Why?

Projected: each team gets its own spot, in order of its average finish across the simulated seasons (avg. finish). Most likely: the single spot it finished in most often. Tap a team for the % at every spot. Estimates, and they can be wrong.

Try the what-if →

Tap a team for every place it can finish. Clinched and Eliminated are proven; % are estimates.
Why?

Each cell is how often the team finished in that place in 1,500 played-out seasons: an estimate. Empty cells can't be reached, proven by checking every combination of the remaining results. The outlined cell is where each team stands now.

Playoff picture · Class A South, top 4 qualify · all divisions →

Noble can no longer reach the top 4. Every result still counts toward other teams' Crabtree numbers.

Why?

"Clinched" and "eliminated" are exact: they hold for every possible combination of remaining results. The highest and lowest places are exact: some combination of results reaches each of them, and none goes past them. Seeds use the same Crabtree method as the standings. Nothing here is a prediction.
