PLAYOFF ANALYSIS

The Griz (8-4) – Clinched either 1st or 2^nd seed.  The Griz need a win this week to ensure they get the number 1 seed. They are still tied with the Meat Tornado, but have scored 41 more points this season, which acts as the tie-breaker.  The Griz have a tough match-up against Team Washburn in week 13.

The Swanson Meat Tornado (8-4) – Clinched either 1^st or 2^nd seed.  To overtake the 1^st seed, The Meat Tornado must either win, while The Griz loses, or outscore the Griz by 42 points if both teams win or lose.  The Meat Tornado has a tough match-up against A Cinderella Story in week 13.

Team Washburn (6-6) – Clinched a playoff spot.  Team Washburn is now playing for home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.  If they beat the Griz this week, they will lock it up.  If Washburn loses, and A Cinderella Story and One Goal win, they will lose home field advantage.  They play the Griz in week 13.

A Cinderella Story (6-6) – Clinched a playoff spot.  Cinderella is also playing for home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.  If they beat The Meat Tornado, they will lock it up.  If Cinderella loses, and One Goal wins, they will lose it.  They also may lose home field if they lose and The California Defenders win, and score 26 more points in week 13.

One Goal 2012 (6-6) – In playoff hunt.  One Goal will lock up a playoff spot if they beat Team Boutsis.  If One Goal loses, they would still make the playoffs if the California Defenders lose to Show Me Your TD’s.

California Defenders (5-7) – In playoff hunt.  If the Defenders beat Show Me Your TD’s, they will lock up a playoff spot.  If they lose, Team Boutsis must also lose for The Defenders to make the playoffs.

Team Boutsis (5-7) – In playoff hunt.  If Team Boutsis beats One Goal 2012, they will make the playoffs.  If they lose, there is no chance to make the playoffs.

Show Me Your TD’s (4-8) – Out of the playoffs.  Sorry Geoff . . . you can still ruin Jordan’s season though . . .
