14. #21 Toronto Titans (4-8)
15. #25 Cincinnati Defenders (3-9)


WEST
KC has clinched the division.

EAST
Buffalo had already clinched the division crown.

NORTH
Pittsburgh takes a 1 game lead over Houston and Toronto while Cincinnati sits 2 games out.

SOUTH
Dakota has clinched the division.

NXC

1. #1 Philadelphia Slayers (11-1)
2. #6 Carolina Cobras (9-3)

3. #7 Vegas Black Aces (8-4)
4. #15 St. Paul Punishers (8-4)
5. #5 Brooklyn Hitmen (10-2)
6. #13 Atlanta Dominators (8-4)

7. #10 LA Challengers (8-4)
8. #12 Gem City Gangsters (7-5)
9. #14 Chicago Avengers (6-6)
10. #11 Montana Grizzlies (6-6)
11. #16 Providence Islanders (5-7)


WEST
Philadelphia takes a 1 game lead in the division over Brooklyn

EAST
Vegas and LA sit tied at 8-4 atop the division but Vegas has a 4-0 division record to LAs 3-1 and Vegas won the 1st head to head matchup with the rematch in week 13.

NORTH
St. Paul currently leads the division at 8-4 with Gem City a game behind at 7-5. St. Paul holds a 2-1 division record to Gem City's 1-1 record. This division will be decided when they play each other in both week 13 and week 16. Chigago and Montana are both 2 games out and playing in the weeds if the top two teams fall.

SOUTH
Carolina grabs a 1 game lead but Atlanta is 5-0 in division including a series sweep over Carolina to hold the tiebreaker.

I don't think it's accurate that Gem City is in. I can tie with Los Angeles and they have a better conference record than us and we have no H2H game. Under normal circumstances I'd just figure it out, but I'm tired from spending the last 3 days clearing out Mom's and we're back at it again tomorrow.

The AXC has their 6 playoff teams set. The NXC is a little more confusing with 4 teams competing for 2 playoff spots.

Gem City Gangsters and the St. Paul Punishers play for the division in week 16 with the loser facing a possible 3 way tie with the LA Challengers and Atlanta Dominators.

From my research, Atlanta wins the Wildcard with a win at 10-6 and a 9-3 Conference record. LA needs a win and Atlanta lose to win it will the loser of Gem City and St. Paul needs both LA and Atlanta to lose to win it.

I can't believe that after all this time we still have the standings glitch. How many unsuspecting teams have cost themselves a playoff berth because they believe the BS standings page?

Well the playoffs are set, let's take a look at the 12 teams.

Every former XFL Champion made the playoffs with the exception of the Arizona Wranglers.

Thanks for rubbing that in. :P
Arizona had a real down season. Going to need some major tweaks this upcoming off-season.

Depends how you take it....Being recognized as a former Champion is nice.
