1) Rhinos - Unless they happen to lose their last game, they have this locked up.

2) Seychelles - They can throw the game against Sahara and they won't move because of the head-to-head tiebreaker over Nairobi. They can only move up to #1 if Pangani pulls another upset.

3) Nairobi - Only two losses are to #1 and 2. Have tiebreaker over ASM.

4) ASM - Lost to the team ahead, so they can't pass Nairobi even with a Warthog loss. They also can't be caught by the teams trailing. So, Lion #1-4 are pretty much set.

5) Dar es Salaam Warrior Kings - barring and upsets by Sahara, Dar es Salaam should win and move to this spot and face a tough 1st round draw in ASM.

6) Sahara - They keep this spot so long as Rwanda Royal Knights do not beat Nairobi. If they can pull of an upset against long time rival Seychelles, they will remain in the #5 spot they currently hold.

7) Rwanda Royal Knights - This team has a tough matchup, but could grab the 5 spot by upsetting Nairobi and having both Sahara and Dar es Salaam lose. Not likely to have all of that happen, but I've seen crazier happen.

8) Ethiopian Devils - While they are currently ranked #11, I see them winning their game while the two teams tied with them will lose their games to Dar es Salaam and ASM.

Unfortunately, even if we, the Ridgebacks could pull off an upset tomorrow, something we've gotten so close to doing several times this season, that would likely put us in a 2 way tie with Devils and they in the 8 spot. We need a 3 way tie to make it in. Come on Mountaineers, we're pulling for you.

Nice job Devils.

Thanks, I'm pulling for us too! We pretty much controlled our destiny over the last two games this season of making it into the playoffs our first season in the pros which I dont think is too shabby. Getting a win today will prove difficult without a doubt.

Great analysis - but somehow Rwanda snuck into that 6th seed. Any way you slice it, seeds 5-8 have their work cut out for them.
