1. Kansas City(12-3): The only winner among all playoff teams/teams in contention that weren't playing each other. Is it a harbinger of the Monarchs once again emerging from the pack to stand tall in St. Louis in four weeks?
2. San Francisco(11-4): If the Demons are to make a return trip to St. Louis, they'll officially have to make another stop in Missouri first.
3. Columbus(10-5): The Caps will kick off the weekend with a chance to nail down a spot at home on championship weekend, but a loss could also leave them at home.
4. Carolina(10-5): If Columbus falters, the Colonels can take home field back against a team who's 0-for-everyone except the bottom half of the Liberty.
5. New York(9-6): Yes, a scenario exists where the Hitmen could in fact be the ones hosting.
6. Chicago(9-6): And, while it doesn't look it, same for the Enforcers.
7. Seattle(8-7): Saturday night isn't technically a must-win, but as the Reign could see all their hard work end up at the bottom of Elliott Bay with a loss it practically is.
8. Tampa Bay(8-7): With rumors of management's unease with Todd Haley, would the solution be to find a coach you're more in sync with that can get you to 5-11?
9. Orlando(7-8): 8-8 would be somewhat of an achievement given all the injuries and the second half return to health that never quite materialized.
10. San Antonio(7-8): Colin Kaepernick returning for week 17 seems a given, but what if the Reign clinch on Saturday night?
11. St. Louis(6-9): What's more likely if Jarrett Stidham plays Sunday? 40 touchdowns (four) or 60 sacks (two)?
12. Washington(6-9): Not that it will make up for anything come next Monday, but can the Glory turn Reggie Barlow into Jim Harbaugh for one week and wreck Columbus' season?
13. Los Angeles(5-10): Mark Helfrich would undoubtedly like to end the season on a relatively high note of giving his old friend Matt Nagy something to remember going into the playoffs, but given how much the team needs a makeover (and Desmond Ridder all the sudden has bigtime question marks) he probably isn't even thinking about that.
14. San Diego(5-10): Of course it's also very possible that had Malik Willis not gotten hurt he'd be in the same spot as Ridder.
15. Birmingham (3-12): If he calls it a career this summer, A.J. McCarron got to go out in his home state even if it wasn't the way he wanted.
16. Dallas(4-11): Even worse than surpassing 2012's loss total (albeit in a 14-game season) is another reminder that the Lonestars started 3-0.
