QFL 1 Movers and Shakers Playoff Outlook Edition

Week 11 is here.  Week 10 has passed and along with it went the hopes and dreams of several teams.  Let’s take a look at the playoff picture:

IN

#1 TENACIOUS Q (9-1, 785.65)

Analysis: TENQ continued to roll in week 10, overcoming a negative score from the Arizona D/ST to secure a pretty workmanlike victory (5 players with more than 10 points, no players with more than 15 points.  TENQ had already locked up a playoff spot last week, but is now looking like a lock for a playoff bye.

#2 STORMTROOPERS OF QUINCE (8-2, 667.18)

Analysis: SOQ locked up a playoff spot despite benching Brady’s 27.2 points.  The eighth victory was a big comfort for a team that missed the playoffs two years ago with a 7-6 record.  SOQ still has the fewest points in his division, but is 4-0 within the division and has a decent shot at a playoff bye.

Editor’s Note: SOQ is looking to acquire a high-end WR for the wishbone formation and Brandon Marshall, Ryan Grant and QUINCE’s 1st rounder are all on the table.

STILL FIGHTING

#3 ORIGINAL QUINCELAR (5-5, 843.54)

Analysis: OQ had an impressive win in week 10 and is now the league scoring leader and QFL West division leader (2 wins over Shane).  However, at 5-5, a playoff spot is not assured, even with a 3-1 division record.

Editor’s Note: Points reflect strong Thursday night performances from Chicago D/ST and kicker (30 points combined).

#4 QUINCING BY COMMITTEE (6-4, 655.36)

Analysis: QBC fell victim to the TENQ machine this week and is still very much on the bubble at 6-4 with a 2-2 division record, but is still ahead of QUINCE because of a head-to-head victory.  Week 13 will be big.

#5 QUINCE (6-4, 722.42)

Analysis: QUINCE’s absurd prison raping of BQP in week 10 was huge and puts them in a neck and neck race with QBC that will likely go down to the final regular season game in week 13.

#6 BERNARD Q. POLLARD (5-5, 678.53)

Analysis: Crushing defeat in week 10, but still not out of contention due to the poor performances from the West and South divisions.  Plus he beat FAHQ and OQ head to head so has the edge regardless of who wins the West.

#7 FAHQ (5-5, 641.79)

Analysis: Crushed FREDNEQ in week 10 to move past them in the standings and stay on the playoff bubble.  It’s going to be a battle though.  Pretty much need to win out to guarantee a playoff spot.  Otherwise, will need some help.

#8 FREDNEQ (4-5, 681.41)

Analysis: I’m including FREDNEQ in the “STILL FIGHTING” category because there is an outside chance that they make it if they win out, but you wouldn’t know it from the performance they put out in week 10.
