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!

* OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED - Black Sea Rebels
- The Austin Drunk Punks, Schrute Farms, and Pirgos Warlords are not officially eliminated yet, but they have to win every game and the Assault will have to lose every game in order for these teams to make the playoffs. Next week we'll see only the Warlords alive for another week until they face off with Diamond Valley.
- The Tokers have two easy games left on their schedule and a game against the Vadars that could go either way; after those games…they're looking some more losses. They'll need to turn things around quick if they want to make the playoffs as only five wins won't be close to post season action. Their next two games are must wins to stay alive.
- The Misfits should finish off 7 - 9 on paper so they've got to get an upet with one of the top teams in Alpha. They'll face off with the Mercenaries, Borg, and Serpents during the final weeks of the season and they'll need to win at least one of those games to even have a shot at post season play.
- The Dot Vadars and Brew Crew have got a great schedule to close out the season; no not because they face all the CPU teams, but because they play all the bubble teams that are trying to make it in. Their playoff hopes are in their hands; now their game against each other could be the factor on who stays home and who gets to lose the the Mercenaries.
- The Assault has at least one more win left on their schedule, but they'll face off with the Mercenaries and Serpents which should be automatic losses. Their mathups are against the bubble teams so maybe if they can pull out a win against the Dot Vadars and/or the Brew Crew, they can hold on to their playoff dreams.
- The Rage is in a bad spot as every game is now a playoff game for them for the rest of the season. They've got all the bubble teams and the Mercenaries and Serpents to close out the season. No easy games for them and their loss to the Assault could come back to haunt them near playoff time.
- The Empire has some tough games ahead, but they should be fine for the playoffs as long as they don't sleep on the wrong team. They do have to face off with quite a few bubble teams, but they should take those games. Now their matchup with the Mastadons could be interesting and with some luck could effect their playoff ranking.
- The Serpents face off with some bubble teams still and have an easy win left on their schedule, but they're looking solid for a playoff lock. Now with so many 7-3 teams right now, they playoff seeds are difficult to tell, but their game against the Demons will be important if they want a shot at that last home playoff game spot.
- The Demons have some brutal games still on their schedule including the Mercenaries, but more importantly for their playoff seed; the Borg and Serpents. If they do drop those three games, they could be in trouble; however, the game that really could make a difference for them is their matchup with the Empire. It would be easy to look past the Empire at the upcoming match up with the Mercenaries, but that could be a fatal mistake.
- The Borg's season is done, lock them in for a home playoff game as they only have their final game of the season against the Demons left. Everyone else is a walk in the park and the Borg should have no problem finishing the season at 13-3. They've got the third seed locked up, but we won't find out who they're playing for a while.
- The Mastadons' big game will come Week 16 against the Mercenaries where they will get the chance to compete for the #1 seed in Alpha; however, they still have some tough games to play before that opportunity presents itself. They could drop a game if they're not careful and lose that shot, but then again they could lose a game and still have the #2 seed locked up.
- The Mercenaries are the team to beat and everyone is bringing their "A" game against them, but they should hold strong to close out the season. I'm looking forward to their final matchup of the season, but these guys are one win away from locking up a playoff spot and only a few games away from locking up a home playoff game.

* OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED - No one
- The Astoria Titans, Valencia Bats, Glasgow Tigers, and London CPU are not officially eliminated yet, but they have to win every game and have a lot of luck from teams losing to even come close to making the playoffs. Next week should look a lot clearer for these team's fate.
- The Fleet have three easy games left on their schedule so that's one good thing in their favor. Downside is they also have Paris on their schedule to close out their schedule. They'll have to win out to be in the playoffs, but that will include taking down Paris as a must win to get in. They're still alive mathmatically, but pretty much out of the playoff hunt.
- The Skulls latest loss really hurt their chances at making the playoffs at that was supposed to be a gimmie game. The rest of their schedule does have a couple winnable games left, but it's pretty brutal and like the previous teams, they'll have to win out to compete in the post season.
- The Militia have one easy game left and then they'll have to fight with the bubble teams in order to get into the post season, but their final matchup of the season against the BLACK ARMY could end up being the determing factor on their playoff berth. That win alone won't get them in as they'll probably have to surprise one of the London teams as well.
