1. Kansas City(13-3): Was it a mistake by Matt Nagy to sit as many starters as he did with an actual bye now back in the playoffs for the first time since 2011? We'll find out.
2. San Francisco(11-5): The Demons did slump to a 2-4 finish again but will not only have a chance to get right before potentially heading back to Kansas City but should also have Justin Houston back as well.
3. Columbus(11-5): The Caps closed out a 7-1 set at the Horseshoe with a comfortable win, but the Eastern Conference championship will more resemble their first six wins, which their average margin of victory was four points.
4. Carolina(11-5): Of all the teams who were dominant at home but sort of mid on the road the Colonels could be the most vulnerable should they make it back to Columbus for a rematch, but first things first.
5. Chicago(10-6): The Enforcers were 0-3 away against the current playoff set including a 32-point drubbing last time out in Raleigh. That should be their motivation this week.
6. Seattle(9-7): During the Reign's monstrous in-season comeback their key was leaning on the run, so even with a potential Brian Hoyer return they'll need to keep that in sight.
7. Tampa Bay(9-7): In news to no one, the Sharks need to start the season as strong as they've finished the last two.
8. New York(9-7): What you're shocked that dropping a pair to the Bolts would end up leaving the Hitmen out of the playoffs?
9. St. Louis(7-9): You just wonder how many more wins better protection for Jarrett Stidham would translate to, certainly enough to nab the last playoff spot.
10. Orlando(7-9): When the Rage release Corey Linsley (who will then retire) it will serve as one last reminder of when things began to turn sour.
11. San Antonio(7-9): The Stampede didn't sign David Montgomery with the idea of him being their leading receiver.
12. Washington(6-10): The Glory could be headed for heavy turnover in the offseason, and this time it won't be solely from the quarterback spot.
13. Los Angeles(5-11): The Xtreme trajectory since the beginning of 2020: 5-11, 12-4, 2-14, 12-4, 5-11. That's too much for even the Bob Stoops-Dallas years.
14. Dallas(5-11): So naturally the Lonestars, who will have a new coach, new quarterbacks, and several other new personnel, played the last series like a playoff spot was on the line.
15. San Diego(5-11): Eric Bieniemy was thisclose to ending the season with that first sweep of a division rival, instead the Mission become the only team (along with the Bolts) not to win consecutive games at any point this year.
16. Birmingham (3-13): If nothing else, the Bolts kept the Hitmen out of the playoffs (yes, there's nothing else).
