Yep, both sides look pretty hotly contested, except for Myopics' #1 seed. I dont think he has anything to really worry about.
On the Big 8 side of the picture, if I had to guess I would say that the top 4 right now would be the ones making the playoffs, as the seeding they are now. Although if GF or Darth Vader plays their cards right, they could pull off an upset and steal that #4 seed.
However, on the Great 8 side... Its much more contested, as basically if any team loses, the seeds could all be rearranged. Except for 8th. Poor BB.
Our 7th Seed could be Big 8s 4th.
Just insane. I currently have the 4th seed but I'm not sure if I'll be able to hold it as I have NY Wahoos at home, probably can't beat him either way, and then #1 seed Nashville and TOT both on the road.
Remaining 3 games doesn't look that good for me.
At first, who would've guessed Nashville at the top over Googily?
But there for a while, he held a couple game lead over Googily. Now that Googily revamped his interior lineup just a wee bit, I think it'll make him a very tough matchup, even for Myopic.
Last 3 games will be very interesting needless to say. I will definitely be keeping a close eye over the next 2 weeks.

Our 7th Seed could be Big 8s 4th.
So could the 1st. ;)

For the Big 8 I will agree the current four will make the playoffs considering Deronimo's tie-break advantage.

Great 8, certainly more difficult. The current 4 and 5 seeds have the same schedules and they're difficult ones. It would shock me to see Albany or Meridian sneak into the playoffs from the 6-7 spots. Though Unstoppables have the tiebreak advantage which I don't see them losing. They just need to take care of business.

My predictions:
Myopic
Hoofhearted
Pittsburgh
Deronimo

Nashville
Googily
NY Wahoos
That One Team. Or maybe Meridian. No, Unstoppables. Wait, Albany. Can go so many ways......I'll stick my neck out and say Meridian. They snuck in last year so I'll say they do it again.

I'm just trying to stay in II. But I only have Big Bucks at home and Googily and Meridian on the road.

Throw in the TIE's to prepare for the playoffs and we have one big mess!

But I am preparing for a relegation match.

Googily may be a game back, but is virtually guaranteed to win any PD tiebreakers with Big Bucks still on the schedule. Beat Meridian on the road, and the 1-seed could be theirs. Otherwise, it could (should?) be the winner of Freaks-Wahoos that same night.

All I'm hoping for, after I win out, is for Nash and Wahoo's to lose... just one game. Please?

I think I have a shot at the playoffs this season. I think I'll pull every strand of hair out if I land in 5th ... again.

I have no idea whats gonna happen. I've kind of dropped the ball on being team manager lately. Life has been a bit crazy, just finished my Masters and now I'm looking at my team and wondering what exactly have I done? Some of my moves were kind of dumb (in hindsight), and I am in bad shape in other areas along with the fact that my training has been a bit random. Regardless it will be interesting to see the last couple of games play out.

Good Luck to all, TOT

Hey TOT, I've been feeling left-out too... logged in plenty this season, but have little focus. Finally got my hattrick team to dIV, and I've been destroying some fools there, to needless to say, a lot more fun that this McSeason.

I predict a strong finish for the McMornings, and 5th place! Perfect.

NY @ UNS tonight should be a god game... after last season's MVP hit a three to knock the Wahoos down last tuesday! Boo yah.

I some reason thought that NY would go TIE on me.. I was wrong. Oh well, I'll take the loss for more enthusiasm. I still hold the TB by atleast 110 PD. I'm rushing the OD on my guards in case I manage to keep 4th and I go up against Nashville or Googily and their outside scoring.
Will definitely be an interesting last 2 games.

Well I sealed the deal at the cost of my enthusiasm when it didn't really even matter. Better safe than sorry I guess, no amount of enthusiasm was going to help me against the Marauders anyway. Well maybe something like 17.

Well 4-7 go down to the last game. 4 can't drop down too far but 5-7 really look up for grabs.

Good luck all.
