Guys, it has come to my attention that “mirror” team is not the best descriptor. Hopefully the examples I have suffice. If you’re the 2nd place team, you’re predicting for the 9th place team. If you’re the 7th place team, you’re predicting for the 4th place team. And so on.
Also, to address a question about ties in the standings, use the standings in which they currently appear. I’ll take a screenshot of each league. And just to be even more clear, following this post will be a list of which teams are matching up.
