> AC East:  Chicago Cougars
> AC Central:  Philadelphia Phantasm (top seed)
> AC West:  Motor City Marauders
> NC East:  Minneapolis Millers (top seed)
> NC Central:  Canberra Redbacks
> AC Wild Card:  LA Devils of Palo Alto
> NC Wild Card #1:  Southern Kentucky Hilltoppers
> NC Wild Card #2:  Casper Ghosts

Actually, regardless, PAD is going to be Wild Card #1: POR finished three games behind, so if they get that other wildcard, they’ll be #2.  If NJR gets the other wildcard and wins all remaining three games, they do tie us, but we hold the tiebreaker.  If there is a one-game tiebreaker, it’ll be POR at NJR as NJR holds the tiebreaker over POR.
