Now that we've been informed that the Dual County League tie-breaker in the event of a three-way tie is first-half point differential against league opponents, we can give you a snapshot of the race for the league crown. Let's just say we envision a photo finish.

Wayland is currently out front by a small margin over Lincoln-Sudbury, but coach Scott Parseghian's troops have played one more game than both L-S and A-B.

As we've been explained the tie-breaker, the team with the lowest point differential will be eliminated in the event of a three-way tie. The winner of the head-to-head matchup between the two remaining teams would advance to the postseason.

Here's how it stands right now:

Wayland

Total: +90

Lincoln-Sudbury

Total: +87

Acton-Boxboro

Total: +76

If the standings were to end like this, Acton-Boxboro would be eliminated and Wayland -- the defending Division 1A Super Bowl champs -- would advance to the postseason thanks to their head-to-head win over Lincoln-Sudbury.

L-S boasts a head-to-head win over Acton-Boxboro, so coach Tom Lopez's troops are rooting for both his troops and the Colonials to rally past Wayland in point differential.

Acton-Boxboro took down Wayland in Week 3, so the Colonials would want Lincoln-Sudbury to falter.

Here's the remaining DCL slate:

Wayland: Nov. 9 at Bedford.

Lincoln-Sudbury: Nov. 9 vs. Westford; Nov. 22 at Newton South.

Acton-Boxboro: Nov. 9 at Concord-Carlisle; Nov. 22 at Westford.

We'll update the totals after Week 10, but expect some serious scoreboard watching on Thanksgiving Day.
