With only two league games remaining, most leagues have settled their playoff picture or are down to just a couple teams vying for the final spot(s). That is not the case in Oberon where nothing other than the division winners has been decided. The 1-3 seeds are still up in the air, and 5 teams are still in the wildcard hunt.
For giggles, I went through and figured the scenarios out for this. A couple of the teams are longshots, but very few of the teams have full control over their playoff destinies.
Let's start with the division winners all of whom are locked in. To get the #1 seed:
Air Raid - win both.
Lost Lounge - win both remaining games and Air Raid(+1) loses one.
Glasgow - win both remaining games, Air Raid(+1) and Lost Lounge(+1) lose one
Air Raid has total control as long as they win. However, since they've lost their league games to both Lost Lounge and Glasgow, things get dicey if they lose a game. Glasgow has the worst league record of the three division winners, but holds league victories over both others giving them some leeway with Glasgow but Lost Lounge's tie nearly eliminates that chance of using that tie breaker with them. It's possible for Glasgow to win one and tie one, Air Raid to lose both, and Lost Lounge to lose one for them to get in, but that's a pretty unlikely scenario.
For the wildcard teams, let's start with the easiest and work to hardest:
D2.0 - win their last two games. They split with Detroit, but have the better score differential at 17 to 13.
Detroit - win their last two, D2.0 loses one.
----(Lost Lounge plays both these teams to finish giving us a great deal of influence on who makes it)
Rapper's - win last two. Detroit(-1) loses last two. D2.0 (+1), DADDY (+1), and Twintown (-1) loses at least one.
DADDY - win last two. Detroit(-1), D2.0(-1), and Rapper's(-1) lose both. Twintown(+1) loses one.
Twintown - win last two. Detroit(-1), D2.0(-1), DADDY (-1) lose both. Rapper's lose one.
Technically, D2.0 and Detroit can lose a game and still make it but either of them would need everything else to fall perfectly at that point including having every other wildcard lose at least one as well. D2.0 is the only wildcard team totally in control of its own destiny. If they win their last two, they are in. Twintown and DADDY have no other chance than two win both their games and see three of the four other potential wildcards lose both. Strangely enough, that is possible given that none of the potential wildcards play each other again.