- The BLACK ARMY started off great, but they did have a weaker schedule coming into the season. Since they started they dropped quite a few games and they need to turn things around against some bubble teams in order to make the playoffs. They do have an easy game against the Skulls still on their schedule, but this could be a trap game if they're not careful.
- The Stop Sign's latest win helped them reach their first goal of making the playoffs and they have a couple easy games still to go; granted they still have to face off with the Black Hand as well. They will need to remained focused on their matchups with the bubble teams, but they should be lock to make the playoffs.
- The Underground did lose to the top teams in the conference and still have to meet up with the Black Hand, but for the most part they're on cruise control with all the CPU teams they'll face to close out the season. They're pretty much a lock for the playoffs and could possibly have a shot at a home game for the playoffs as well.
- Porto has a mix of easy games and some brutal games that will tell what they're up against in the post season. I'd say they're a lock for the playoffs, but their rank is still hard to say as they have a few tough games ahead. With some of those tough games, they'll have to take down one of the top teams if they want a shot at a home game.
- The Chiefs have Paris and the Grizzlies left on their schedule; both are going to be tough games for them to win, but they can't sleep on the other teams either. They have some bubble team matchups that could cause problems for them and too many losses could hurt their chances at getting a good playoff seed. They should still make the playoffs, but it's not a gimmie at this point.
- The Hitmen have a great closing schedule; not counting their matchup with the Black Hand. Outside that game, they should win out and lock up a playoff spot and probably a home playoff game. If they can figure out the Black Hand, they could move up even higher in the rankings with a little help from the Chiefs or Porto getting an upset on some of the top teams.
- The Grizzlies and Paris get three CPU teams to close out their schedule, but their face off with each other will decide their rank for the playoffs; however, they will have Porto and the Chiefs coming after them. They are both a lock for the playoffs, but a loss to the Chiefs or Porto could cost them a home playoff game.
- The Black Hand had a few easy games left on their schedule, but they also have to face off with both the London teams. They should be a lock for the playoffs unless something goes way wrong, but they will still have to fight for their playoff seed and a home playoff game.

* OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED - Black Sea Rebels
- The Austin Drunk Punks, Schrute Farms, and Pirgos Warlords are not officially eliminated yet, but they have to win every game and the Assault will have to lose every game in order for these teams to make the playoffs. Next week we'll see only the Warlords alive for another week until they face off with Diamond Valley.
- The Tokers have two easy games left on their schedule and a game against the Vadars that could go either way; after those games…they're looking some more losses. They'll need to turn things around quick if they want to make the playoffs as only five wins won't be close to post season action. Their next two games are must wins to stay alive.
- The Misfits should finish off 7 - 9 on paper so they've got to get an upet with one of the top teams in Alpha. They'll face off with the Mercenaries, Borg, and Serpents during the final weeks of the season and they'll need to win at least one of those games to even have a shot at post season play.
- The Dot Vadars and Brew Crew have got a great schedule to close out the season; no not because they face all the CPU teams, but because they play all the bubble teams that are trying to make it in. Their playoff hopes are in their hands; now their game against each other could be the factor on who stays home and who gets to lose the the Mercenaries.
- The Assault has at least one more win left on their schedule, but they'll face off with the Mercenaries and Serpents which should be automatic losses. Their mathups are against the bubble teams so maybe if they can pull out a win against the Dot Vadars and/or the Brew Crew, they can hold on to their playoff dreams.
- The Rage is in a bad spot as every game is now a playoff game for them for the rest of the season. They've got all the bubble teams and the Mercenaries and Serpents to close out the season. No easy games for them and their loss to the Assault could come back to haunt them near playoff time.
- The Empire has some tough games ahead, but they should be fine for the playoffs as long as they don't sleep on the wrong team. They do have to face off with quite a few bubble teams, but they should take those games. Now their matchup with the Mastadons could be interesting and with some luck could effect their playoff ranking.
- The Serpents face off with some bubble teams still and have an easy win left on their schedule, but they're looking solid for a playoff lock. Now with so many 7-3 teams right now, they playoff seeds are difficult to tell, but their game against the Demons will be important if they want a shot at that last home playoff game spot.
