The rankings below are based off of nothing but roster evaluation, past records (seasonal, playoffs, and scrimmages), team chemistry, and personal knowledge of the team. I didn’t use a greasemonkey script or spreadsheet or anything fancy; just my opinion. These rankings are up for debate amongst yourselves on the forums, but if you want to move up in the rankings; you’ll have to prove it on the dotball field!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
– The Vancouver Lions move up to Average
– The Corpus Christi Illegal Aliens fall to Below Average
– The Northwest Nighthawks also fall to Below Average
– The SOUTH GEORGIA GROWL move up to Below Average
– The Las Vegas Flyin' Elvis fall to the Meh category

SOUTH GEORGIA GROWL are still in it after a much needed win against CCIA they now hold that tie breaker that could come into play. They need to continue this run, but up against the mighty Hedgehogs; this could be tough to do.
Timpanogos Thunder are still in it after winning their first match up to close out the season. It was nice to see them turn things around, but their work isn’t done. They’ll need to continue this success if they want to earn a spot in the playoffs.
Las Vegas Flyin' Elvis are on the bubble and almost done. They have to win their next game which they face a monster of an opponent with the Marauders. A loss here and it’s all over for the Flyin’ E, but a win to keep them in the hunt will give them a prize match up to decide their fate against CCIA.
Houston Toros drop their first game to close out the season, but they’re still in it. Their next game against the Nighthawks is crucial to make it in; after which they face the hungry Thunder. The Toros need to be at the top of their game if they want to succeed in making the playoffs.
Northwest Nighthawks dropped their match up with the Thunder and now face a must win game with the Toros or they could be knocked out of the playoff hunt. It’s playoff time for you now as you’ve got to focus on winning now.
Corpus Christi Illegal Aliens drops a game to the GROWL which will hurt them since they now have to face off with Austin. Maybe they overlooked the GROWL and were focusing on Austin, but they need a win here before they get a chance to ruin the Flyin’ E’s chances for playoff glory.
Summer Rental is done for the season. They have 2 bye weeks and face a slumping Thunder that they should be able to roll. They have clinched a playoff berth and with their easy schedule they probably have a home game as well.
New Jersey Battalion and Bortsville Mystery Nerf can clinch a playoff spot with a win this week, but they have 3 tough games to close out the season. Rankings for the playoffs are very important and as much as they would love to get revenge against the Hedgehogs; they probably would rather wait to face them. (NOT MUCH CHANGED HERE)
Austin Longhorns have clinched a playoff spot, but failed to take down the Marauders. With a huge tie now points could come into play. Austin is looking strong and should be fine, but a loss against a top team can’t sit well with them; their final game of the season could be HUGE for their rank.
Minnesota Marauders have clinched a playoff spot and a home playoff game. They look very strong as they close out the season, but will still need to show up against the Battalion to close out the season. As of right now they have a lock on 2 home playoff games a well.
Chicago Hedgehogs… well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK0l2tqFDvM do I really need to say more? How about home field advantage is almost locked up.
Home field advantage is still up in the air as the top teams still have solid matchups this season.

Eliminated: Louisville Nighthawks, Detroit Demon Lions, Czech Yourself, Oregon Ducks, American Freedom, and Tennessee Fury.
Louisville Baby Kittens are still in as they finished off the Fury. They need to keep their focus as they face the O and another big game. A win here could be HUGE as they make a playoff run, but they can’t slip against the Czech either.
Pittsburgh Steel Riders is still in it and after their bye week they have to face off with two of the top teams. This is PSR’s playoffs if they expect to advance; now’s the time to shine!
Vancouver Lions are on a tear right now and are really showing they want to make the playoffs and more. They still have two games ahead, but winning against APP has really showed they can win when needed. Remain focused and you’re in.
Over The Rhine Red Dots is still cruising, but have a big game against the Lions coming up. This could have an impact on playoff ranking and a possible exit from the playoffs; however, OTR gets the luxury of a bye week to close out the season.
Atlanta Purple Penguins have clinched a playoff spot; well there is a miracle situation where they might not have, but its close enough for me to call. I wrote that last week and then they go and lose? This chance still exists, but considering they have a bye week they should be okay. However, that loss can’t have made them feel good about going into the playoffs.
***Official*** Footballguys lost their first challenge and should destroy the Baby Kittens, but after that loss they have to be worried about their matchup with the Mice to close out the season. I wouldn’t overlook the Baby Kittens, but you need to get ready for the Mice.
Minneapolis Masterminds have clinched a playoff spot, but that loss to the Fury may come back to haunt them with their rankings. Their match up with APP could be big, but they get a bye week and a failing PSR before them. (NOT MUCH CHANGED HERE)
The Blazing Chocolate Turtles have clinched a playoff spot and are close to clinching a home playoff game. They have a couple road blocks along the way, but should close out strong and could take a shot at home field advantage. Their match up with the Mice is HUGE and could give them a glimpse of a possible playoff outcome.
Grand Haven Mist have clinched a playoff spot and are close to clinching a home playoff game, but their regular season is over as they get to coast their way to the playoffs. The Mist are sitting very strong for 2 home games and will be Chocolate Turtles fans in a couple of weeks to get a chance at taking over the top spot. The Mist lead the way points wise and could come out as winners in a tie. (NOT MUCH CHANGED HERE)
South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice have clinched a playoff spot and a home playoff game. They still need to close out strong to keep the top spot, but they’ve been cruising all season. Now it’s time to face some big teams and determine if the Mice are in the right spot or not.
Home field advantage is still up in the air as the top teams still have solid matchups this season.
