Standings updated...I'll get Game 6s out later tonight

We've got 8 of the 12 playoff spots secured heading into the final week of the regular season, but still plenty of seeding to be decided.

Also remember, we'll return to the more intense play-by-play format for the playoff games.

Carolina is the first to seal a win in Week 13 and had claimed the Central Division title and a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Still a few active games in the week 13 set, but W/L results are pretty apparent in those matches, so I've created the playoff bracket. I'll give it 24 hours to confirm the slots are correct, and we'll get to the playoff phase of this tournament, which means a return to the more intense round-by-round game format.

We have Orlando vs. Tampa Bay in a regional rivalry in one quarterfinal game, while Milwaukee takes on Portland in another.

Two wildcard games still too early to call.

All quarterfinal games are active.

Colorado beats Iowa 57-32 in the biggest of the wildcard wins, led by its QB who completed 20 of 24 passes for 181 yards with 6 touchdowns. The Crush found the end zone six times in the first half to take a 44-12 lead into the break.

San Jose held off Philadelphia 43-34 in the last wildcard game to finish, scoring on 9 of its 11 drives. The Sabercats kicker went 5-for-6 on field goal tries to keep putting points on the board, while the team's running back averaging almost 10 points per carry with a touchdown.

Aaronvollrath and the Milwaukee Mustangs are taking it to my Portland Forest Dragons putting up 32 points in the first quarter, including two safeties, to build a 56-3 lead early in the second half. The Mustangs won all six maps to start.

In another quarterfinal game Tampa Bay holds a 40-25 lead over Orlando heading into the start of the fourth quarter. Tampa put up a 30-point second quarter that included a 56-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Orlando is driving in Tampa territory looking to close the gap.

The Milwaukee Mustangs put together a huge 4th quarter and capped off a 102-18 win over Portland in the first quarterfinal to go final.
