AXC (American Xtreme Conference)
At the three quarter mark of the season, the playoff picture looks like this:
AXC PLAYOFF SEEDING
1. BUFFALO (11-1)
2. OAKLAND (11-1)
3. DAKOTA (9-3)
4. CINCINNATI (9-3)
5. HOUSTON (8-4)
6. NEW ENGLAND (8-4)
With only four games left, only Miami (6-6) has an outside chance of cracking into the playoff picture. The battle for the #1 seed should come down to the week 15 matchup, Buffalo @ Oakland. Buffalo also has a game against Dakota while Oakland has a nonconference game against defending champs Atlanta. The teams seem set for the playoffs but the last quarter should be quite interesting as teams jockey for position and look to get that 1st round bye.
NXC (National Xtreme Conference)
After three quarters of the season the playoff picture looks like this:
NXC PLAYOFF SEEDING
1. ATLANTA (10-2)
2. SEATTLE (10-2)
3. GREEN BAY (9-3)
4. WASHINGTON (7-5)
5. MEMPHIS (9-3)
6. TAMPA BAY (7-5)
With four games left, both Arizona (7-5) and Chicago (6-6) are still very much in the picture to claim a wild card spot. Carolina (5-6-1) can throw a monkey wrench into the equation due to having a tie. While defending champs, Atlanta (10-2) currently holds the #1 seed, this weeks game against Memphis (9-3) will go a long way in deciding if they lock down the division or drop into a wildcard spot. Atlanta beat Memphis earlier at home 16-13 but must now travel to Memphis for a rematch. If Memphis can win, they have a much easier schedule of opponents down the stretch and could take the division crown. The last quarter should be very interesting with 9 teams fighting for the 6 playoff spots.
