OUTLAWS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| For
1984, the Oklahoma Outlaws were aligned in the
USFL's Central Division along with the Chicago
Blitz, Houston Gamblers, Michigan Panthers and
San Antonio Gunslingers. |
| -- |
| The
only thing preventing the 6-12-0 Outlaws from a
last place finished were the Blitz, a franchise
that was abandoned by its owner prior to the
start of the 1984 season. Operated by the
league, the team finished 5-13-0. |
| -- |
| For
1985, the relocated Arizona Outlaws were placed
along with the other six teams west of the
Mississippi River in the USFL's seven-team
Western Conference. |
| -- |
| The
Outlaws 8-10-0 record was good for fourth place
in the standings in 1985, but a change in the
USFL's playoff format for 1985 resulted in the
team failing to qualify for the playoffs. |
| -- |
| In
1984, the league's playoff format admitted each
conference's division champion along with one
wild card qualifier. |
| -- |
| For
1985 however, the format admitted the top two
teams from each conference, together with the
next four best teams, regardless of their
conference alignment. |
| -- |
| As
a result, the playoff berth that in 1984 would
have gone to the Outlaws instead went to the 5th
place team from the Eastern Conference, the
Tampa Bay Bandits. |

team's 1984 season the logo was outlined
in white and red as depicted in the

the red in the outline. |

In
the haste of putting together USFL.INFO in
time for its launch date of May 11, 2007,
this section of the site wasn't populated to the
extent desired.
If you have a piece of Outlaws memorabilia or
documents that you'd like to share, please contact
us.
We'd love to add it to the site!
