MLS playoff clinchers and eliminators (Edition 1)

Well, the last week is upon us. And 4 teams are not out of the race (San Jose Earthquakes, Los Angeles Galaxy, Toronto FC, FC Dallas). The two teams that left that have a chance to make it that currently aren't in are Colorado Rapids and DC United. The East have clinched 5 wild cards, RSL will lose tiebreakers if Colorado takes the West 3rd and Colorado cannot be tied for a wild card spot. Here are the remaining playoff scenarios:


Columbus Crew - 54 pts:
Clinched Supporter's Shield/1st Seed in East
Houston Dynamo - 50 pts:
Clinched 1st Seed in West
Chicago Fire - 43 pts,
New England Revolution - 43 pts:
Chicago Fire has the tiebreaker. So Revolution need a better result than Fire to gain the 2nd Seed in the East over the Fire. Either way, Chicago Fire and New England Revolution are matched up in the first round of the playoffs.
Chivas USA - 42 pts:
Clinched 2nd Seed in West
Real Salt Lake - 39 pts:

Cannot win a wild card spot due to losing all tiebreakers.
