MLS Week 18 Playoff Standings

Format: Playoffs are set up as East/West brackets with the Conf Champs and runners up seeded 1-2 in those brackets.
Then
The 3-4 seeds are selected by points with GF/GA then head-head as tiebreakers; thus, for example, Crew could end up seeded #3 in West bracket, should Chivas have a worse record.

 

My picks for survivors at EOS:

East

NE
KC
Cols
DC

West

Houston
Dallas
Chivas
LA

Directions:

New York wont make it through. LA's games in hand will allow them to make a late surge and knock NY out of the playoffs.

RSL will, believe it or not, finish strong but miss the playoffs by about 6 points.

Dallas and Chivas MIGHT swap places as WC #2

 

Sounds about right to me. Obviously the Eastern conference is much harder than the West. I think if Columbus continues to do solidly, then they'll make it far. Dare I say, even make it to the Final?

Quite possibly. They seem to be jelling well now with GBS.
