Lion
Axis (12-0) - Will they put any effort into the final 3 games to ensure they hold on to the top seed?
Windhoek (10-2) - Rhinos dominated Sahara in every fashion and if they get by Uganda should be looking at a 14-2 finish.
Sahara (11-1) - Sahara drops their first game by a large margin. Have the chinks been exposed?
TAP (10-2) - Coasting to a 14-2 finish.
Uganda (10-2) - 4 games left that will really test the Silverbacks but even if they lose 3 of them they should still lock up the 5 seed.
Cult (8-4) - Moving them up purely based off record. Every team under here is in the mix for the 6-8 seed somehow and it's going to be messy. Tough road ahead with RnR, Sahara, Uganda & Austin still left but Cult only needs to win 2 of those to stay ahead of everybody.
RnR (7-5) - On the edge of falling out of the playoffs if they keep dropping games. Only 1 gimme left and they also face an Axis team on cruise control. Have to beat Cult or Yaks to stay alive.
Austin (6-6) - Talk about coming crashing back down to earth. Austin got decimated by TAP. Next week is a gimme so the final 3 games will be pivotal. Don't see this team standing a shot against the Rhinos so best case scenario is 9-7 finish. Everythings riding on weeks 15/16 against CWE/Cult.
Yaksmen (5-7) - Will dropping that game to the Joe's cost them a playoff spot? Should go on a 3 game win streak before wrapping up the season against the struggling RnR squad.
Average Joe's (6-6) - Beating the Yaks gives them a much needed head to head tiebreaker, if that ends up being the case. Should go 2-2 the rest of the way to finish up 8-8.
CWE (5-7) - Look who gets a write-up again! CWE upsets RnR to show they're not dead yet. Schedule's not great but not horrid. Sahara seems to have taken their foot of the gas. Uganda will be a threat. Austin has improved throughout the season but it's a decent matchup. Boston is an easy win. Can this squad shock us and make a run at the 8 seed?

BSS (12-0) - I'm going to move you guys down with the teams that don't deserve a write-up if you don't do something to excite me soon.
Republic (10-2) - Earning that 2 seed right now with great wins over Asmara, SHP, RRK & Philly the last 4 weeks.
Philly (9-3) - Something ugly happened in that 1st half against Benin. Not sure what since I didn't watch the PBP but I'm pretty sure Philly must have forgotten to put dots on the field for 30 minutes.
Spring Hill (8-4) - Break a 3 game losing streak with a narrow win over San Diego thanks to a strong 2nd half.
Rwanda (8-4) - Great win over Philly before getting crushed by Benin. Much credit to QB Kenshin for his 3 TD passes in the 2nd half that helped mount a comeback to tie the game and force OT. Battle for the 3-4 seeds will be interesting with all 3 teams having softer schedules. If anyone slips up they can kiss that home game goodbye.
ICB (8-4) - Tough loss to the Knights but with Philly, Benin and the Aquabats left this squad still has a shot at moving up if they can take down some good teams.
AquaBats (10-2) - 4 tough games left but they've wrapped up at least the 7 seed.
Voodoo (7-5) - Shockingly still in it and the battle for the 8 seed will be a mess.
Steiner (8-4) - Steiner has 4 games left they'll probably lose to finish up 8-8. The only way they make in to the playoffs is if Voodoo loses 3 and somehow Steiner wins the 3 way tiebreaker. Not sure if that would be the case in that situation so it may be for nothing.
Asmara (4-8) - Back to back losses have most likely eliminated Asmara from the playoffs. They do have 4 very winnable games left but lost the head to head tiebreaker with Steiner. Best case scenario is to beat Voodoo and force a 3 way tie but I'm not sure who wins out in that case.
