Scenarios for matches on 2-4 September in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualification where teams could (1) clinch being no worse than 1 of the 2 best 2nd place teams or (2) be unable to qualify even if they can still finish 2nd, based on results of matches being played in other groups the same days. If a team is listed as "possibly affected" under a category but have no conditions listed, it means that there is no scenario in which they would not fit the category. For example, in Group F the worst possible finish for Burkina Faso is 2nd place with 9 points; therefor, in all the "Teams with X points will advance" categories, Burkina Faso are listed with no conditions because no matter what happens in their group they have already clinched that. If a listed scenario is struck through it means that team would already have been eliminated by the same conditions at a lower point level.
