If the Season Ended Week 9

Dynasty would still win the Middle and the number 1 seed.  Old No. 7 remain 2 games back with 5 to play but they also lost the first meeting between the two teams.  Malleus and Camp Adventure are now 3 games behind but Camp Adventure does have the advantage of beating Dynasty in their first meeting.  A Dynasty win and Malleus loss would almost certainly remove Malleus from contention for the division crown.  Drow remain the most likely to wrest the top seed from Dynasty as they beat Dynasty earlier this year and remain a game behind by record.

Drow would win the Left and the number 2 seed with the head-to-head tiebreaker over Rednecks.  But Lagers are lurking only a game behind and beat Drow in the first game of the season.  If Lagers beat Drow again this weekend, they would take over the left division with the season sweep of Drow.  Wolfpack and Bronies are 3 games back.  The loser of their match-up this weekend will be on the ropes in the division race.

Rednecks would win the Right and the number 3 seed.  Rednecks are now effectively 2 games up on Hamburglers after completing the season sweep last weekend and beat Bill in their first match-up of the season.  But both Hamburglers and Bill remain only a game behind and this remains the tightest division race in the league.  Mimes are 5 games back now and effectively eliminated from contention for the division.

The top three power ranked teams remain the division winners so Bill, Hamburglers, Lagers, and Old No. 7 would vie for 3 wild card spots by their records alone.  Hamburglers are 1-0 and Bill is 2-1 in this group and would become the 4 and 5 seeds (in an order that would require more tie-breakers to determine).  Lagers and Old No. 7 are both 0-1 in this group with loses to Bill.  Lagers are 1-2 against the division winners while Old No. 7 is 0-2 so Lagers would be the 6th seed.

Those four teams all have a number of games against each other during the remaining 5 weeks of the year which will have a lot to do with how this actually works out at the end of the year.

Malleus and Camp Adventure are also only a game behind the wild card scrum.  Wolfpack and Bronies are 2 games back and have to start worrying.

This week

• Lagers visit Drow with the Left Division on the line.  A Drow win would give them a 2-game cushion.  A Lager win would put them on top of the division with the season sweep of the Drow.
• Two games between wild cards and contenders with Malleus at Bill and Camp Adventure and Hamburglers featuring teams from the middle who are a game back visiting teams in the right who hold the first two wild card spots at this time.
• Old No. 7 can help their wild card bid with a win at Rednecks this week, which would also keep Rednecks from running away with their division.
• Wolfpack and Bronies looks a little like an eliminate game.  The loser will be 3 or 4 games behind the division leader and 2 or 3 games behind the wild card leaders with only 4 games to play.
