After a tie for 1st last week, we have a unanimous #1 this week, and it should be no surprise. As many have noted, after the first 3 teams it's pretty much a crapshoot right now, so we should expect a lot of shuffling in these rankings throughout the rest of the season.
---
1. Stuttgart Blitzkreig 8-0
Average Rank 1.00
Good Results this week: W55-20 vs C-Town, W58-17 vs Stalingrad
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Last undefeated left, and a good chance to go 16-0.
lemdog - Has become the clear favorite and will be tough to take down in the rest of the way and in the playoffs
mike2686 - Blitz are the best in the conference at this point and no one can argue that fact.
evileyez - Clear #1 with not a single closely contested game since the first rankings. Brutal lambasting of SGA and Hood has them as the the fav for round 2 in the WL.
Hikariu - The other 1/2 of a two headed monster in zeta.
2. Odessa Mojo 7-1
Average Rank 2.17
Good Results this week: W24-20 vs Stalingrad, W50-3 vs Cape Town
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Only loss was a close one to Stuttgart. They're good, but not sure how good with how much other teams have struggled all season
lemdog - Nice jump from 4 to 2, just gave a beat down to the LOL Cubes and are looking good
mike2686 - We all knew they were good, but this good no one knew. Could have the type of season Buffalo had last season.
evileyez - Hello Mojo! Smacked the Cubicles and knocked off SGA to boot. For all their smack talking they are certainly backing it up with their play. Love it
Hikariu - Great HB's. Could be the best team in EE Pro. Might not lose another game, blowing people away. WL here we come.
3. The Cape Town Cubicles 7-1
Average Rank 3.00
Good Results this week: W20-19 vs Russian, W39-14 vs Buffalo, W43-13 vs Rome
Bad Results this week: L3-50 vs Odessa
comeasur337 - Destroyed by Odessa, can they hang with Stuttgart? Should have a home playoff game locked already.
lemdog - Capetown still looking tough and remain in the top tier and will be looking for a big upset in the playoffs
mike2686 - Where the hell did these guys come from
. Having a great season in Zeta and I am glad they joined the conference and made it that much tougher.
evileyez - Winning games against some quality opponents but wow, what happend with Mojo - score really sticks out from the rest. I'm confidant they are better than the Mojo game shows, that's not saying they can beat them - i'd like to see the match up again. Stut next should be a doozy.
Hikariu - Probably a farce in the top 3. Blown out by Mojo. Next week will be the test to see if it's a fluke.
4. Omaha Spider Pigs 5-3
Average Rank 5.00
Good Results this week: W25-9 vs Russian
Bad Results this week: L13-27 vs Estonian
comeasur337 - Hitting a tough stretch with Rome/Odessa/Stuttgart. Have to think of 1-2 in that stretch as a victory. Should be in the playoff hunt at seasons end.
lemdog - I guess I'll put the LOL Pigs here just becausee they laid a pretty good beatdown to RR, though not convinced they any good
mike2686 - Just lost to Buffalo but that is no knock at all. Omaha is a great team.
evileyez - Playing like a high away-seed playoff team. Winning most games they should, but still losing a few they probably should win. Close against Buff but now so much against EWC. All the teams are very close here. Waiting for someone to separate.
Hikariu - Looks like the Promotes are for real this season. Should compete for a home game.
5. Buffalo WarZone 5-3
Average Rank 5.17
Good Results this week: W21-20 vs Stalingrad, W16-13 vs Omaha
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Looking solid again after a tough start.
lemdog - Placing you guys at 9 though you could be all the way up to 4 with the way scores and matchups have gone
mike2686 - Lost to Cape Town this week badly, but had solid victories over SGA and Omaha.
evileyez - A pretty good 2nd set of 4 games and the head 2 head with the Pigs gives Buff the #3. I think there is a big separation between the top 3 and the rest however. They need to win the next set of 4 as the closing schedule is brutal.
Hikariu - Making a bit more noise. Should jump up a few spots on some quality dotball.
6. Rome Raiders 5-3
Average Rank 6.50
Good Results this week: W25-13 vs Stalingrad
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - They're the best 5-3 team imo only because of their impressive victory over SGA. Great turnaround from last season.
lemdog - Daaammnn Rome came to play this season, nice to see you guys improving and turning into a legitimate Pro Team
mike2686 - Look who is finally playing up to their potential. Welcome back Rome. We missed you on the winning side lol .
evileyez - Slipping a bit but have a nice win over SGA. Still one of the most improved teams from last season. The next 4 are pretty rough though and will likely determine their playoff situation - they better do well because Mojo and Stutt as the last 2 are not games you want to have to win to get in.
Hikariu - Climbing up the ranks with some real good AI. Should be a playoff team.
7. Russian Revolution 5-3
Average Rank 6.67
Good Results this week: W28-3 vs Estonian
Bad Results this week: L9-25 vs Omaha
comeasur337 - Typical RR lack of offense against good teams, but still dangerous. Hard to see them not making the playoffs.
lemdog - Tough loss against SGA but they have proved enough to land the #5 spot just ahead of the Pigs
mike2686 - Having a pretty rough start by RR standards. But still very solid none the less. Schedule doesn't get any easier. For anyone lol.
evileyez - Russians at 5 is an indication of their talent level and past performance. Very close loss to Cape but if they want to make some noise in the playoffs and get over that hump - they need some offense. Typically their main problem season to season.
