FIGHTING FOR THE TOP SEED
1) Tulsa Teamsters (last week #1)
Tulsa has continued to kick ass over this easy stretch as expected, and frighteningly their chemistry is all the way up to 98. They get one more patsy versus Starkville this week before they hit the final stretch. Fremont will prove a serious test and could steal the 1 seed with a victory; a French Lick team with nothing to lose will doubtless put it on the line the following week.
2) Fremont Warriors (last week #2)
Fremont is eagerly anticipating their matchup with Tulsa next week. Not so fast my friend! The South Georgia Growl have the inside track for the playoffs, but a win over Fremont would really seal the deal. Fremont has the ability to win this one comfortably, but they can't look ahead too much.
JOCKEYING FOR HOME GAMES
3) Walla Walla Wackers (last week #3)
Walla Walla faces off against Island Shaka Brah's in the only real big game this week, so all eyes will be on them. Both have suffered heartbreak earlier in the year at the hands of a missed AI call, so you can expect that both will have all the wrinkles ironed out and will bring their A gameplans for today's **Game of the Week**
4) Island Shaka Brah's (last week #4)
Island Shaka Brah's look to regain some of the luster they carried earlier in the year, before being upended by Fremont and Tulsa. A win here in the **Game of the Week** would guarantee a rankings jump for next week.
HAPPY TO BE IN
5) French Lick Liquors (last week #5)
French Lick suck tbh. Nothing to say about them until they face off against Tulsa at the end of the year imo.
6) LaCrosse River Rats (last week #6)
LaCrosse nailed down a playoff spot with a win over Las Vegas two weeks ago. This is a trap game for LaCrosse, as this week's matchup with the Washington Blitz means a lot more for Washington. LaCrosse losing here could significantly destabilize the playoff picture as it stands right now, but they've got the horses to win.
PROBABLY IN
7) Las Vegas Villians (last week #7)
The Villians will get an easy win over the Tulsa Doom this week. In fact, if I were them, I'd start preparing to face Washington Blitz the following week. The Villians look to be in right now, but a win over the Blitz would seal it for them.
8) South Georgia Growl(last week #8)
South Georgia beat the Washington Blitz to put themselves in good position to make the cut. Unfortunately, they close with Fremont, French Lick, and the Washington Caps in their final 3 games. Ouch! Let's hope the Blitz don't get hot and South Georgia can slide in safely.
JUST MISS THE CUT
9) Washington Blitz (last week #9)
Washington lost their big game against South Georgia two weeks ago, and now they're on the ropes. They are holding out hope though. Washington faces LaCrosse and Las Vegas in their next two; both are winnable games, although they'll be favored in neither. Take one or *gasp* both of those games, and they give themselves a real chance. Lose both, and they're out for good.
REBUILDING TAKES TIME
10) Lone Star Leopards (last week #10)
Lone Star Leopards get French Lick this week, which is unfortunate. Hopefully they play well for pride. After French Lick come two very winnable games against Smash Mouth and Rhode Island, so if all goes well they'll be able to finish the season with a little bit of fan support.
11) Tulsa Doom (last week #11)
Tulsa Doom are done winning for the season. Upcoming games include the Villians, Shaka Brah's, Blitz, and one of the East's finest, the Drunks. Eh well, at least they got the spotlight early in the season when they were beating up on patsies.
12) Chicago Shockers (last week #12)
The Shockers match up with the Revolutionaries in a matchup that would be the pillowfight of the week if there wasn't another, far more dreadful game on the slate this week. By resume you might think either team has a shot, but Chicago has much higher levels and will probably pull away from Rhode Island in this one. Chicago needs to take advantage, because upcoming games against Walla Walla and Island Shaka Brah's will be ugly.
13) Rhode Island Revolutionaries (last week #13)
Another winnable game for Rhode Island, although they probably shouldn't be favored. They have an easy slate to close it out: after the Shockers they get the Team formerly known as Hobbs Gerbil Wranglers, followed by the Lone Star Leopards. Gotta get at least one for respect imo.
14) Starkville Cows(last week #14)
In what will probably be the ugliest game today, the Cows face off against the Tulsa Teamsters. Unfortunately, things don't get any better for Starkville going forward, with LaCrosse and Las Vegas still on the slate. Better luck next year?
HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE
15) The team formerly known as Hobbs Gerbil Wranglers (last week #15)
Sweet, another team I don't have to take seriously
16) Smash Mouth Silverbacks (last week #16)
