1. Dublin, 14-0
- Where they stand: All alone at the top.
- Playoff situation: Need one win to clinch the #1 seed.
- Remaining schedule: at Sinsheim (3-11), Belgian (7-7)
- Prediction: 16-0, #1 seed.

2. London, 13-1
- Where they stand: All alone in 2nd. 1 game out of 1st, 2 games in front of 3rd.
- Playoff situation: Need to win out and have Dublin lose 2 for the #1 seed. One win will clinch #2 seed. Could finish as low as 4th.
- Remaining schedule: Barcelona (3-11), at Dresden (11-3)
- Prediction: 15-1, #2 Seed

3. Malta, 11-3
- Where they stand: Tied with Dresden for 3rd, have the tiebreaker with a win.
- Playoff situation: Can take #2 seed by winning out, London losing 2, and having most points scored of the three 13-3 teams. One win clinches a home playoff game.
- Remaining schedule: at Blackpool (1-13), Western Europe (8-6)
- Prediction: 13-3, #3 Seed

4. Dresden, 11-3.
- Where they stand: Tied for 3rd, lost to Malta.
- Playoff situation: Can be #2 by winning out, having London lose to Barcelona, and having most points scored of the three 13-3 teams. They lose tiebreakers to both Malta and Hollywood, so their magic number is two against Hollywood to clinch a home playoff game... There is no Strong I Slam exploit this season to use against London Buer... sorry
- Remaining schedule: at Western Europe (8-6), London (13-1)
- Prediction: 12-4, #5 Seed. Although I think they can beat any team in this conference at any time, I think London will win the week 16 matchup.

5. Hollywood, 10-4
- Where they stand: All alone in 5th.
- Playoff situation: They can get a home playoff game by winning out and having Dresden lose to London or Western Europe, or Malta losing 2 games. They have a tiebreaker against Dresden, but lose tiebreakers to Malta and Mandi's. They have clinched a playoff spot already.
- Remaining schedule: at Maranello (6-8), Blackpool (1-13)
- Prediction: 12-4, #4 seed

6. Mandi's, 9-5
- Where they stand: All alone in 6th.
- Playoff situation: Nothing clinched yet. If they lose 2 and end up tied with Belgian, they lose the tiebreaker. One win or Belgian loss clinches the playoffs for them.
- Remaining schedule: Brighton (6-8), at Jellystone (0-14)
- Prediction: 11-5, #6 seed

7. Western Europe, 8-6
- Where they stand: All alone in 7th. 1 game ahead of the teams tied for 8th.
- Playoff situation: Need 1 win to clinch a playoff spot. Have the tiebreaker against Belgian but lose tiebreaker to Birmingham.
- Remaining schedule: Dresden (11-3), at Malta (11-3)
- Prediction: 8-8, #8 seed.

8. Birmingham, 7-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 8th, 1 game out of 7th and 1 game ahead of 10th.
- Playoff situation: Can clinch a playoff spot by winning out. Have tiebreaker against everyone who they could end up tied with.
- Remaining schedule: at Cork (3-11), Sinsheim (3-11)
- Prediction: 9-7, #7 seed.

9. Belgian, 7-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 8th, lost to Birmingham.
- Playoff situation: They need to win out and get help to make the playoffs. Lose tiebreakers to any teams ahead of them that they can catch.
- Remaining schedule: Jellystone (0-14), at Dublin (14-0)
- Prediction: 8-8, out of playoffs due to week 5 loss to Western Europe. This is a playoff caliber team (having beaten two playoff teams in Malta and Mandi's, and lost by 1 point to Canterbury in week 1) who will not make the playoffs.

Unfortunately, there are 9 worthy playoff teams. Belgian misses out because of their inconsistency. They beat two playoff teams in Malta and Mandi's, but lost games to non playoff team Maranello, plus bubble teams Birmingham and Western Europe.

10 & 11. Maranello & Brighton, 6-8.
- Playoff situation: I put both teams together because they play against each other in the last game of the season. The team that wins that game will have a chance at the playoffs, but they will need a LOT of help. Maranello has a tiebreaker against only Belgian ahead of them. Brighton has no tiebreakers.
- Remaining schedule: Maranello has Hollywood (10-4) next week, and Brighton has Mandi's (9-5). So, to have a chance at the playoffs, they will need to beat a playoff team.
- Prediction. I predict both teams will lose their week 15 games, and end up out of the playoffs next week. I think Maranello will win the meaningless week 16 matchup.