Hikariu - Below average EE Pro team. Best players are linemen. Need an Xfactor back.
8. Stalingrad Gryphon Army 4-4
Average Rank 7.17
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: L20-21 vs Buffalo, L13-25 vs Rome, L20-24 vs Odessa
comeasur337 - Very tough week, but we've seen SGA bounce back from much worse. I'm not convinced they won't still get a home playoff game.
lemdog - Now comes the cluster fuck, everything after #3 can go a number of different ways but I'll with SGA at #4, they have had some surprising losses but I think in the end they will be on the top half of the playoff seeding
mike2686 - 4 Losses in a row? Come on SGA I know you have more in the tank then that. Are you throwing games to get the 8 seed so you can have a Blitz SGA 1st round? Come on let us know!
evileyez - Wow, what is going on in camp Stalingrad? From 4-0 to 4-4 .. not a cakewalk of a schedule but dropping all 4 is shocking. I suspect they are on cruise control but i'd suggest they attempt to pass grandma on the straight stretch upcoming.
Hikariu - WTF happened to this team, defense is a sieve.
9. Black Sea Buccaneers 4-4
Average Rank 9.33
Good Results this week: W27-24 vs Estonian
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Surprise team this season, really showing that they belong here in Pro. Will be tough to make the playoffs with that remaining schedule though.
lemdog - Team looks pretty good "pieces are in place" Keep up the good work IMO
mike2686 - Winners of 2 straight. Things are starting to look up. Probably won't make the top 8 but a strong push will certainly help.
evileyez - Best of the 4-4 but with just a win over EWC i'm not convinced of how good they are - hwoever they have a lot of opportunity with the next set of games. Could be a bottom tier playoff team, but a nice improvement over last season is reason to keep chugging.
Hikariu - 4-4. Belong here, fighting for #8 seed.
10. C-Town Hoodlums 4-4
Average Rank 9.50
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: L17-30 vs Odessa
comeasur337 - Are they really just an average Pro team? Last season says otherwise, but seems like lack of effort is really hurting them this season.
lemdog - LOL Hood is LOL, not sure what the deal is here but someones head is up someones ass
mike2686 - Having some ups and downs. But don't count C-Town out of anything just yet.
evileyez - Hmm .. following their W/L pattern says they lose to the Wheatfield and beat SGA and Cape Town. With the way they have been playing, that wouldn't really surprise me. Hood are cutting it close to turning things around and making a push - still, it's much of the same dots and GMs as before so it comes down to just wanting it.
Hikariu - Hood is Not Good.
11. Estonian Wife Carriers 4-4
Average Rank 10.33
Good Results this week: W27-13 vs Omaha
Bad Results this week: L24-27 vs Black Sea
comeasur337 - Realistically could be 7-1 right now, but they always seem to lose the close ones. Hope to see a strong push like the end of last season.
lemdog - Tough loss to Black Sea has you guys here, team looks good, try harder
mike2686 - 4-4 and ranked 11th in my Poll. Wow!! Zeta is no joke. Keep it up EWC, you are playing about as good as anyone not top 3 lol.
evileyez - Nice win over the Pigs but a pretty ugly loss to Russians still leaves me wondering where the EWC team is from a few seasons ago. Coming to reality that the Wives were a one season fluke but still a team that you can't take lightly.
Hikariu - Suprising 4-4, not sure what this team is made of yet.
12. Portland Niners 2-6
Average Rank 12.33
Good Results this week: L20-23 vs C-Town
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Should be focusing on next season, showing some promise.
lemdog - Damn near beat The Hood not that its a tough to do
mike2686 - Gets the nod at 12 due to beating Philly. Again 2-6. The next couple of seasons will get much better for your team.
evileyez - Still getting their feet wet in the Pros but they will be much better for it next season.
Hikariu - Not good at much.
13. Philadelphia Demonik 2-6
Average Rank 13.00
Good Results this week: L17-21 vs Estonian
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Won't get demoted, but needs a big reload offseason.
lemdog - You guys are awesome in everyway, you complete me
mike2686 - Philly gets the 13 spot at 2-6. Due to losing to Portland. Keep doing what your doing next season might look better.
evileyez - Not a quality win on the books but appear to be trying where as the teams below them have mailed it in.
Hikariu - Not good at much.
14. Tallinn Tigers 2-6
Average Rank 13.67
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Hopefully this is just the normal sophomore slump and they'll be contending next season again.
lemdog - Still waiting for mid season gut job
mike2686 - Getting the worst of the SO. Slump. I saw a post that said Tallin was GPing. I really hope this isn't the case. They are to solid of an organization.
evileyez - If a ship has no captain does anyone care?
Hikariu - Only better then CPU. Probably gutting after this mess.
15. Emmaus Fighting Green Hornets 0-8
Average Rank 15.17
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: None
lemdog - Emmaus will be a good team to beat on and give out some payback from a couple seasons ago
mike2686 - Just looking to be somewhat competitive in games. They'll be back.
evileyez - The bigger they are the harder they fall.
Hikariu - Who Dey? Embarrassment.
16. The Wheatfield 0-8
Average Rank 15.83
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: None
lemdog - CPU IMO
mike2686 - CPU
evileyez - CPU
Hikariu - CPU.