- The Demons have some brutal games still on their schedule including the Mercenaries, but more importantly for their playoff seed; the Borg and Serpents. If they do drop those three games, they could be in trouble; however, the game that really could make a difference for them is their matchup with the Empire. It would be easy to look past the Empire at the upcoming match up with the Mercenaries, but that could be a fatal mistake.
- The Borg's season is done, lock them in for a home playoff game as they only have their final game of the season against the Demons left. Everyone else is a walk in the park and the Borg should have no problem finishing the season at 13-3. They've got the third seed locked up, but we won't find out who they're playing for a while.
- The Mastadons' big game will come Week 16 against the Mercenaries where they will get the chance to compete for the #1 seed in Alpha; however, they still have some tough games to play before that opportunity presents itself. They could drop a game if they're not careful and lose that shot, but then again they could lose a game and still have the #2 seed locked up.
- The Mercenaries are the team to beat and everyone is bringing their "A" game against them, but they should hold strong to close out the season. I'm looking forward to their final matchup of the season, but these guys are one win away from locking up a playoff spot and only a few games away from locking up a home playoff game.

* OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED - No one
- The Astoria Titans, Valencia Bats, Glasgow Tigers, and London CPU are not officially eliminated yet, but they have to win every game and have a lot of luck from teams losing to even come close to making the playoffs. Next week should look a lot clearer for these team's fate.
- The Fleet have three easy games left on their schedule so that's one good thing in their favor. Downside is they also have Paris on their schedule to close out their schedule. They'll have to win out to be in the playoffs, but that will include taking down Paris as a must win to get in. They're still alive mathmatically, but pretty much out of the playoff hunt.
- The Skulls latest loss really hurt their chances at making the playoffs at that was supposed to be a gimmie game. The rest of their schedule does have a couple winnable games left, but it's pretty brutal and like the previous teams, they'll have to win out to compete in the post season.
- The Militia have one easy game left and then they'll have to fight with the bubble teams in order to get into the post season, but their final matchup of the season against the BLACK ARMY could end up being the determing factor on their playoff berth. That win alone won't get them in as they'll probably have to surprise one of the London teams as well.
- The BLACK ARMY started off great, but they did have a weaker schedule coming into the season. Since they started they dropped quite a few games and they need to turn things around against some bubble teams in order to make the playoffs. They do have an easy game against the Skulls still on their schedule, but this could be a trap game if they're not careful.
- The Stop Sign's latest win helped them reach their first goal of making the playoffs and they have a couple easy games still to go; granted they still have to face off with the Black Hand as well. They will need to remained focused on their matchups with the bubble teams, but they should be lock to make the playoffs.
- The Underground did lose to the top teams in the conference and still have to meet up with the Black Hand, but for the most part they're on cruise control with all the CPU teams they'll face to close out the season. They're pretty much a lock for the playoffs and could possibly have a shot at a home game for the playoffs as well.
- Porto has a mix of easy games and some brutal games that will tell what they're up against in the post season. I'd say they're a lock for the playoffs, but their rank is still hard to say as they have a few tough games ahead. With some of those tough games, they'll have to take down one of the top teams if they want a shot at a home game.
- The Chiefs have Paris and the Grizzlies left on their schedule; both are going to be tough games for them to win, but they can't sleep on the other teams either. They have some bubble team matchups that could cause problems for them and too many losses could hurt their chances at getting a good playoff seed. They should still make the playoffs, but it's not a gimmie at this point.
- The Hitmen have a great closing schedule; not counting their matchup with the Black Hand. Outside that game, they should win out and lock up a playoff spot and probably a home playoff game. If they can figure out the Black Hand, they could move up even higher in the rankings with a little help from the Chiefs or Porto getting an upset on some of the top teams.
- The Grizzlies and Paris get three CPU teams to close out their schedule, but their face off with each other will decide their rank for the playoffs; however, they will have Porto and the Chiefs coming after them. They are both a lock for the playoffs, but a loss to the Chiefs or Porto could cost them a home playoff game.
- The Black Hand had a few easy games left on their schedule, but they also have to face off with both the London teams. They should be a lock for the playoffs unless something goes way wrong, but they will still have to fight for their playoff seed and a home playoff game.
