BYEThe Monarchs (11-1/9-0) currently holds the BYE with the San Antonio Rampage (11-1/7-1) close on their heels tied but behind based on Conference record. The Rattlesnakes (10-2/7-2) are a game behind both and lost their 1st matchup with the week 15. Rampage with the rematch Overall/Conference records are in parenthesis.
WESTThe Monarchs (11-1/5-0) have the division all but clinched and have already clinched a playoff spot. The Treasure (8-4/3-2) are 3 games behind with 4 to play and need to win out and have the Monarchs lose out to win the division which is highly unlikely.
EASTThe Chips (8-4/3-1) currently have a 1 game lead over the Far East (7-5/3-2) and the two teams split their season series. Overall/Division records are in parenthesis. The Chips can clinch the division with wins over the Timbers (4-8) and Bakers (4-8) in weeks 13 & 14 plus a Far East lose to the Bullfrogs (9-3) in week 13.
NORTHThe Mallards (9-3/3-0) hold a 2 game lead over the Heisenbergs (7-5/1-2) plus they swept the season series versus Blue Rock which essentially gives them a 3 game lead. Overall/Division records are in parenthesis. The Mallards have a magic number of 2 which means any combination of wins or Heisenbergs loses equalling 2 will clinch the division. So the Mallards can clinch this week with a win over Romans (3-9) plus a Heisenberg lose to the Thunderbolts (2-10). It doesn't seem likely this week but seems inevitable thus season.
SOUTHThe Rampage (11-1/3-0) currently hold a 1 game lead over the Rattlesnakes (10-2/2-1) plus they won the first head to head matchup with the Rattlesnakes. The rematch happens in week 15. Overall/Division records are in parenthesis. The Rampage have clinched a playoff spot and play division games the next 3 weeks. If they win those games including the week 15 rematch with the Rattlesnakes then they clinch the division. While the Rampage should be favorites against the Autobots (2-10) and Virgins (5-7) the next two weeks, the Rattlesnakes have games with the Virgins (5-7) and Hammers (9-3).
WILDCARDThe Springfield Rattlesnakes (10-2/7-2), Oak Island Treasure (8-4/6-3) and Blue Rock Heisenbergs (7-5/5-3) currently hold the three Wildcard spots. The Tokyo Far East (7-5/6-5) sit on the outside looking in based on Conference record plus a lose to the Treasure.
The Virginia Virgins (5-7/3-5), Chesapeake Bay Crusaders (4-8/3-6), Duluth Timbers (4-8/3-6) and Mayfield Bakers (4-8/3-7) are all alive mathematically but the Virgins are at the Emergency room while the other 3 teams are in the ICU and the DNRs have been signed.

BYEThe Fighting DeLucias (12-0/9-0) currently hold the Bye with a 1 game lead on the Quicksilver (11-1/8-1) and 2 game lead on the Mellotrons (10-2/7-2). They have a win over the Quicksilver and swept the Mellotrons so in essence the lead is 2 games. Overall/Conference records are in parenthesis. They have clinched a playoff spot and their magic number to clinch the bye is 3 so any combination of wins or Quicksilver loses equalling 3 will clinch them the Bye.
WESTThe Hammers (9-3/4-1) have a 2 game lead over the Ravens (7-5/3-1) for division supremacy. Overall/Division records are in parenthesis. The Hammers split the season series with the Ravens and have a magic number of 3 to clinch the division but they have a brutal schedule over the next 3 weeks which will keep the door open for the Ravens. The Hammers play the Quicksilver (11-1), Rattlesnakes (10-2) and Fighting DeLucias (12-0) the next 3 games while the Ravens play the Blizzard (4-8), Cut Throat's (4-8) and Muskies (1-11).
EASTThe Fighting DeLucias (12-0/6-0) have a vice grip on the division and have already clinched a playoff spot. The Mellotrons (10-2/2-2) are 2 games behind but we're swept by the Fighting DeLucias which makes the lead 3 games. Overall/Division records are in parenthesis. The Fighting DeLucias have a magic number of 2 and play the Storm (4-8) in week 14 and finish the season against the Muskies (1-11) so it seems like a done deal.
NORTHThe Bullfrogs have already clinched the division as they became the first verified division champion.
SOUTHThe Quicksilver (11-1/5-0) have clinched a playoff spot and hold a 2 game lead over the Lancers (9-3/1-1). Overall/Division records are in parenthesis. The Quicksilver have a magic number of 3 to clinch the division while the Lancers finish the season with 4 straight division matchups including the Quicksilver in week 14.
WILDCARDThe Bratislava Mellotrons (10-2/7-2), Little Rock Lancers (9-3/6-3) and London Ravens (7-5/5-3) currently hold the 3 Wildcard spots and the Mellotrons have already clinched leaving just 2 open spots.
The Hollywood Stars (6-6/4-4) are 1 game out and the Chicken Wing Foghorn Leghorns (5-7/4-5) are 2 games behind. The Baffin Blizzard (4-8/3-5) and Omaha Storm (4-8/3-6) are still breathing but the doctors are planning to pull the plug after week 13.
The Stars play the Ravens in week 16 so if they can reach that point still 1 game behind then it will become a playoff play-in game. The problem is the Stars play the Lancers (9-3) twice down the stretch while the Ravens play the Blizzard (4-8), Cut Throat's (4-8) and Muskies (1-11) the next 3 weeks.
