Alright well I was bored so decided to post my own rankings; Im sure it is similar to the rest but I combined the West and East. Excuse any ignorant statements I made about the West teams as I dont follow them much. I am also copying this from so hopefully it doesn't look distorted. Anyways here we go:
1. Tecmo All Stars - As always Tecmo seems to be in a class of their own. After going 17-0 Tecmo suffered a heartbreaker at the hands of the Bearphins and are once more in USA BBB #12. Tecmo wasted no time re-establishing themselves as the best team in the league. They handled New Orleans and Saint Paul (two contenders in the East) with ease and posting up shutouts. Crescent City seems to be their last formidable opponent for quite some time. Tecmo will look to continue dominance in a difficult road game.
- Outstanding Performer: LB Fred Smith (17 Tackles & 1 Forced Fumble)
2. Tana River Ewoks - The Ewoks had a very solid team last season and was able to make it the West Semis before falling to the eventual league champions. This year they are looking to be one of the top teams in the West. They brought in a new a QB who has played exceptional thus far. After beating a weak Las Vegas team they were able to knock off the Rival SLUGs by 18 points. They have a tough road ahead that will really test this team to see how much better they really are then the rest of the West.
- Outstanding Performer: QB Raul Manning (371 Passing Yards & 5 TDs)
3. Honolulu Beach Boys - The Beach Boys had a great season last season, but fell one game short of getting out of USA BBB #12. They are led by theist stud offensive line of level 20+. They also have a solid defense led by CB Paki Raider. This team could be arguably be the best in team in the West, but for now sit behind the Ewoks. We should be in for a quite a treat when week 6 rolls around and the Ewoks come to Hang Ten Stadium. But for now the Beach Boys will be in cruise control for their next two games as they pad their stats.
- Outstanding Performer: CB Paki Raider (9 Tackles, 10 PD, 2 INTs, & 1 TD)
4. Awesomeville Bearphins - After their big win over undefeated Tecmo in the playoffs the Bearphins also stood one game away from USA A ball. Unfortunately they were defeated by Sconnie and find themselves playing 2nd fiddle to Tecmo once more. We all know Awesomeville can take on Tecmo as they showed last season, but it will be no easy task. Awesomeville is balanced all the way around and they look for Awesome Lee to lead them deep into the post-season once more. Like Honolulu though they have a couple easy games before they get into the thick of things.
- Outstanding Performer: QB Awesome Lee (504 Passing Yards, 108.4 QB Rating, & 5 TDs)
5. Mighty Chihuahuas - The Chihuahuas are new to USA BB #12, but are a force. Despite their first two opponents being weak they displayed what kind of offense they have by putting up 41 and 37. They have a strong defensive line very good RB in Chuck Bowen. These next few games should really tell us how good the Chihuahuas are; it starts with Eugene tonight.
- Outstanding Performer: RB Chuck Bowen (245 Rushing Yards & 4 TDs)
6. Timpanogos Thunder - The Thunder are also new to USA BBB #12 (I think). Like the Chihuahuas they have gotten off to an impressive start with two wins. They started off by knocking off the SLUGs and then the Plague. They have no glaring weaknesses and almost all their starters are at least 16s. They have outstanding chemistry, which will undoubtedly help them out even more. Look for this team to make some noise against the Ewoks tonight.
- Outstanding Performer: CB Cezar Montalvo (6 Tackles, 6 PDs, 2 INTs & 1 Fumble Recovery)
7. New Jersey Blaze - The Blaze were an ok team this year and this year are pretty similar. The East seems to be somewhat weaker than the West and will open the door for a couple teams (#9 and #10 on rankings as well). Johnny Blazee anchors the defense and Shawn Blaze anchors the defense. These next 5 games should determine how the Blaze will finish and what they do in the playoffs. If they can take 3 or 4 out of the next 5 they should be in good shape for the homestretch.
- Outstanding Performer: CB Wallaby Woodson (10 Tackles 4 PDs)
8. Long Beach Dub All-Stars - The only non 2-0 team to make the cut should speak volume for how good they can be. They got smacked around in week 1 by Honolulu, but bounced back nicely with a win over the Inferno. Barring any upsets they should be able to get to 6-1 and be sitting pretty. They are full of high-leveled players and will undoubtedly be a player in the playoffs.
- Outstanding Performer: FS Professor Farnsworth (12 Tackles, 1 PD, & 1 INT)
9. Tampa Bay Krakens - A surprising team thus far is in a similar situation as the Blaze. After knocking off Crescent City last week Tampa Bay have really put themselves in a position to make a run in the East. The next three games should prepare for a game with Awesomeville. Tampa Bay went through new ownership late last year so they will be an interesting team to keep your eye on.
- Outstanding Performer: WR Kyle Richardson (24 Receptions, 283 Receiving Yards, & 3 TDs)
10. Philadelphia Pigeons - Rounding out our top ten is Philadelphia. I probably sound like a broken record now but Tampa Bay, New Jersey, Buffalo, Bonita, FC Hezbollah, New Orleans, Saint Paul, and them all fall into the same category. Tecmo and Awesomeville seem to be 1 and 2; and despite Crescent City’s loss they seem to be the favorite for number three. It should be interesting race for 4 through 8. The Pigeons have come far from last season and are not a pushover anymore.
- Outstanding Performer: QB Roger Strabuck (470 Passing Yards & 3 TDs)
1. Tecmo All Stars - As always Tecmo seems to be in a class of their own. After going 17-0 Tecmo suffered a heartbreaker at the hands of the Bearphins and are once more in USA BBB #12.
