The playoffs are going to hopefully be a bit different this year, with the Wraiths possibly hosting a playoff game and the SaberCats possibly making their first playoff.
In the NSFC we have the Wraiths at the top of the NSFC standings due to a conference record of 2-2 over the Hawks 2-3. After conference record the deciding metric is points for, which the Wraiths have a solid lead in at 314 to the Hawks 275. Realistically there is only one way for the Hawks to get the #1 seed:
Hawks win both games and Wraiths lose at least one game.
This is unlikely due to the Hawks facing the Otters on the road in one matchup and at home against the Liberty in the other. They will probably lose one of these games. The Wraiths also will realistically only lose one game as they face the Liberty on the road and the Yeti at home.
The Liberty could make the playoffs if either the Wraiths or Hawks lose both of their matchups and the Liberty win both of their matchups. This would put both teams at 7-7, however the Liberty have a far superior conference record at 4-0, so any tie would have them breaking that tie. There are actually two scenarios that would allow the Liberty to get into the playoffs:
1. Liberty beat both the Hawks and Wraiths, moving to 7-7. The Hawks also lose to the Otters, moving to 7-7.
This was mentioned before but allows the Liberty to move into second place with a superior conference record. 6-0 vs 2-5
2. Liberty win both games. Wraiths and Hawks lose both games.
Now we have three teams at 7-7. Liberty would be in 1st place with a 6-0 conference record. The Hawks and Wraiths would both have a 2-4 conference record, with points for being the decider. The Wraiths already have a 39 point lead in this category, so it stands to reason that they would be the second team.
Here is how I view the last two weeks playing out:
Week 13
Wraiths lose to Liberty on the road (Wraiths 7-6(2-3), Liberty 6-7(5-0))
Hawks lose to Otters on the road (Hawks 7-6(2-3))
1. Wraiths
2. Hawks
------------
3. Liberty
Week 14
Wraiths beat Yeti at home (Wraiths 8-6(3-3))
Liberty lose to Hawks at home (Hawks 8-6(3-3), Liberty 6-8(5-1))
1. Wraiths on Points For
2. Hawks
-------------
3. Liberty
