With 4 games to go, there is still potential for a lot of movement at the top in the East.

Currently Boston and St Paul are tied at 11-1 and switch places week to week based on strength of schedule.

The Mobsters and Scorpions are tied at 10-2 right behind them.

The next 3 games feature each of the top 4 playing 2 of the others.

Week 13 the Mobsters will play the Scorpions

Week 14 the Vulcans play the Mobsters while the Bears play the Scorpions

Week 15 the Vulcans and Bears play each other.

There can still be a lot of shuffling around or the winner of the week 15 match-up between Houston (who beat the Scorpions) and the Presidents (who beat the Mobsters) could very well sneak into the home playoff picture.

Still a lot of football to play this week.

And this is where the West comes in and says that it does not matter who wins the East

That's right, you guys at the top beat the heck out off each other so the Toxins can slip into a home play off game after being snubbed from the play offs last season with only 7 wins!

I will be amazed if the Mobsters come through the next 4 games with a home playoff, too tough a close to the season.

Wishing you were still young? Because the lack of wittiness in your comments doesn't help shed the latter from your name.

Because I felt like it. Why call somebody stupid without cause. It was obvious he was speaking in jest and you were the only one who brought stupidity into it.

Of course, I was the only one that replied.

I also called myself stupid. But I understand, Hero. Justice has been served.

Easy guys. Of course my comment was a joke; and I didn't take offense at matsellah's comment. I expected something like that.

Two games to go -- First and second place should be determined in the Week 15 matchup between Boston and St Paul.

The Toxins have jumped up into 3rd place for now -- winning the tie breaker with Phoenix at 11-3.

Right behind them at 10-4 are the Presidents and Mobsters.


Jacksonville is in but only moves up to 6th if the Presidents move down to them.

A win by a slumping Sleepy Hollow team would eliminate 3 of the 4 teams chasing them -- any of whom may pull an upset of some of the top 6 teams to further jumble the standings.

Anything other than a loss by the All-Americans coupled with a win by Sleepy Hollow in Week 15 puts both teams in a must-win situation in Week 16 -- NCAA vs Boston and the Horsemen vs the Mobsters.

After 15 games, the home playoff teams are set.

Boston and St Paul are locked in as the #1 and #2 seeds.

The only movement among the home teams can be in the 3rd and 4th seeds if the Toxins were to lose and allow the Scorpions to move past them.

The future of the 4 away teams will have to be determined in week 16.

Five teams are still in the running for the 4 positions and several scenarios can play out.

The Presidents and Mobsters are tied at 10-5 with Jacksonville one game behind but with a tie-breaker over the Presidents.

A Mobster win guarantees them 5th or 6th, depending on the outcome of the President's game.

A President win gives them 5th but a loss could put them in 5th, 6th, or 7th -- depending on the Mobsters and Jacksonville.

Jacksonville can only advance to 6th if they win -- coupled with a Mobster win and President loss.

The final seed presents a bit of a long-shot hope for the All Americans. In order for them to move into the playoffs, they must beat the Bears -- who have defeated all 14 of the other Eastern teams. They would also need for Sleepy Hollow (who just broke a 6 game losing streak) to lose to the Mobsters.

Nice write up. Thanks for doing this.
