Magic number for each team

Note: The magic number is the points needed in order to safely clinch a spot. Since there are only 20 points up for grabs this week, a team with a MN higher than 20 cannot safely clinch, and is not likely to make the playoffs.

CLINCHED - Team has already qualified for the playoffs
ELIMINATED - Team has already been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs
N/A - Team's Magic Number is above 20

not sure about the rest but utica hasnt clinched yet. the site says we have but i think it assumes theres 2 wildcards instead of top 4 from each division. if we lose out and albany wins out they would be at 97 and we would be at 92 so pretty sure our magic number is 6. might want to double check the other divisions to see if its the same.

 

I didn't really put much thought into it, seeing as I just went with the website assuming it was right. Thanks for pointing it out though
