A lot of questions will be answered after today's results, so I'll update the scenarios then.
Western Conference/Conférence de l'Ouest
1 Unconventional Warfare 14-0-0
Next opponents: Calgary Thunder, #6 Blood Bowl
Outlook: A win over Calgary locks up the #1 seed for the Warfare. Anyone think they won't do it? I didn't think so.
Possible seeding: #1 (win or tie), #2 (lose both & Windsor wins both or wins and ties / lose and tie & Windsor wins both / the Detroit Lions win Super Bowl XLI)
2 Windsor Black Knights 13-1-0
Next opponents: Regina Mounties CPU, Ottawa Riders
Outlook: The current GLB World BBB-A champions done good this season. Now it's cruise time until the playoffs.
Possible seeding: #1 (win both & Warfare loses both or loses and ties / win and tie & Warfare loses both / GaDawg ponies up for the Hall of Fame flex point package and DD decides to reward him with a re-sim of the Warfare game), #2 (most scenarios)
3 Saskatoon Silverbacks 11-3-0
Next opponents: Yukon Nightmare, Regina Mounties CPU
4-way tiebreaker: 3-0 (defeated Medicine Hat, Edmonton, Blood Bowl)
Outlook: The Silverbacks are in the catbird seat, holding the necessary tiebreakers for any scenario. All they have to do is hold serve and the #3 seed is theirs.
Possible seeding: #3 (multiple scenarios), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (multiple scenarios)
4 Medicine Hat Blackfoots 11-3-0
Next opponents: Victoria Mule Train, #5 Edmonton Slashers
4-way tiebreaker: 1-1 (defeated Blood Bowl, lost to Saskatoon)
Outlook: rockne1013 has announced that this is the final season for the Blackfoots, and they have a chance to go out on a high note. A win over Edmonton would give them the best chance for a home playoff game.
Possible seeding: #3 (multiple scenarios), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (multiple scenarios)
5 Edmonton Slashers 11-3-0
Next opponents: #6 Blood Bowl, #4 Medicine Hat Blackfoots
4-way tiebreaker: 0-1 (lost to Saskatoon)
Outlook: The Slashers are in a four-way race for the middle four seeds. The good news is that they've only lost to one of the other three teams. The bad news is that they still have to play the other two.
Possible seeding: #3 (multiple scenarios), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (multiple scenarios)
6 Blood Bowl 11-3-0
Next opponents: #5 Edmonton Slashers, #1 Unconventional Warfare
4-way tiebreaker: 0-2 (lost to Saskatoon, Medicine Hat)
Outlook: The loss to the Blackfoots has dropped the season 8 BBB #12 champs into a four-way tie where they are at a disadvantage. A win over Edmonton could give them a much-needed edge, but closing the season against the undefeated Warfare could take that edge away.
Possible seeding: #3 (multiple scenarios), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (multiple scenarios)
7 St. John Saints 8-6-0
Next opponents: Kelowna Outlaws, Charlottetown Matadors
Outlook: Despite a four-game losing streak, the Saints have secured a playoff berth. These two games against teams that are well out of playoff contention should give St. John some momentum heading into a likely first-round game against Windsor.
Possible seeding: #7 (win / Victoria loses), #8 (Elvis records a duet album with Tupac)
8 Victoria Mule Train 7-7-0
Next opponents: #4 Medicine Hat Blackfoots, Saskatoon Vulcanos
Outlook: All Victoria needs to clinch the final playoff seed is a win and a Vulcanos loss, but getting that win won't be easy.
Possible seeding: #7 (McDonald's eliminates hamburgers from their menu), #8 (win & Vulcanos lose / multiple scenarios), out (lose both / lose & Vulcanos win both)
Wellington Wolf Pack 6-8-0
Next opponents: Saskatoon Vulcanos, Yukon Nightmare
Outlook: The Wolf Pack already lost to the Mule Train, so they'll need some help to jump ahead of Victoria. Lose to the Vulcanos and all bets are off.
Possible seeding: #8 (multiple scenarios), out (lose to Vulcanos / Victoria wins & Vulcanos lose both)
Saskatoon Vulcanos 6-8-0
Next opponents: Wellington Wolf Pack, Victoria Mule Train
Outlook: The Vulcanos have their backs against the wall. A loss to Wellington effectively eliminates them, as they can't win a three-way tiebreaker on points.
Possible seeding: #8 (win both), out (lose / tie)
Eliminated from postseason:
Yukon Nightmare 5-9-0
Calgary Thunder 5-9-0
Charlottetown Matadors 2-12-0
Kelowna Outlaws 2-12-0
Regina Mounties CPU 2-12-0
Ottawa Riders 0-14-0
