Congratulations, You're in the Playoffs!

1) Thunder Bay Bloodhounds (12-2) - If they win out against the Thunder Bay Mules & Victoria Crush, they'll have wrapped up the number one seed by virtue of their head-to-head victory against the Durham Ice Odyssey.

2) Durham Ice Odyssey (12-2) - If, as expected, they dispatch the Octopi & Dragoons in their next two games, Durham will have a firm hold on the second seed for reasons described above.

3)Kansas City Rams (11-3) - They're in, but the number of variables based on wins & losses is too much for me to think about where they'll actually finish the season. A playoff game is certain, that it'll be at home...isn't.

4) Kansas City Gorillas (11-3) - Much like the Rams, above, they're guaranteed a playoff spot...but which one is certainly still up in the air. Losses to both the Rams and Aftershocks don't put them in a great position if they end the season tied with either team.

5)Manitoba Aftershocks (10-4) - Technically they could still miss the playoffs if the Indy Horse!! were to somehow upset them...but since they stand no better chance of doing that than Troy did beating Florida today...they're included in those teams that have clinched a playoff spot. A win against the K.C. Rams in the season's final week will do wonders for their chances of playing at home in Round 1.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Better Luck Next Year...Your Playoff Aspirations are Over

12) Oregon Octopi (4-10)
13) To the first point... (3-11)
14) Moose Jaw Dragoons (3-11)
15) Indy Horse!! (0-14)
16) Maracaibo Stingrays (0-14)

Who can wait for the Week 16 showdown between Indy & Maracaibo, both entering the game at 0-15. Should be a great one...

From me? Sorry, no hope. Too much on my plate to worry about the "other" conference.

You're welcome...though I'd hardly consider this writeup "awesome." It needed work, but this was all I had time for.
