What are the odds of the Yeti making the playoffs? Let's look at what they need to happen in each game for the rest of the season.
Week 11:
Legion defeat Hawks
Yeti defeat Otters
Sabercats defeat Liberty
Outlaws defeat Wraiths
Week 12:
Sabercats defeat Wraiths
Otters defeat Hawks
Yeti defeat Liberty
Week 13:
Yeti defeat Outlaws
Wraiths defeat Liberty
Otters defeat Hawks
Week 14:
Yeti defeat Wraiths
Liberty defeat Hawks
If this best case scenario plays out, here are the final standings of the NSFC:
1. Wraiths (7-7)
2. Hawks (6-8)
3. Yeti (5-9) (Assuming they score more points and win the tiebreaker)
4. Liberty (5-9)
So if this is the best case scenario for the Yeti, does that mean they're eliminated? If you want to look at it mathematically, then yes they are eliminated. However the Yeti are a team of fighters currently on a 1 game winning streak. I have a hard time seeing a team like this allowing themselves to be kept out. So how do the Yeti make it into the playoffs? That's where it gets complicated. I believe their best chance is a well placed scandal. If every Hawks player were to get suspended, the Yeti could theoretically still make the playoffs in their place. Or maybe it will be determined that the ghost of Caramel Gibson is still playing for the Hawks and some of their wins will be vacated. The Wraiths are playing a lot better than expected this season, perhaps some sort of scandal will come out about them. There are a lot of possible scandals that could arise in this league and to make a long story short, the Yeti will need a major one in order to make the playoffs at this point.
