12. Alexa Scimeca/ Chris Knierim USA - 13 (USA 13, JPN ??)
13. Vanessa James / Morgan Cipres Officiel FRA - 13 (FRA 13, JPN ??)
15. Yu Xiaoyu/Yang Jin CHN - 11 (CHN 11, JPN ??)

Analysis: Even with a fourth at Skate America, Ksenia Stolbova/Fedor Klimov are in the Final, as their Rostelecom win means that there is no scenario where they would be overtaken by more than three pairs. Julianne Seguin/Charlie Bilodeau have an outside shot at qualifying for the Final, and it would likely be via the 7th-qualifier rule. But because their first tiebreak is a third place, Duhamel/Radford, Scimeca/Knierim, and James/Cipres can overtake them with anything fourth or higher, and Yu/Jin can overtake them with the 2nd tiebreak if they are third or if they are second or higher.
