I looked at all the remaining games and a number of them are just a few territories from being over so I made the assumption that the teams with just a handful of territories left would lose and updated the standings accordingly. That said many things are becoming clear regarding the seedings for Stage 3.
Ohio State locked in at #1
Maryland locked in at #2
Oregon locks up the #3 spot with a win in their final game
Assuming Oregon wins, South Carolina is locked into the #4 spot, if Oregon loses, and South Carolina wins their two remaining (which looks likely) they will have the same record and same point total so they will play a tiebreaker quad game. **UPDATED**
#5-Kentucky locked in
#6-Likely Duke unless Illinois wins all four of their remaining games (not likely as it looks like they will split those games with N.C. State at best)
#7-Michigan State or Illinois (pending outcomes of those 4 games)
#8-Illinois or Michigan State (pending outcomes of those 4 games)
#9-Princeton (assuming Illinois wins at least two of remaining four, they will bump Princeton down to the #9. Illinois can also bump Princeton down with one Triples win which would give them a better overall record and equal points)
#10-UNLV (would need to win both of their remaining games (not likely based on territory counts) and have Illinois lose all remaining games to move up)
#11-Grand Valley State
#12-Kansas
#13-Pitt
#14-Notre Dame (wins tiebreaker over Northern Illinois with a better overall record)
#15-Northern Illinois
#16-Northwestern (wins tiebreaker over TCU with better overall record)
The full standings are below, but I have a feeling what I have listed above is what the final seedings will be once the remaining games finish. I think after the weekend, we might be in a position that any remaining games will not impact the seedings and be able to start Stage 3!
