Thanks to everyone who contributed for helping get this thing off the ground this quickly.
For the three people in USA Pro who DIDN'T help with the rankings, enjoy.
1. Monmouth Evil Monkeys
cwrujosh - When you blow out a team like HHW by 28, and other playoff teams by similar margins, you are the best.
remus7x - Seems like they can't be stopped on offense since Lincoln, and their d-line is having their way with everyone.
Carnage - I dont think there is any argument here.
xManning1018x - It's no surprise that MEM is the unanimous number one.
2. Lincoln Navigators
The Duff Man - Took down two favorites, then stumbled in two other games. This actually isn't a knock on them, it is a testiment to the depth in the West. No one should be surprised if they win it all.
madet0rder - I hate these guys, but damn I respect them.
PP - They took down #1. So, I'll put them 2 spots higher than I'd otherwise think they belong.
cwrujosh - I put them slightly (and it's VERY slightly) ahead of **O** because they took down MEM.
jrry32 - Played the Monkeys well, have a great rushing attack and a very good team.
3. Green Bay Maulers
xManning1018x - 12-1, with no glaring weaknesses. Shut down ***O***, which is no easy feat.
cwrujosh - Consider this. They are so dominant at rushing that they are ranked #2 overall with passing ranked #29. Best defense in PRO. You HAVE to score to beat them.
jrry32 - The addition of the Nighthawks plus Manning has put this team over the edge and have made them the odds on favorite in the East.
The Duff Man - Leading the league in rushing yards per game and rushing yards allowed per game. Great depth. Smart owner with knowledgeable GMs.
remus7x - The strong win over OFG pulls them out of the pack in the East
4. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors
Sik Wit It -Dangerous team that can compete with anybody. When the Wangs ground attack is going they are a challenge for anybody.
xManning1018x -Their rushing attack isn't as reliable as last year, but there's still some juice left in the tank.
jrry32 - They have improved with the new addition of Harper's players and again, were able to slip past the Marauders in a great game. Right now the top 4 in the West are close.(MM, MEM, HHW, LN)
5. ***Official*** Footballguys
Sik Wit It - Very close to the Navs in terms of rankings. I had to put them lower because they play in the easier conference, and loss to the #1 team in their conference.
Carnage - Pretty solid group of guys even though their owners avatar has a man gyrating
madet0rder - A long time ago, but close game vs. Pushovers gives me the worries (Woo Pushovers!)
cwrujosh - Sometimes they don't win pretty. But they usually win.
6. Minnesota Marauders
jrry32 - Are a bit inconsistent but have a strong roster, beat Lincoln and as always played HHW very tough. The next game against MEM should show how close MM is to the top.
xManning1018x - Dangerous when their D decides to show up, or when timeouts function properly, or when Galk doesn't fuck up the A.I.
MadMike52 - lost games they should have won and won games they should have lost, games against MEM and LV should give us a better idea of what this team is truly made of.
madet0rder - Game against HHW proves this team can be at the top.
7. Cincinnati Shockers
xManning1018x - In their two losses, they were outscored by a collective 3 points. VERY underrated team.
madet0rder - Win over Maulers keeps me optimistic for this classy squad.
Carnage - One of the best in the east..tough matchup for anyone
PP - Better than most ppl realize. Well built, scary team.
8. San Francisco Fire
PP - Could make some serious noise in the POs.
jrry32 - SFF finds a way to win. They are a talented team that competes with just about everyone and can win games despite being outplayed. They know their tactics well.
Sik Wit It - Great team, that can win against anyone but have shown some inconsistency in doing so. Great wins over Lincoln Navs, MM, and a huge win over the Freebirds, but a close loss to the Yotes, and questionable losses to Parma, & BSB leave them barely in the top 10.
madet0rder - Kills LVF. I see a hot streak coming...
9. Washington Bullets
PP - one of the best groups of WRs & CBs in the game.
