CFFL Final Week Playoff Implciations

With the final week approaching fast there are several teams still hunting for a playoff spot and some already crowned division title winners (theoretically).  Let's take a quick look that the four divisions and what is in store for us this final week in the CFFL.

The North:

The Chislers are basically King of the North once again.  "King in the North!  King in the North!"  With a one game lead over the Animals even if they lose, both the Animals and Chislers would be tied in record, head to head and divisional record.  Before kick off the Chislers have a 56 point lead in the PF category.  So unless the Animals can win, and score more than 56 points than the Chislers the North is once again ruled by the Chislers. 

Will the Chislers be "King in the North!"?

The South:

A Dragon is currently ruling the South.  Titans and Mayhem will have to mount their forces to take the South from the Dragons and will require assistance from their sworn enemy the Killer Bees.  Dragons face the Killer Bees and if win; conquer the South.  Titans and Mayhem battle each.  Mayhem basically don't have a shot, since even if they beat the Titans and Dragons lose, the Dragons swept the Mayhem in the regular season.  Now the Titans however have an inside track.  If Dragons do lose, and Titans take down the Mayhem, they will have a better divisional record than the Dragons.  They tied the regular season series.  Hence the South would belong to the Titans.  So Dragons, just win baby. 

"Come and get me! I dare ya!"

The East:

Just like in WWII, the Krauts marched too far into Russia and the late season winter took its toll.  The Krauts have been on the retreat from their Russian foes Roulette and Cocktails, losing 3 in a row, when it looked like they were going to run away with the division at 8-2.  Now at 8-5, and after a resurgence of  Roulette, winners of 2 games in a row, are in trouble.  In a final battle, the Krauts must travel to Moscow for one last effort to prevent further retreat.  If they win, why secure the east for Berlin.  If not, the Roulette can defend the Motherland based on ultimately having the better divisional record.  However it may not be the Roulette's head the East crown rests.  If the Cocktails can win and out score the Roulette in the process by more than 4 points then the East Crown is the Cocktails...and the Krauts will fall from 1 to 3 and may miss the playoffs. 

Krauts traveling to Moscow, not too happy about weather

The West:

The Sinistars have clearly been telling the rest of the division to "Run Coward" as they lead in points scored by more than 80 points over rest of division.    At 8-5 they lead by one game.  But they have to travel all the way from Seattle to Tamp and take on the upstart Killers who are only one game back.  This game is basically for the division.  If the Killers win they win the West!  They would have split the series and have the best Divisional record among all three teams (assuming the Bums win).
