Plan B means one of Alpine/Cinci won, and you're in a 9-7 tiebreaker, and you want teams you beat stacking those up. That's Monowi (root for them to lose) and Moose Jaw (root for them to win). After that it's a clusterfuck of possibilities. Basically the fewer teams in the tiebreak that you lost to, the better. So root for Carthage to win, and hope at least one of Alpine/Cinci loses.
Same logic holds for anyone else in the tiebreakers. No one else wants Monowi in the 9-7s (although it only matters if Lincoln is 9-7), so they're Monowi fans. Carthage and Alpine are rooting for Gunny, while Lincoln wants Moose Jaw and Cinci doesn't care. Cinci and Moose Jaw want Carthage to lose; everyone else wants them to win. Etc.
sounds....confusing.
