I suggest that we could follow the rule in MLB / NBA that once the playoff spot is secured, a letter "x" will be shown in front of the team name.
"y" is the top in standing of Big 8 / Great 8, and "z" is the overall best in standing. The following is the example:
z-Forty Two
x-Quebec Pugs

Sorry for my bad English in case that you might not understand. BTW, do we call this "prefix"?
