Playoff Picture For Week 16 (Standings Glitch In Play)
by raidergreg69 @ 4/18/2025 10:47 am
I believe we have standings glitches in both conferences.

In the American Conference I don't believe Memphis is eliminated and in the National Conference, my Generals could be out of the playoffs while Jacksonville is still in play.

Both conferences are difficult to figure because we could have 3 way ties and even a 4 way tie.

In the American Conference, the top 6 seeds have been determined as I believe Houston is in regardless of Week 16. The top 5 are definitely set with San Antonio, San Jose, Denver, Michigan, and Oklahoma.

Houston split with Memphis and did not play Honolulu. The drama comes if Memphis beats Philadelphia while Honolulu loses to San Jose. They would both be 10-6 tied for the #7 seed, Memphis beat Honolulu in Week 4, winning the tiebreaker.

In the event of a 3 way tie involving Houston, the Gamblers would get the #6 seed then we proceed between Memphis/Honolulu.

The National Conference is a bit more tricky. Let's start with the 2 undecided division races.

New Orleans needs to beat Birmingham to win the South. If the VooDoo lose, it opens the door for Shreveport to win the division if they beat Washington as the Steamer have the better division record.

Philadelphia swept New Jersey and should win the East. New Jersey would need to beat 15-0 San Antonio plus have Philadelphia lose to Memphis.

If results go a certain way we could have 4 teams with 9-7 records fighting for 2 spots. We could actually have 5 teams 9-7 but if we do, one would be a division winner (Philadelphia).

I do believe Florida is eliminated. In a 3/4 way tie you eliminate all but the highest ranked team within a division and Jacksonville will be that team if it comes to this. So a 4 way tie between Jax, Fla, Shreveport, and NJ would become a 3 way tie after Florida is taken out. Even if the Bulls lose and it becomes a 3 way tie between Florida, Shreveport, and New Jersey, Florida is eliminated because they lost to both Shreveport and New Jersey.

A 3 way tie between Jacksonville, Shreveport, and New Jersey gets murky. I can't figure out who wins the #6 seed in this scenario and it's important. I do know Jacksonville would be eliminated from the 3 way due to conference record, but the Steamer and Generals would have equal 8-4 records in conference. If Shreveport were to be #6, we'd have a Jax/NJ tie for the #7 seed which Jax would win based on this morning's game result. If the Generals get #6, we'd have a tie for #7 with Jax/Shreveport, which the Steamer win based on conference record.
