The last week of regular season play in intramural softball took place this week, further solidifying a somewhat confusing playoff picture heading into next week's Division I and II playoffs.
After wins over Main Moon and Colgate Hockey last week, Theta Chi A emerged as the top team in League A at 3-0. With the win over Colgate Hockey and a win to start the season against Sigma Chi A, Theta Chi A needed only one win in its final two regular season games to secure the top seed in the Division I Playoffs.
While the winner of the Sigma Chi A-Colgate Hockey game will likely get the second seed in the Division I Tournament next week, the fourth seed could go to Yo Mets A. Despite being in League B, the Yo Mets A squad has started its season at 3-0. With a sweep of Sigma Chi B and Lambda Lambda Lambda this week, the Yo Mets will likely garner the fourth spot.
The remaining higher seeds in the Division I Playoffs could go to a variety of teams from League A to League C. As of Wednesday Delta Kappa Epsilon A and Main Moon both stood at 1-2 in League A, but their superior strength of schedule favors them over teams in Leagues B and C. However, League B upstarts Sigma Chi B and Lambda Lambda Lambda, which notched a win over Yo Mets A this week, could easily gain home-team status for the first-round of the playoffs.
In addition, intramural softball fans must not overlook League C, perhaps the most competitive league of the season. Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Tau A both stand at 3-1 in the league at the end of the regular season, and their impressive on-field performances should be good enough for the three-man Intramural Softball Selection Committee to give them one of the top eight seeds.
The Division II playoff picture is just as murky as in Division I. At 3-1 in League D, Chico's Bail Bonds - by way of a defeat of the 3-1 Great Colgate Ballers - is the top team in the toughest Division II league. However, the Panty Raiders finished the League E season at 5-0 and look to steal the top seed from Chico's Bail Bonds.
