling for you.

The Whales and Rippers can both lock in a spot in the playoffs by beating you. Stirling needs someone else to beat you, as you guys beat them head to head.

What I find interesting(as I did this last season for A6) is Alpha is fighting for playoff seeds, and the last playoff spot, where as Zeta at least on paper is still largely wideopen for playoff spots.

With the Satellites win over Bergen Black Bears, the Satellite is on the way to the playoff

We lost to the Beserkers. They downgraded DTs, which killed our chances this season. We need something special for the playoffs.

Though just looking at it, with less than a minute go to, on 4th and 2.5 on opponent 8 yard line.... down by 7..... we kick a field goal.

Stupid AI

Based on the remaining schedule looks like the Satellite have the last playoff spot.

They play a gutted team and a 4 win team.

The bears play Bath and Knossos

We got the Rippers and Montcuq

Cant help but feel a little bitter about the season considering we might miss the playoffs on two missed xps.

Still hell of a playoff race.

Not out yet, but looks hard.
