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(tie) Blood Bowl 14-0-0
Next opponents: #1 Charlottetown Matadors, #3 Alberta Oil Cats
Outlook: The Blood Bowl are on track to become the first team to claim two Canada BBB titles, but the trip is about to get a lot bumpier. They close the season with games against the other two of the top three Western teams
Possible seeding: #1 (win over Charlottetown / ties Charlottetown & wins tiebreaker), #2 (loss to Charlottetown & Oil Cats loses or ties), #3 (lose both & Oil Cats wins both)
1(tie) Charlottetown Matadors 14-0-0
Next opponents: #1 Blood Bowl, Yellowknife Marauders
Outlook: There are two games left in the regular season, but there's only one game that matters to Charlottetown. OK, maybe there's two.
Possible seeding: #1 (win over Blood Bowl / ties Blood Bowl & wins tiebreaker), #2 (ties Blood Bowl & loses tiebreaker / loss to Blood Bowl)
3 Alberta Oil Cats 12-2-0
Next opponents: Labrador Retrievers, #1 Blood Bowl
Outlook: The Oil Cats missed the playoffs last season by virtue of their loss to Blood Bowl. They finally get their shot at revenge to close the season.
Possible seeding: #2 (wins both & Blood Bowl loses both), #3 (multiple scenarios), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios)
4 New England Bobcats 11-3-0
Next opponents: #6 Guelph Storm, Brantford Bisons
Outlook: The perennial playoff team has made it again. New England holds the tiebreaker over Castlegar, but lost to the Oil Cats.
Possible seeding: #3 (wins both & Oil Cats loses both or loses and ties), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (loses both & Guelph wins both & Castlegar wins or ties)
5 Castlegar Crusaders 11-3-0
Next opponents: #7 Alberta Beef, Santa Destroy Heroes
Outlook: Castlegar holds a tiebreaker over the Oil Cats, which puts the Crusaders in the strange position of both being able to claim the #3 seed and facing the possibility of tumbling to the #7 seed.
Possible seeding: #3 (multiple scenarios), #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (multiple scenarios), #7 (loses both & Guelph wins both & Beef wins both & Castlegar loses both tiebreakers)
6 Guelph Storm 9-5-0
Next opponents: #4 New England Bobcats, St-Therese Nordiques
Outlook: The Storm have come a long way from last season's 3-13 finish. A win over the Bobcats would be their biggest to date.
Possible seeding: #4 (wins both & New England loses both & Castlegar loses both & Guelph wins both tiebreakers), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (multiple scenarios), #7 (multiple scenarios), #8 (multiple scenarios), out (loses both & Québec City wins both & St-Therese wins both & Alberta wins or ties & Guelph loses both tiebreakers)
7 Alberta Beef 9-5-0
Next opponents: #5 Castlegar Crusaders, new orleans ghost riders
Outlook: Essentially written-off before the season, the Beef are arguably the most surprising team in the West. A win or a tie will give the city of Alberta a second playoff-bound team.
Possible seeding: #5 (wins both & Castlegar loses both & Guelph wins both & New England wins or ties & Beef win both tiebreakers), #6 (multiple scenarios), #7 (multiple scenarios), #8 (multiple scenarios), out (loses both & Guelph loses both & Québec City wins both & St-Therese wins both & Beef lose all tiebreakers)
8 Québec City Dirtbags 7-7-0
Next opponents: Yellowknife Marauders, Montreal Death Shroud
Outlook: The Dirtbags hold the tiebreaker over St-Therese, and are more likely to make the playoffs than miss them, but the possibility remains.
Possible seeding: #6 (wins both & St-Therese wins both & Guelph loses both & Beef lose both & Québec City wins four-way tiebreaker), #7 (multiple scenarios), #8 (multiple scenarios), out (multiple scenarios)
St-Therese Nordiques 7-7-0
Next opponents: Vancouver Eagles, #6 Guelph Storm
Outlook: Several seasons of mismanagement have resulted in the Nordiques being the only original BBB#12 team left to have never made the playoffs. The outlook for this season isn't much brighter.
Possible seeding: #6 (wins both & Québec City wins both & Guelph loses both & Beef lose both & St-Therese wins four-way tiebreaker), #7 (multiple scenarios), #8 (multiple scenarios), out (loses & Québec City wins or ties, multiple scenarios)
Vancouver Eagles 5-9-0
Next opponents: St-Therese Nordiques, Labrador Retrievers
Outlook: The Eagles will need a miracle in order to make this season's playoffs.
Possible seeding: #8 (win both & Québec City loses both & St-Therese loses both & Vancouver wins both tiebreakers), out (all other scenarios)
Eliminated from postseason:
Yellowknife Marauders 4-10-0
Santa Destroy Heroes 3-11-0
Montreal Death Shroud 3-11-0
Brantford Bisons 2-12-0
new orleans ghost riders 2-12-0
