At 7-5 Hill Valley and Pawnee are nearly assured of a seed as well, and could range all the way up to the two seed if both Orgrimmar and Phoenix fall. The winner of their matchup shouldn't do worse than the #4 seed, while the loser should have the points to edge in as a road team, barring disaster.
Then comes the field at 6-6, jockeying for the sixth and final playoff berth: DVH, BIN, SAV, HCM, and MMC. Deputy currently has a substantial points lead, but will still need to win to get in. A loss to Savannah and the Petes have a good opportunity to nab a second straight playoff appearance for just the first time in franchise history; They'll also have to overcome a ten point deficit to the Snipers, should Binghamton win a game that is meaningless for South Park in all but the most superficial ways. HCM City and Manitoba will need a win, a points windfall, and some help to score a glass slipper. We'll examine playoff scenarios more in depth with a later post!
SCOREBOARD:
POWER OUTPUT:
- NYF 251: Everything clicked far too late for the team to make a championship run, but another win clinches a consolation bracket berth and a chance to score the top pick in 2019.
- PAW 250: Rattling off three straight wins against 2018 playoff teams is the best way to respond to adversity. The Pride are in- can they roll in with a month's worth of momentum?
- PHX 233: Sixth in overall points would be the team's worst finish in the stat since 2009, but you play for the playoffs and the Uprising are there for a ninth year in a row.
- ORG 227: The return of the Horde has pushed the divide between the haves and have nots into the light. Orgrimmar has it, and they're a frightening playoff proposition for any team.
- MAL 207: The Grabbers continue to be one of the unluckiest squads in the league, losing despite being top five in points, and now almost certainly not playing past week twelve.
- MMC 200: This bounceback appears to be too little too late; The second half swoon killed them, but the week one result reversal looms large on their microscopic playoff odds.
- DVH 200: Winning either of the past two contests would have put Deputy in a great playoff position, but they dropped both and now week thirteen is gonna be SUPER DRAMATIC.
- BIN 196: When they've been good they've been very good and when they've lost they've been bad. A high score and a Deputy loss are their direct route to potential playoff glory.
- SAV 191: A state adjustment reversal is likely out of reach, and three straight losses makes their five game win streak a distant memory. But they've still got a chance in their final game!
- SPC 186: That was the Cows without the Gurley experience. Off his bye, tack 20+ points onto this score and that's likely South Park's worst case scenario in a post season matchup.
- PRH 184: He's dead Jim! The team hasn't scored over 200 points since the first half of the season and they're 1-5 over that span. Best case, they avoid last place in their final game.
- HVM 181: Picking a very good time for a clunker, the team's #2 scoring team gets a fortunate victory and is all but assured their playoff spot regardless of week 13's outcome.
- HCM 173: The regret of this effort is mitigated somewhat by their opponents scoring bonanza, but the Lead Farmer's looked like a dark horse coming into wk 12; Now their chances are slim.
- BKB 163: With a chance to play spoiler to the McFlys the Killa Beez bungled it. Winning their last game would make this season more successful than any Oakwood Driver campaign.
