The Rugarus and Rhode Island Bison probably have the most precarious positions, with relatively weaker schedules so far than their nearby competitions and difficult interconference games remaining. Kentucky Cyclones have a very tough road to avoid the auto-drop.

Whichever of the top 3 emerges as the conference champion will be the favorite to win the league. But will a late season arms race result in another promotion upset? wild storm's early season cup-punts contribute to his variance (and Lahser and Frogmonsters' opponent variance), but the 2 game hole will make it much harder to sneak into the playoffs despite his full focus shifting back to the league.
