The Archers could still get first seed...
…Provided that they win their remaining games while Ateneo loses two of their games (hopefully against UP and FEU) and Far Eastern University gets shocked by unpredictable UST or National University. That way, all teams end up tied with 10-4.
If my mathematics is right, the Tamaraws should win by one against the Eagles. In that case, FEU should have a quotient of +4 while DLSU would have +5, thus giving them first seed outright while Far Eastern and ADMU go into a ‘best-of-three’ type of playoffs.
If ever the Tams are victorious by more than one, it would still be a better case scenario for the Archers with Ateneo and De La Salle having their own ‘best-of-three’ type of playoffs.
The point is, as long as all three teams end up tied in first, Ateneo would go through a playoff, unless the Eagles win over FEU by a big margin and drop their games against University of the Philippines and NU.
By the way, the battle for fourth place is just as exciting, only if University of the East couldn’t help it and sweep their last three games. Currently at 6-5, they have the best seat among the other contenders. UNLESS all four teams (Adamson University, UE, UP, and UST) end up 7-7.
This is where hardcore mathematicians come in.
