Playoff Scenarios

A-League

With two solid wins in Week 5, including a 14 point victory over defending champion Goon Squad, and Week 6 bye, Nine Ways to Sunday has locked up the top overall seed. Tebow's Illegitimate Children and No Punt Intended will face off with a shot at the #2 seed; should the Jorted Ones defeat No Punt Intended but fall in another game of their triple header, Goon Squad can claim the two seed with a bounceback win over Low Passing. No Punt Intended has clinched a first-round bye, while 1-2 weekend will do the same for Kyle Watson's squad. Low Passing can receive an H on their regular season and a first-round bye with a win this weekend, as can Malicious Intent with wins over Tebow's Illegitimate Children and 1L foes Illegal Procedure.

B-League

Newton Division
The four playoff squads from the Newton Division are all locked in, with a battle between the Section 7 squads from 2009 and 2011 to determine the division winner and recipient of the automatic bye. Neither team has lost thus far, with a week 4 Sexy 7 forfeit being the only blemish on either team's record. The 3Ls on Beyond a Reasonable Rout also have a chance to finish their regular season careers at a perfect 18-0 if they can handle the throngs of 1Ls they will face in their doubleheader against Sexy 7 and Three's Company.

Bush Division
Owing to their dramatic week 2 overtime victory over Excessive Fource, The Franchise Tax can lock up their divisional title with a win over Fantastic 4 Sunday morning. Excessive Fource remains in contention for both a divisional title and (fittingly) the fourth bye with a win over their 2014 counterparts and Youthful 1ndiscretions, who have established themselves as one of the elite 1L squads. William the Bruce and Conor's Beard will play a defacto play-in game, with the winner advancing to the playoffs and the loser freed from concern of early morning wakeups for football games. Thus far, Conor's Beard has displayed exceptional sportsmanship in providing orange slices, Capri Sun, and brownies during halftime and after the game to their opponents, but thus far any goodwill gained by such generous offerings appears to have been offset by the negative karmic repercussions of certain comments overheard regarding Duke University.

Pryor Division
The Gunners and Spite Kites will face off in a contest for the divisional crown, with the Gunners also in position to take the #1 overall seed with a victory or the fourth bye with a loss. We Will Franchise & Bash You and In re: Touchdowns will face off with a playoff bid on the line, although both teams may yet qualify with an In re: Touchdowns win pending other outcomes.
