Rather create a new thread each time, I will just edit and bump this one.
An "X" denotes" clinched playoff berth. "Y" denotes clinched a home playoff game. "Z" denotes clinched East regular season title.
Current Edition: Week 16
Note: "quality win" is defined as a win over another team in my top 10. If a team drops out of the top 10, I will still leave them on the quality wins list.
Z 1. Miami Hammerheads (14-1) Previous #1
Miami gets one last romp-over before the playoffs start. The only mystery left for them is their first postseason opponent. Quality wins: Maine, Atlanta, Montana, Makos, Houghton, Vice City, New Orleans, Buffalo. Losses: Red River.
Y 2. Houghton Gremlins (13-2) Previous: #3
Barring an upset at the hands of VC, Houghton will be the #2 seed. They were pushed by a quality RR team, so a nice win there. If they win this week, the Gremlins will get Atlanta first. Quality wins: Red River, New Orleans, Montana, Atlanta, Maine. Losses: Miami Hammerheads, Miami Makos.
X 3. Red River Chiefs (12-3) Previous: #2
Difficult loss this week and that losing streak puts a home game in jeopardy. They have to beat the Makos to host a game. If They lose, they play in Miami. Either way they will likely play the Makos twice in a row. Quality wins: VC, Maine, Hammerheads, Atlanta, Poison. Losses: Buffalo, Montana.
Y 4. Montana Grizzlies (12-3) Previous: #4
A very nice win against Maine clinches a home game for the Grizzlies, even with a loss to Bowdoin, which is virtually impossible. They Grizzlies are locked into playing Maine first unless VC pulls an upset against Houghton. Quality wins: Maine, Buffalo, Vice City, Red River, New Orleans. Losses: Hammerheads, Makos, Gremlins.
X 5. Miami Makos (12-3) Previous: #5
Huge game against RR this week in terms of a home game (see above). Quality wins: Montana, Maine, Houghton, Vice City. Losses: Hammerheads, Atlanta.
X 6. Maine Hawks (10-5) Previous: #6
Still #6, as it has been for most of the season--at least I got that much right! Will play the Grizzlies again barring the much-discussed VC upset possibility. Quality wins: Atlanta, New Orleans, Bowdoin. Losses: Montana, Hammerheads, RR, Houghton, Makos.
X 7. Atlanta Wolves (9-6) Previous #7
Atlanta really needed to beat the Poison and they came through in a very close game. This clinches the playoffs and the #7 seed, regardless of their outcome with Pittsburgh. Quality Wins: VC, NO, Buffalo, Makos. Losses: Grizzlies, Hammerheads, Maine, Houghton, Las Vegas, Red River.
8. Vice City Mambas (8-7) Previous #10
VC again plays leap frog in the very minor upset over Buffalo. If they don't beat Houghton this week it is all for naught however as Buffalo has a gimme. Quality wins: Buffalo. Losses: Hawks, Red River, Montana, Makos, Wolves and Hammerheads.
9. Buffalo Beasts (8-7) Previous: #8
Images of the Music City Miracle resonate as Buffalo could have clinched a playoff spot and threatened for #7 with a win (ya, I know MCM was a playoff game). They have an auto-win this week but do not control their own destiny as they await VC's result. Quality wins: Red River. Losses: Montana, Hammerheads, Hawks, Gremlins, Makos and Wolves.
10. New Orleans Poison (7-8) Previous #9
With their heart-breaking loss, NO is eliminated from playoff contention. Quality wins: Makos, Bowdoin. Losses: Atlanta, Gremlins, Vice City, Red River, Hawks, Hammerheads, Grizzlies.
