Warrior General Games

With a win today against a very tough Anchorage team, Farkistan has mathematically cinched home field throughout the conference playoffs. Count on us still playing tough to defend our perfect record and hopefully lock up home field for the League title game.

Great game out there today Anchorage. Clearly one of the toughest games we've played all year.

Thanks. Yes, very good game. Your the team to beat. Maybe we'll get another shot at you guys in the playoffs.

Not to wish you ill will, but jeez I hope not. Can't speak for the rest of the team, but you, Oakland, and the Alchoholics are the teams I don't wanna see in the playoffs. Not to take anythiong away from the Breakers or the Chupacabras, but I think we just match up better against those teams on a personnel basis.

Of course as those 3 teams happen to be 3 of the top 5; we're probably going to have to face one at least, if not two of them. Its going to be a tough post season for sure.

We're an active bunch. Considering where we recruit from... its a good guess most of us live in our mother's basement and are online 23 hours a day.

I have a Canadian girlfriend and I'm getting a kick out of these replies

uhoh! Have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

Congrats to my guys for locking up homefield throughout. Now, you'd better not screw it up so we can actually use homefield throughout!

Just had to pull this out of the graveyard... But I just had to point out... the teams I said would be the toughest to play >< Anchorage and Oakland were locks for the upset. That was not Austin looking passed Oakland, Oakland is hands down the better team.

I think the playoffs have done it right so far. The four best teams are the four teams remaining.

Brick and the power rankings had Oakland #9

Didn't really do them justice... They were a different team the second half of the year. They started 3-4 and finished 8-1. If you just did a power ranking for the last 8 games they would be much higher. Additionally, the power rankings calculations assume the two halfs of the conference are approximately equal.. in my opinion they are not. I think that West was a far margin tougher to play against. Its a little difficult to gauge really, as the results of best measure we would have, the inter-conference games in week 16, were corrupted by teams playing second stringers. However, top to bottom, if you look at average player level among the starting 22 on each team, the West beats the east hands down.

Not saying that levels is king or anything, but after Farkistan Oakland is the highest average level of any remaining team... Even more so if you count the kickers (I didn't in doing my calculation)

In the end though, levels are NOT the final indicator. Look at the Penguins, their average player level amongst their starters is greater even than the Squirrels, so it really is subjective. Certain positions certainly matter more than others. Game planning matters, depth matters, even luck... matters. In the end its simply from watching tape on all the teams in the conference, and again, I'm sure I'm biased, but Oakland scares me more than either team from the east. Not saying they are better, just that our specific strengths match up better against those two teams than Oakland.

--------

I know I'm biased, but Farkistan has to be the favorite to win it all at this point. Not saying we are a lock or anything, four very solid teams remain. I think we are the favorites. After us, I think Oakland is just as good as either team from the East.

I really feel its pretty much anyones game at this point. I think we have an edge, but not a large one, and it wouldn't damage my pride to lose to any of the other three teams remaining.
