Conference Championship Weekend Standings

Conference Championship Weekend Standings

Commentary:
The second weekend of the playoffs turned into another brutal set of games. Five of the nine postseason franchises lost $500 on the week. Larisa Oleynik once again came out smelling like roses, winning $500 and is still perfect in the playoffs. The only team within earshot is Yaz, who won $500 as well, but still trails by $400 with two weeks to go. They are the only two franchises in the positive, with Waldo Geraldo Faldo in third place at even money.

Commentary:
Cincinnati's loss sunk a lot of teams, but Larisa Oleynik was the benefactor. Couple that with a gut-wrencher Arizona win and she is in the driver’s seat after one week. Three different franchises lost $500, which means those three are almost in a must win situation in the second week. If they don’t win $500 this week, their chances of contending for the title are slim. In the middle of the pack, there are five teams within earshot of Larisa. They must make up some ground in the coming weeks.
