Looks correct to me. The order you have listed is the order of regular season finish and the number on the left is the final standing after playoffs.

What will happen with TBDs team? GOing to get someone to take over? Will there be a draft for the players? Mildly annoyed that this dude jumped ship, after insisting to doing the redraft of the players on that team with me, even though he was late by multiple hours and we were about to just assign that team to me. Had I known the system, my team would look very different now lol.
