Assuming there is no particular order and teams left standing play each other again until 2 defeats.

T1 can win 50 games in a row (don't play themselves). T2 - T51 have 1 defeat.
T2 can then win 49 games in a row (don't play themselves and have lost to T1). Every other team except T1 and T2 now have 2 defeats. -> T1=0 and T2=1
Team1 loses to T2 -> T1=1 and T2=1
Then either T1 or T2 loses.

Total = 50 + 49 + 1 + 1 = 101
