Here is what the top ten would like look right now after the strength of schedule tiebreaker:


1. Chicago (owned by Albany)
2. San Antonio
3. Tampa Bay
4. Arizona
5. Oregon
6. Boston
7. Cleveland (owned by Shreveport)
8. Atlantic City
9. Santa Cruz
10. Shreveport

Obviously any of these teams winning would change things, but the only tiebreakers that are close enough to swing in the final week are Boston and Oregon for the number 5 pick, Oregon's SOS of 132-108 .550 is only 3 games worse than Boston's at 135-105 .563, and Santa Cruz and Atlantic City for the 8th spot, which is also a 3 game difference with Atlantic City's 120-120 .500 just edging Santa Cruz's 123-117 .513 for the higher pick. That was a long sentence.

Plus, let's face it, Hartford's going to beat the bejesus out of me.
