(S22) - PT4 - Road to Glory

Looking ahead to the playoffs, the NFSC looks pretty straightforward: The Yellowknife Wraiths have the top seed locked down and Yeti will be hard to catch for the second seed. That leaves Philadelphia and Sarasota competing for the third spot. Even should Philadelphia win tonight's head to head they would need to also beat Yellowknife or have Sarasota lose to Chicago in the final week in order to overcome Sarasota's superior conference record. Since the head to head will be split evenly. With those 3 teams through to the playoffs it's hard to bet against homefield advantage carrying Yellowknife to the Ultimus once more.

Over in the AFSC, The Orange County Otters have the first seed guaranteed, and it's a 3 horse race for the other two seeds between New Orleans, Austin and San Jose. The schedule includes head to heads between Austin and both those teams in the final two weeks. In both games Austin has the home field advantage and I think that will be enough to carry them through to a playoff spot and I think San Jose may just lose out having lost both games to New Orleans already this season. Regardless who the lucky teams are it's hard to see Orange County slowing down in the playoffs and we will have yet another Ultimus between Orange County and Yellowknife.

I think Yellowknife may be able to carry a number 1 seeding to home field advantage in the final game and finally break the deadlock and get the Ultimus they deserve.
