I still think 96 points will get you in. I predict 9th place will be 95 points (so no tiebreakers are in effect) and it will be LA on the outside looking in.
I don't buy the "they are the SC champs from last year, they have to get in!" Realistically, results from last year should have no bearing on this year, when the results this year are consistently worse than in the prior year.
