Playoff Scenarios

I think I have all the playoff possibilities figured out. There are basically five teams vying for four spots. Since the Greasy Weasels, and San Quentin Saints have the tie-breaker over the Z-Squad they have clinched already. That leaves three teams vying for two spots.

Elvis Impersonators – Clinched divison and 1st seed.

The Wondrful Gazonks – Clinched division and 2nd seed.

Vinny’s Gang – In with a win, or Greasy Weasel or Z-Squad loss, or The Undergarments loss and end up with more total points then The Undergarments.

Greasy Weasels – Clinched at least a 6th seed since they have the tie-breaker over Z-Squad.

Z-Squad – Needs to win and have either Vinny’s Gang or The Undergarments lose.

San Quentin Saints – Clinched at least a 6th seed since they have the tie-breaker over Z-Squad. They win the Division and get the 3rd seed with either a win or a The Undergarments loss.

The Undergarments – In with a win or Greasy Weasels or Z-Squad loss or a Vinny’s Gang loss and they end up with more total points than Vinny’s Gang. They win the Division and get the 3rd seed with a win and a San Quentin Saints loss.

I hope I got that all right. My brain hurts now.
