As the playoffs approach, there are only a couple of teams still on the bubble in terms of in or out.
Here were my thoughts from the begining of the season, in the other Season 30 thread.
The Great 8 has been the stronger conference for the past few seasons. Leading playoff contenders include my Kitties, Hoopers, Boilermakers, and the recent D.3 team, Strong. Mares should also come on strong and may make the playoffs at the expense of someone.
In the Big 8, last season's conference title winner Catzz should again qualify for the playoffs with easy, while Blazers and Java will join them. Big question will be who will be the 4th playoff team.
In Great 8 - Kitties, Strong and also Mares are in, making the playoffs at the expense of ex-team Boiler. Who would have predicted the events surrounding that team? No one. The new comer replacement team, Majarlika, is going to struggle down the stretch, so it will be either Hoopers or Gods taking the final playoff spot. The upcoming match-up between those two teams will be huge!
In the Big 8 - Blazers, Catzz and Java will be joined by Moose. Sorry Panama, but not sure that both the win/loss and the tie-breaking goal diff issue can be made up to reach the 4th slot. The really interesting action will center on the seeding issue, with the top three teams all sitting on identical records. The upcoming battles between those three teams will also be huge!
There will also be some very interesting relegation battles come playoff time, interesting in that out of those survivors will likely come the league champ in 5+ seasons down the road.
