This Week's What If for
Washington Spirit
Currently
#3
Still mathematically alive for the season in 100% of every possible way this week could go (snapshot rank this week could land anywhere from #2 to #4)

HOU vs Washington Spirit — scenarios this week

Every result across the league this week, checked in every combination — 6,561 possible ways this week could go, computed exactly.

Washington Spirit hasn't been mathematically eliminated just yet — here's whether each result below keeps that alive (possibly a delulu-alive), and what it would take either way.

If you win this week vs HOU

You could land anywhere from #2 to #3

Dream a little: could climb as high as #2 if…
  • ORL beats SD
Best tier: could lock up CLINCHED if any ONE of these happens…
  • SEA beats NC
  • BAY beats KC, and LOU beats UTA

Playoff Watch

Still in the running. Other results around the league won't affect you — but saying there's still a chance can mean lots of things. Keep the spirit alive.

"Still in the running" means still mathematically alive for the WHOLE SEASON given this week's result (same logic as the ELIMINATED/CLINCHED check on the league table) — checked exactly across every possible combination of this week's games, not estimated. The mathematical range is the absolute floor-to-ceiling of what's possible; the likely range comes from running the real simulation with this week's result locked in, showing what's actually plausible — the same "reality vs. dream" split as the rest of the site. "Could climb as high as #N" and the CLINCH/tier lines each describe one specific good (or bad) path, not something guaranteed on their own. For their full season-long picture, see their Team View.
