Week 8 Playoff Scenarios
7 weeks down, 3 to go, and 7 teams still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt. You like football??
Tiebreakers (for two teams):
1- Head-to-head
2- Best win/loss percentage in division games
**NORTH:**
1) DC DEFENDERS 6-1 (5-0)
2) STL BATTLEHAWKS 5-2 (2-2)
3) SEA DRAGONS 5-2 (1-2)
4) e-LV VIPERS 2-5 (0-4)
Despite the loss to ORL this week, DC remains 1 win away from clinching a playoff birth as a result of already having locked up the division tiebreaker. They travel to SEA this week in a game that's hugely important to both teams.
SEA and STL both held serve this week, and remain deadlocked in the standings.
STL will host LV this week, and as a result of their win over HOU (and LV's 0-4 division record), LV has been eliminated from playoff contention.
**SOUTH:**
1) HOU Roughnecks 4-3 (4-0)
2) ARL Renegades 3-4 (2-2)
3) SA Brahmas 2-5 (2-2)
4) ORL Guardians 1-6 (0-4)
The South remains a hilarious dumpster fire. HOU still controls its own destiny and will head to SA this week with a chance to both lock up their own playoff spot and eliminate SA, depending on the results of the ARL/ORL game.
ORL is still alive and kicking, but they need some help. HOU can help their cause by beating SA, but they can take a face a must win game against ARL at home.
