1.14 Cincinnati Shockers
* Undefeated and kicking ass the whole way. Looks like they'll make it to the Bort Bowl, and I pity the West team that's going to have to GP against them.
* Here we are in Week 10, and they're undefeated as I expected. Quite possibly the best team in GLB right now.
1.86 Monmouth Evil Monkeys
* Have beaten more of the best teams in USAPL than anyone else. Their season never really begins until day 32 anyway.
*I hate always rating these guys so high . Will probably win out.
3 Washington Wolfpack
* They've only lost to the #1 team, but they have yet to play Minny or HHW. Last season, they went 1-1 with those teams, and if they can go 2-0 it will go a long way towards convincing me that they can challenge MEM for the conference title.
* Won over the Navs in a nailbiter. The difference ended up being a missed XP. Still have some tough games left, so they'll need to stay on their game.
4 OMFG
* The loss to the Woodys still stings, but if they can beat the Shockers it will wipe the slate clean. Not sure they can do that, though.
* Even if they didn't have their depth chart set right, a loss is a loss. They've made up for it with a great win over the Gurupies.
5.14 Minnesota Marauders
* Like WW, they still have two tough games to go: one vs. the aforementioned WW and the other vs. the Navs. I'd lay odds they lose one of those games.
* Great team. I might have them ranked higher if they were named the Midnight Marauders.
6.29 Indianapolis Gurupies
* Worst of the one loss teams, and I don't think they have any hope of beating the Shockers.
* Lost their first game of the season to the Footballguys. Not a bad loss by any means. They take on the Shockers in 2 weeks.
6.86 Lincoln Navigators
* Like other top West teams, they have two real games left. Winning against MEM may have convinced some that their S9 was a fluke, but I'll withhold judgment until after they play HHW and Minny.
* Tough 1 point loss to the Wolfpack. I tried not to drop them too much because of it, but damn there's a lot of good teams here.
7.71 Honolulu Hurricane Warriors
* True, the Navs have beaten MEM and HHW hasn't. But the Navs lost to a 7-3 team, and both HHW's losses are to 9-1 teams. I think they're more solid overall.
* They are somewhat flying under the radar right now. I do think they are the worst of the top 5 in the West though...which is not a knock on them at all.
9 Washington Slashers
* Beating the Blaze likely clinched a home playoff spot for them, and I fully expect them to finish the season without losing another game. A great first season in the Pros.
* Impressive inaugural season. Great win over the Blaze to give them the tiebreaker.
10.43 Ketchikan Kampfire Adventure Rentals
* The longer the season goes on, the more that loss against the Demo stings.
* Made quick work of the West Scranton LOLvaders.
10.71 New Jersey Blaze
* Earning the #5 spot in the playoffs (which I think they will) puts them up against the Slashers, giving them a shot at avenging a tough loss.
* Have only lost to teams above them in the standings, and still have that great inter-conference win against the Navs. Great year for them.
12.14 Compton Vikings
* Good news: All but one of the tough games are behind them, and if they keep a steady hand on the tiller, they'll make the playoffs. Bad news: They lost all the tough games. Worse news: they might lose to the Hounds.
* Very solid team who demand attention. Their offense needs work though. They're just hitting the easy part of their schedule, and will most likely be 9-4 heading into the Wolfpack game.
12.71 Over The Rhine Red Dots
* Only one of their losses I don't like is the Bullets, but that was OtR's usual "chemistry" loss. Upsetting the Slashers would be a stunner, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
* Really hard to rank this team. This may very well be too high (13th). The main thing they need is CONSISTENCY. Lose to the Bullets, keep it within 1 of the shockers, then get owned by the Blaze. I honestly think bringing in the whole new roster set them back a step.
14.43 NW Arkansas Naturals
* Exposed by the Golfers, but they'll still get to sell some playoff tickets.
* Some good wins. Some bad losses. Will make the playoffs, but I don't see them getting too far in them.
15.43 Alpine Golfers
* I expected them to turn it around, and they did. Consequently, they'll make the playoffs. Problem is, I doubt they'll make it out of the first round.
* Have won 5/6 after their horrible start. They have 3 or 4 easy games coming up, so I see them making the playoffs.
15.71 Nashville Hounds
* Beating Compton would be a big moral victory and a great way to end the season.
* Solid first year they're having, although they might have had the easiest schedule in the West so far. 5 of their last 6 are against playoff teams. I see them maybe winning 1 if they're lucky.
17.57 Columbus Woodys
* Huge improvement over last season, but I they need some more parts before they can make the playoffs.
* Great win over OFG depth chart mixup or not. This may be too high...only time will tell. They get a couple of easy games before the Blaze.
17.86 Washington Bullets
* Great scrim record, including a stunner over the Gurupies. Guess being out of playoff hunt gives you time to focus on that. Could upset the Blaze, though.
* Another very inconsistent team. They've been alternating between wins and losses every week except for weeks 6 & 7...their only win streak. That's not gonna cut it at this level if you want to make the POs.
18.14 San Diego Demolition
* The soft part of their schedule is ahead of them, so they better find that OC soon.
* Solid win over the Roughnecks. These 3-game losing streaks are killing them though. Might miss POs.
20.71 Chicago Hedgehogs
* I hear they're not going to gut. Guess they like the punishment.
* Seem to be somewhat turning things around after their horrible start. They've shown they are nowhere near competing with the top teams still though.
21 West Scranton Invaders
* All the three win teams in the West have a loss to a team they should have beat, so past history is enough to make me rank them the best of those teams. That history makes their current performance look sad.
* Congrats, you've now earned the nickname the LOLvaders from me. WHY did Bort make an exception for you guys again? Shit's disgusting.
21.71 Dread City Diabolicals
* Maybe after decline sets in, they'll move up. Tough to hang around that long, though.
* Haven't won since June.
23.29 San Diego Lightning
* If they win 5 of their remaining 6 games (and only lose to MEM) it would go a long way towards assuaging a terrible first 10 games.
* So is it fair to say their success last season was due in large part to their HUGE roster yet? These guys are mediocre now. I will give them props for keeping games close though. You gotta win them!
23.57 Richey Royals
* They've beaten some terrible teams. And only terrible teams.
* Meh. Bottomfeeders.
24.71 South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice
* Their "big" end of season game will be against the Royals. Ain't that some shit.
* Not cutting it in Pro.
26.14 Detroit Demon Lions
* TSE's terrible posting is well suited to a terrible team.
* Props for winning while your owner is in cruise control. I guess Cleveland is just that bad. ICECOLD ! with under 100 receiving yards? Uh oh.
27.14 Carolina Hammer
* They could try, but what's the point.
* These guys have been disappointing since their solid first season up here. Got their 2nd win...after losing 7 straight.
28 Texas Roughnecks
* So fine, they aren't quitting. Could they get out of the Pros for everybody else's sake?
* Sort of like the Lightning, although it's not as easy to see their problems. Apparently lawdawg can't gameplan at night.
29 Parma Burglars
* Their long nightmare is at an end.
* You guys need to do something before you find yourself back in AAA.
29.71 NY-CA Ground Pounders
* Lose to TxR, you'll be better off, trust me.
* This team used to be pretty damn good in AAA. Maybe they'll have a chance to do it again.
31 Cleveland Buckeyes
* Back to AAA, ye dog!
* You guys are bad.
32 Pittsburgh Steel
* A artificial intelligence, sent from the future to... suck.
* Undefeated and kicking ass the whole way. Looks like they'll make it to the Bort Bowl, and I pity the West team that's going to have to GP against them.
* Here we are in Week 10, and they're undefeated as I expected. Quite possibly the best team in GLB right now.
