Ye Gods! The Playoff Scenarios. (I Think)

Payton Conference
 
The following teams in the Payton Conference are definitely in the playoffs: NW Missouri, Hermitage, San Pedro, Philadelphia and Knoxville. Ohio and Dakota are fighting for the last slot.
 
NW Missouri (12-3) will be the 1st seed.
 
Hermitage (9-6). If they beat Donelson, they will be the 2nd seed. If they lose, they will come in second in the division and be the 4th seed.
 
San Pedro (9-6). If they beat Philadelphia and Hermitage beats Donelson, they will come in second in the division and be seed #4. If they beat Philadelphia and Hermitage loses, they will win the division and become seed #2. If they lose, they will come be third in the division and will be seed #5.
 
Philadelphia (9-6). If they beat San Pedro and Hermitage beats Donelson, they will come in second in the division and be seed #4. If they beat San Pedro and Hermitage loses, they will win the division and get the 2nd seed. If they lose, they will come be third in the division and will be seed #5.
 
Knoxville (8-7). They will either be the 3rd or 6th seed. If they defeat Wausau, they win the division and will be seed #3. If they lose and Ohio defeats Dakota, they still win the division because they swept Ohio. If they lose and Dakota beats Ohio, they place 2nd in the division because Dakota swept Knoxville during the season. If they lose and New England defeats NW Missouri, both teams will be 8-8 but Knoxville will get the 6th seed because of win percentage in common games. Knoxville went 7-2 (78%), New England went 6-4 (60%).
 
Ohio (7-8). If they lose to Dakota, they are out. If they win, they get the 6th seed. Even if New England wins and also goes 8-8, Ohio defeated them in week 13.
 
Dakota (7-8). If they lose to Ohio, they are out. If they win and New England wins, they win the net point tie breaker and get the 6th seed.
 
Simpson Conference
 
The first 3 seeds are fixed: Tillman, Nashville and Steeltown. Great Lakes and Muncie will be the 4th and 5th seeds but in what order has to be determined. Fresno and Montcalm are fighting for the 6th seed.
 
Tillman (15-0). Lock on 1st seed.
 
Nashville (14-1). Lock on 2nd seed.
 
Steeltown (10-5). Lock on 3rd seed.
 
Great Lakes (12-3). If they win or Muncie loses to Dallas, they have the 4th seed. If they lose and Muncie wins, they'll get the 5th seed.
 
Muncie (11-4). They will be the 5th seed unless they win and Great Lakes loses.
 
Fresno (8-7). They must win and Montcalm must lose to get in the playoffs. Montcalm wins any ties because of a 27-20 victory over the Outlaws in week 10.
 
Montcalm (8-7). If they win or Fresno loses, they are the 6th seed. They defeated Fresno in week 10 so ties go to the Panthers.
