1.Oklahoma City Spartans 11-0-0
Last week: 1 High: 1 Low:1
Upset of the week as the Spartans lay low the mighty Minden Musketeers. No one could have expected the Spartans to ruin Minden’s perfect season. That’s the headline in some bizarro world where down is us and the sky is purple. Domination as per usual. Minden all but abandoned their ground attack to keep it in the air, but the strategy still didn’t pan out.
2. Los Angeles Reign 10-1-0
Last week: 2 High:2 Low:6
I expected Fresno to put up a little more of a fight but the Reign trounced them 43-0. The next big matchup for them is against San Jose which should be an epic defensive battle.
3. Over The Rhine Red Dots 9-2-0
Last week:3 High: 3 Low:9
A decisive win over the Flyers keep OTR steady at number three. The Dots kept it on the ground with Cooter Splitter racking up a century and a half in rushing yards. He’s seventh in the league in rushing and provides a good counter balance to QB Canton Cannon. The circled date on OTR’s calendar is a showdown with the Spartans in three weeks.
4. San Jose Chupacabra 8-3-0
Last week: 4 High:4 Low:13
The Chupacabra offense looked solid for a second week in a row. If their defence can keep their top form and the offense can get rolling, this team can make some noise in the playoffs.
5. Little Haiti Voodoo 8-3-0
Last week: 5 High:3 Low:10
Hammered on league whipping boys, Boston. Voodoo QB Big Nicky has overtaken Canton Cannon as the west’s leading QB. Pro Bowl anyone?
6. Florida Bulls 8-3-0
Last week: 6 High: 5 Low:9
It’s a week of pummelling. The Bulls did their part in pounding on the OKC Outlaws 47-0. The Bulls have a tendency to run hot and cold but I don’t think they have the heat to test the Spartans.
7. South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice 7-4-0
Last week: 7 High: 6 Low:9
Hard fought defensive affair against Reno gives the Mice another win- their fifth in a row. Apart from a game against the Spartans, the Mice have a cakewalk of a schedule left. Congrats South Otto…start prepping for the playoffs.
8. Reno Marauders 5-6-0
Last week: 9 High: 2 Low:9
Hung in against the Mice in a gritty contest. A good offseason will do wonders for this team if they stick together. Some games the performance is there, others it isn’t. A little more consistency and they’ll challenge for playoffs next year.
9. Fresno Fire 6-5-0
Last week: 8 High:3 Low:9
Barely showed up against LA. Sure, we didn’t expect an offensive explosion from them, but LA moved the ball easily against a sad sack Fire defence. What happened to this team you ask? Simple. Their five in a row to start this season are all now in the bottom half of the power rankings. Pretenders.
10. Colorado Springs Flyers 3-8-0
Last week: 10 High: 3 Low:12
Played OTR well….with the exception of the second quarter. The Flyers fell asleep as the Dots racked up 23 unanswered. The Flyers can cheer up though as they have a winnable game against the Minnesota Americans next up.
11 . Bay Area Bastards 3-8-0
Last week: 13 High: 10 Low:13
Took out some aggression on Minnesota in a 30-3 drubbing. Tough haul up next against Little Haiti. If Bay Area can keep its core together and work a little on their game planning, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with next season.
12 . Vallonia BeaverHunters 4-7-0
Last week: 11 High: 10 Low:16
Couldn’t get it going against San Jose. The BeaverHunters started the season very rough but have played up and down football since. I know there were some front office problems earlier in the season. Hopefully these are put to bed by the start of season 4.
13. Minden Musketeers 3-8-0
Last week: 12 High: 11 Low:15
Understandably lost to the Spartans. Not understandably continue to put Chris Lightening on the field. Dear GM schawlebnkoening, start Saeba. He’s better. Period.
14. Minnesota Americans 1-10-0
Last week: 14 High: 10 Low:15
Managed to hold on to the 14th spot only because the Outlaws and Monsters are that much worse. No further comment, looking at them makes me kinda queezy.
15. Oklahoma City Outlaws 1-10-0
Last week:15 High:8 Low:16
They have a few skill players on the roster that they need to keep next year. Probably two years away from making any noise in the conference.
16. Boston Boogie Monsters 1-10-0
Last week: 16 High: 12 Low:16
The rats are fleeing a sinking ship. The first overboard? The owner. The Boogie Monsters are officially now run by the CPU. God help the poor bastard that inherits that dog.
