For the thirteenth year in a row, we will not have a team achieve perfection.
Mar-A-Lago fell in week eight and in doing so ceded the top spot in the standings to the also 7-1 Manitoba Moose Crew, who are absolutely steamrolling the opposition right now, putting up 232+ points in all seven of their victories (and a respectable 210 in their only loss) and should be regarded as the favorite going into the back end of the regular season.
The Treason keep the #2 seed, while both South Philly and South Park stay a game behind- both are streaking, and with six wins in the bank are on the precipice of punching an early playoff ticket, likely only needing to win two of their final five games to assure themselves a berth. Behind them needing only to win three of five games are Deputy and HCM City- we could be looking at the playoff picture crystallizing very early in Larkspur Bowl XIII.
Hoping for an in down the stretch are Binghamton and Phoenix; at 4-4 they're both need to win 4 out of 5 to make it to the dance- in a quirk of scheduling, both see the Rum Ham and Cows on their remaining schedule, having already played the other four team ahead of them in the standings.
Holding on to their playoff hopes by a thread are the Ohio Tommy Boys, who will probably need to win out to taste the playoffs. Effectively eliminated are Hill Valley, New Jersey, Carmel, and Savannah; actually mathematically eliminated are the 1-7 Pawnee Cheese Graders.