With the exception of the Wildcat/Berlin games... a lot of tough games for the conference leaders here. Seeds are going to be determined in the week 16 games for sure. Wish I'd been watching Zeta all season, as this looks like a really fun race to the finish.

1. Wildcat, 14-0
- Where they stand: All alone in 1st.
- Playoff situation: Need to win against Chernobyl in week 16 to clinch #1 seed, as that win would give them tiebreakers against both 13-1 teams.
- Remaining schedule: Berlin (0-14), at Chernobyl (13-1)

2. Brussels, 13-1
- Where they stand: Tied for 2nd, with win over Chernobyl.
- Playoff situation: Can clinch #1 seed by winning out, seeing Chernobyl beat Wildcat in week 16, and having the most points scored of the 3 teams.
- Remaining schedule: at Disciples (10-4), Stuuttgart (12-2)

3. Chernobyl, 13-1
- Where they stand: Tied for 2nd, with loss to Brussels.
- Playoff situation: Can clinch #1 seed by winning out and having the most points scored of the three 15-1 teams or win out and Brussels loses a game.
- Remaining schedule: at Stuuttgart (12-2), Wildcat (14-0)

4. Stuuttgart, 12-2
- Where they stand: All alone in 4th.
- Playoff situation: Have clinched a home playoff game. Can't take the #1 seed, but could still end up with #2 seed, by winning out.
- Remaining schedule: Chernobyl (13-1), at Brussels (13-1)

5. Disciples, 10-4
- Where they stand: All alone in 5th.
- Playoff situation: Can't make 4th, with Stuuttgart having the tiebreaker with a win against Disciples. Win one and they clinch the 5th seed. Have tiebreaker against both 9-5 teams.
- Remaining schedule: Brussels (13-1), at Hawaii (1-13)

6. Zurich, 9-5
- Where they stand: Tied for 6th, have the tiebreaker with more points scored than Canterbury.
- Playoff situation: Clinched a playoff spot. Win out and they guarantee #6 seed.
- Remaining schedule: at Canterbury (9-5), Greenville (4-10)

7. Canterbury, 9-5
- Where they stand: Tied for 6th, lose tiebreaker with Zurich due to points scored.
- Playoff situation: Clinched a playoff spot. Win out and they guarantee #6 seed.
- Remaining schedule: Zurich (9-5), at Milan (2-12)

8. Noregr, 7-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 8th, points tiebreaker against Dresden.
- Playoff situation: Win out and clinch a playoff spot. Week 16 game vs. Dresden looks to be the key to the #8 seed.
- Remaining schedule: Hawaii (1-13), at Dresden (7-7)

9. Dresden, 7-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 8th, lose points tiebreaker to Noregr.
- Playoff situation: Win out and clinch a playoff spot. Week 16 game vs. Noregr looks to be the key to the #8 seed.
- Remaining schedule: at Greenville (4-10), Noregr (7-7)

Week 16 has several big games in Zeta. Wildcat vs Chernobyl will almost definitely determine the #1 seed... Brussels vs. Sttuutgart will have some effect on the top 4 seeds. Then you have the Noregr at Dresden game. That game will decide the final playoff spot, no matter what happens in week 15. Going to be fun to watch these next two weeks.

Another quick note on Zeta:

Here are the current points scored for the top 3 Zeta teams (in case of a 3 way tie at the top):

Chernobyl: 1501
Wildcat: 1472
Brussels: 1470

Considering Wildcat is going to play Berlin in week 15, while both Chernobyl and Brussels have tough games, I would say that Wildcat has all but clinched the #1 seed. If they score 200+, they are going to basically be out of reach, and everyone is playing for 2nd.

Yes, it is. Next time, he'll know what he's talking about before he posts, I hope. The point is simple... don't post something that is wrong. Worse, don't correct information that is correct with incorrect information.

I'm happy to take the time to do this stuff, and I'm even OK with being corrected when I'm wrong. A pet peeve of mine is people giving bad or incorrect information...

Great write-up 7.

Canterbury, 9-5
- Where they stand: Tied for 6th, lose tiebreaker with Zurich due to points scored.
- Playoff situation: Clinched a playoff spot. Win out and they guarantee #6 seed.
- Remaining schedule: Zurich (9-5), at Milan (2-12)

Looks like we will be in 6th..... Big win for use today. We share the same sentiments that Saints has expressed. After starting 3-0 we dropped 5 straight. We had to win 7 in a row to get to this point.

P.S. Saints is a better OC than I am.... I could not get those numbers out of his QB when I had him on the Amazon Cannibals last year.
