With two games of the season left, these are the ten teams who are guaranteed to be playing in League One next season:
Bolton Wanderers
Bury
Charlton Athletic
Coventry City
MK Dons
Northampton Town
Oldham Athletic
Peterborough United
Southend United
Swindon Town
Five other League One teams who will likely be in the division next season include:
Sheffield United
Rochdale
Port Vale
Chesterfield
Shrewsbury Town
There's only one team who will get promoted via the League One playoffs so we'll be facing the remaining five of this group:
Millwall
Walsall
Bradford
Barnsley
Gillingham
Scunthorpe
Promoted alongside Northampton will be two (possibly three including playoffs) of the following four teams:
Accrington Stanley
Oxford United
Bristol Rovers
Plymouth Argyle
In the hunt for the League Two playoffs alongside the above teams are:
Portsmouth
AFC Wimbledon
The 24th and final team will likely be one of Fleetwood Town and Blackpool who are fighting it out over the last remaining relegation spot in League One.

It's a list I plan to update as the remaining games are played.
Rochdale is alright. We got the whole of one side when I went there. I would go again.
Port Vale is the main away game for me. We'll probably go there on a Tuesday night in November now.
Accrington Stanley at home will probably generate the smallest league crowd in Charlton history.
We could have been going to a 50k seater stadium in Newcastle. Does Rochdale even have 50 seats?
What even is a Port Vale?
None of them may be in League One next season with two sides possibly coming back up whilst Doncaster are going down further.
Your point remains.
Boundary Park is probably my least favourite away ground so far, so it's great that Oldham will be there too.
Looking at that list, a half decent squad should surely ensure a top 6 finish. Only problem is by the time Douchbag finishes his sales I suspect we will have a far from a decent squad.
Port Vale is in Stoke. I was talking to a guy who worked in the potteries, he said some away football supporters game out of the station and, thinking PORT Vale was somewhere on the coast, asked him where the beach was.
Barnsley
Blackpool
Bolton Wanderers
Bradford
Charlton Athletic
Coventry City
Oldham Athletic
Portsmouth
Sheffield United
Swindon Town
If we can't get the regime change we want, I really hope the Belgian Mafia don't underestimate just how bloody tough it is to get back out of there (going upwards anyway) once you drop in. I rather suspect/fear that they will though.
