USFL Week 7: Stallions and Generals Clinch Playoff Berths

USFL - With three weeks to go in the USFL’s inaugural season, the playoff picture is as clear as can be.

Two teams – the Generals and the Stallions – punched their ticket to Canton this weekend. One more team – the Gamblers – was mathematically eliminated. That means only five teams still have things to play for as the league wraps back around to finish off its divisional matchups. That’s rather unfortunate, but it’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. When you have half the league making the postseason, and no reward for finishing first in a division, sometimes obvious results become obvious early.
