This is as updated on the movement chart as I can because of the number of matches from NEC to PFU will potentially affect the standings. Denso is technically in fourth but a Springs win would push them ahead on points. A Saitama win would also push them in front of Denso as well on points. Toray could be possibly overtaken by NEC with 4 straight wins (15-14 NEC), so the 17th match is where Toray is stopped.

Only teams without a postponement right now are Hitachi, Toray and Toyota.
NEC and Denso with 4
Springs with 3
JT, Okayama, Saitama with 2
PFU and Himeji with 1.
Realistically 3-7 could make the playoffs right now, but so many of these are against each other.
JT is all but locked in to the final 3 with a magic number (combined JT wins and losses of 4th place) at 14. Plus two less matches played right now over Toray, JT is basically in the finals as their magic number for the finals is 16.
Toray's loss on Saturday has brought them back to the chasing pack a bit. Plus with the number of matches postponed, teams may catch team if they lose. Still have the points advantage compared to other teams.

League is going to have to push the season back as the number of teams fighting for 3rd are all affected and many of those matches are against each other.

I agree with Avid, KYK is a great player and I am fan, but just not last year minus the Olympic performance.
-
MBH was great all year, look at where she was in Euro club 2nd, VNL 1st, Olympics 1st. No mention. Really?
JWO as a libero was just so solid for the USA. Her being this high was actually fair.
KYK as a going away present, I could see in the top ten and yes she carried South Korea, but in the VNL they were horrible. #1 no.Most everyone else in the top 12 was fine, maybe a spot or two different, but I could live with.

right now the 2 weekends of missed NEC games, is going to throw chaos into the Top 3 berths.
wins is first in the tiebreakers. NEC is already at 11, and was just tied with 11 by Denso. Let alone Saitama at 10 and Hisamitsu at 9, who both have 2 postponed matches, each against NEC. Also just to mention NEC has not played any of these three teams yet, so 9 of their remaining matches 19 matches are here.
NEC is going to have to play these matches, because I would be really pissed if I was Saitama, Denso, Hisamitsu if they don’t get played and NEC benefits. -
Wolfdogs with more positives. Next weekends games are already postponed
-
She was just so consistent. It seemed like nothing was ever bad when she touched the ball.
-
oh, so you agree JWO is the best libero itw?
I would say just behind De Gennaro right now. She was awesome last year, comparing her in 2018 to last year was light years difference.
