Team Control

The seed that a team controls is the worst seed that team could get if they win out. These are often mutually exclusive because it is impossible for teams that play each other in future weeks to both win out. If a team changed controlled seed from last week, last week’s seed is noted in parentheses

Teams that control the 1 seed:
NONO(3) SFSF NENE

Teams that control the 2 seed:
SEASEA BALBAL

Teams that control the 3 seed:
GBGB(2) MINMIN(5) HOUHOU(4)

Teams that control the 4 seed:
DALDAL PHIPHI(new) TENTEN(new) KCKC OAKOAK

Teams that control the 5 seed:
BUFBUF

Teams that control the 6 seed:
None

Teams that could win out and still miss the playoffs:
NYGNYG WASWAS CHICHI DETDET CARCAR TBTB ATLATL LARLAR ARIARI
NYJNYJ MIAMIA PITPIT CLECLE CINCIN INDIND(4) JAXJAX LACLAC DENDEN
