Atlanta, GA – The final week of the regular season has arrived and one game remains to determine the final seeding for the Western Conference post-season play.

No. 1 – Crescent City Kings (10-0). Kings complete the 2022 season with a perfect 10-0 record. After walking away with the Presidents Cup in 2021, they once again prove to be the dominant force. As the top seed in the Western Conference, they obtain a first round bye in the post-season and home-field advantage throughout.

No. 2 – Mississippi Dynasty (9-1). Dynasty’s only loss in the regular season came at the hands of the Conferences No. 1 seed. In each of their remaining 9 games they dominated their opponents while giving up an average of 3.5 points per game over the course of those 9 games. Their first round match-up rests on the outcome of Mobile Miners vs Arkansas Punishers. With a Punishers victory, Dynasty will face Walton County Chiefs. Any other outcome in the Miners vs Punishers contest, Dynasty will face Arkansas Punishers in round 1.

No. 3 – Greater Pensacola Jets (8-2). Jets have surprised many over the course of the 2022 regular season. As with the Dynasty, their round 1 match-up will depend on what takes place in the Miners vs Punishers contest. With a Punishers win, Jets will play host to the Punishers. With any other weekend outcome they will face the Walton County Chiefs.

No. 4 – Bayou Lacombe Cardinals (8-2). Going into the final weekend of the regular season, only one post-season match-up has been determined in the Western Conference. No. 4 Cardinals will play host to No. 5 Rampage in a re-match of an earlier contest this season. In that one, Cardinals walked away with a convincing victory.

No. 5 – Crescent City Rampage (7-3) – Rampage will take to the road for the second time this season to face the Cardinals. Cardinals handed the Rampage their first loss on the season and will look to also hand them their last.

No. 6 – Walton County Chiefs (7-3) or Arkansas Punishers (6-3). With a Punishers on field victory over the Miners they will complete the season as the No. 6 seed as they hold the tie breaker over the Chiefs. A loss, tie, or win by forfeit and Chiefs will complete the season as the No. 6 seed as they would maintain a higher overall percentage.

No. 7 – Arkansas Punishers (6-3) or Walton County Chiefs (7-3). With a Punishers on field victory over the Miners they will complete the season as the No. 6 seed as they hold the tie breaker over the Chiefs. A loss, tie, or win by forfeit and Chiefs will complete the season as the No. 6 seed as they would maintain a higher overall percentage.

*After each weekend of the post-season, teams are re-seeded with the higher seeded team playing host to the lower seeded team.
