*ISFL - S24 Playoff Probabilities - WK 14 - Cody - 09-08-2020

Wow, what a crazy Week 14 in the ISFL. There were a lot of surprises and a lot of great close games this week. The standings changed up a little bit and team's playoffs chances moved quite a bit. 

Here's a look at the current standings after Week 14:

NSFC

Colorad Yeti: 12-2
Sarasoata Sailfish: 10-4
Chicago Butchers: 6-8
Yellowknife Wraiths: 6-8
Baltimore Hawks: 3-11
Philadelphia Liberty: 3-11

ASFC

New Orleans Second Line: 8-6
Orange County Otters: 8-6
Honolulu Hahalua: 8-6
Arizona Outlaws: 8-6
San Jose SaberCats: 7-7
Austin Copperheads: 6-8

Here is a look at the team results after running numerous simulations and a broad overview of each conference:

Week 13's total will be in parentheses. 

NSFC

COL  Colorado Yeti | Current Record: 12-2 (11-2) | Playoff Probability: 100% (100%) | Average Number of Wins: 13.5 (12.7)

SAR Sarasota Sailfish | Current Record: 10-4 (10-3)| Playoff Probability: 100% (100%)| Average Number of Wins: 11.25 (12.2)

CHI Chicago Butchers | Current Record: 6-8 (5-8) | Playoff Probability: 15% (50%) | Average Number of Wins: 6.55 (5.9)

YKW Yellowknife Wraiths | Current Record: 5-9  (5-8)| Playoff Probability: 55% (50%) | Average Number of Wins: 6.15 (7)

BAL Baltimore Hawks | Current Record: 3-11 (3-10) | Playoff Probability: 0% (0%) | Average Number of Wins: 3.5 (4)

PHI  Philadelphia Liberty | Current Record: 3-11 (3-11) | Playoff Probability: 0% (0%) | Average Number of Wins: 4 (3.6)

My Take

Colorado has a lock on hosting the Conference Championship game in the NSFC with a dominating win over Sarasota. Chicago saw a HUGE jump in their playoff probability going from 15% to 50% to be even with Yellowknife. The simulation really seems to like Yellowknife even though they are a game back. My guess is they both go 1-1 down the stretch and Chicago locks up the last spot. Yellowknife saw an early season lead for the 3rd playoff spot vanish after losing 5 games straight. 

ASFC

NOLA New Orleans Second Line | Current Record: 8-6 (8-5) | Playoff Probability: 65% (65%) | Average Number of Wins: 9 (9.2)

OCO Orange County Otters | Current Record: 8-6 (8-5)| Playoff Probability: 80% (95%) | Average Number of Wins: 8.95 (9.7)

HON Honolulu Hahalua | Current Record: 8-6 (7-6) | Playoff Probability: 65% (55%) | Average Number of Wins: 9.05 (8.6)

ARI Arizona Outlaws | Current Record: 8-6 (7-6)| Playoff Probability: 75% (55%) | Average Number of Wins: 9.1 (8.6)

SJS San Jose SaberCats | Current Record: 7-6 (7-7) | Playoff Probability: 15% (30%) | Average Number of Wins: 7.95 (8.2)

AUS Austin Copperheads | Current Record: 6-8 (5-8) | Playoff Probability: 0% (0%) | Average Number of Wins: 6.95 (6.9)


My Take

Things got shaken up quite a bit in the AFSC as now we have 4 teams with the exact same record of 8-6, New Orleans, Orange County, Honolulu and Arizona. The biggest jump we saw was Arizona going up 20% from 55% to 75%. On the other side Orange County and San Jose both saw their chances drop by 15% but Orange County still has an 80% chance of making the playoffs. It's going to be an interesting finish in this conference!

Man the last two weeks are going to be so fun in the ASFC. That many teams with that close of records = craziness.
