The St. Louis Battlehawks (6-3) and Seattle Sea Dragons (6-3) enter Week 10 tied for the second and final playoff spot in the XFL North Division.
St. Louis will play Orlando, which is in last place in the XFL South, while Seattle will host Vegas, the last-place team in the XFL North.
Scenarios:
STL wins/SEA loses…STL in the playoffs
STL loses/SEA wins...SEA in the playoffs
STL loses/SEA loses…STL in the playoffs as STL’s fourth loss is a non-divisional matchup (ORL), while SEA would have four divisional losses (DC-2, STL, VGS).
STL wins/SEA wins…STL needs to score 19 more points vs ORL than SEA scores against VGS AND STL must rank ahead of SEA in total points against to win Tiebreaker 4, which is best combined ranking among division teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Tiebreaker 5 addresses the same rankings among all eight XFL teams. (Total points and points allowed are for all games but only ranked within the division.)
