Chasing the Postseason

With only two weeks left to go in the regular season, it looks like most of the playoff spots are locked up. Let’s take a quick look at the playoff picture. [Last year’s playoff peek.]

Western Conference
Not a lot of change here, as Jedi Knights and MoRRie’s Pogiboys, last year’s division winners, are assured of playoff positions. There’s no intrigue at all in Hoke-A-Mania as Pogiboys have a three game lead on Ann Arbor Bamfers and the rest of the pack.

Over in Knights Who Say Ni, Jedi have a one game lead on P Funk All Stars, and they face off against them in a possibly pivotal WK13 matchup. Chris’ team has already beaten Paolo’s once this season but their tie-breakers aren’t that far out of reach if Paolo can tie up their H2H record.

With Pogiboys, Jedi, and P Funk likely in the playoffs, it’s down to two 5-6 teams — Ann Arbor Bamfers and Another Bad Creation — to duke it out for that last wildcard spot. Bamfers owns the H2H tiebreaker this season, so the edge is with them. There’s an outside chance that Hungry Hungry Ouroboros could edge into the playoff picture but they are one game behind their competitors. Sayonara to Original Salt and Team Cameltoe, start making moves for next season!

Eastern Conference
It’s the same old story over in this conference too. Mandalorian Warriors and 100 Acre Pooh Bears won their respective divisions last season also and both hold the edge heading into the last two weeks of the regular season. We feel pretty confident that Warriors will win Lebowski Achievers as they are two games up on Detroit Players. As for the Pooh Bears, they are being chased hard by * Fockers and this week’s matchup between them could go a long way toward determining who wins the division crown. J’s team currently holds the 1-0 H2H edge but that could change with a win by Hong.

In any case, all that division title jostling is the only excitement as the other four teams in the East — Squirtle Squad, Italian Stallionz, WS Tartars, and Dunder Mifflin Paper Company — are at least two games back of the playoff hunt and probably should start prepping for summery vacation spots. Better luck next year gentlemen!