Sik Wit It - I gotta show them some love. VERY solid team in the east with great wins over the pre-gut Pushovers, Elvis, Pirates, and Coyotes.
cwrujosh - Every season they are discounted despite their record. There is no reason for that, and with their playoff nemesis Philly out the way, and with them running the ball like they are...watch out.
jrry32 - Good ballclub with the great Ledyard on them. They will be tough to beat in the playoffs unless you use the Pump Fake exploit.
10. Las Vegas Freebirds
MadMike52 - That game against SF told us a lot about this team. They need to rebound and steal an upcoming game (HHW, MEM, or MM).
jrry32 - They are tough to rank. They are just now starting to play the toughest teams and got blown out by SFF although I think that was a bad game as they played Lincoln very close. We'll see how they do over the next 3 games.
The Duff Man - The last of the "Top 6" in the West. With so many good teams, there will be some very interesting first round matchups, with at least two very good teams who don't move on to round 2.
madet0rder - Schedule is brutal, and losing to the Fire makes it look even worse. 11-5 finish?
11. Detroit Demon Lions
The Duff Man - Stubbed their toe repeatedly early in the season, but looks to be rounding into form lately.
cwrujosh - Whatever was wrong has been fixed, and fixed completely. A very dangerous team to play in the first round.
Carnage - still a very scary team despite their record..I still wouldn't wanna play them in a deciding game.
12. Kalamazoo Coyotes
xManning1018x - madet0rder's LB has 23 missed tackles for the Yotes. Hopefully he ranks teams better than he builds linebackers
cwrujosh - Just recovering from major chem issues, but took some tough losses as of late. Has two huge games to close out the season, and the talent to get it done.
13. Las Vegas Flyin' Elvis
PP - Their GPs show they do a good job scouting.
cwrujosh - 1st ranked offense in all of PRO. Their tackling issues are well documented.
14. Gridiron Rage
madet0rder - This team has the ability to upset any team, literally any team.
xManning1018x - They may be 7-6 but are one of the most unpredictable teams, and always catch a few of the top teams off guard.
cwrujosh - They control their own destiny into the playoffs, will they grab it?
15. Orlando Pirates
Carnage - I like Orlando but I hate pirates. still and all they are a solid team with a good core group in which they can only build on and move up.
cwrujosh - The tale of two teams. You never know what version of this team you are going to get. It's next three games are brutal, but if they can manage a win, they will probably be in the playoffs.
16. Richmond Rebel Yell
Carnage - what can be said about richmond that hasnt been said about the cardinals..if their passing game is on..you can forget about the W
cwrujosh - Top passer in the league, and has beaten most of the teams it's tied in record.
17. Bourbon Street Bullies
madet0rder - Too bad records don't show close losses.
cwrujosh - Gave the Navs a real time and playing very well right now.
18. Columbus Bucks
madet0rder - If you're playing them, be scared.
xManning1018x - Will more than likely end up 6-10 with an extremely tough three games coming up.
19. Parma Burglars
madet0rder - Looked like they were going to be a championship contender in the beginning of the season. Still a great team, but things have gone downhill.
20. Las Vegas Gamblers
Carnage - Took them some time to get things going, they should be great in seasons to come.
PP - Seem to have figured out what it takes to win up here.
21. Rhode Island Red Wolves
Carnage - Being a guy from the east, they are not a team that you can look over or you might find yourself with a Loss on your record.
PP - Far better than most outside of the East realize.
xManning1018x - A team that seems to get better every season, don't be surprised if the make the POs next season.
22. Oklahoma City Thunderstorm
madet0rder - Tough last six games has them on the borderline for the playoffs.
cwrujosh - Fortunately get the CPU Penguins to end a 6 game slide.
23. South Bay Spartans
madet0rder - Win against Parma shows they are still alive.
24. Philadelphia Continentals
madet0rder - Lower on the totem pole, but this team has great ownership and GMs. They are bound to show up some time.
25. Dallas Orangebloods
madet0rder - Upset against the Marauders leaves something to desire.
26. Dallas Vaqueros
xManning1018x - Will barely avoid relegation, but still have at least another season to turn it around. Props for continuing to play in the hardest conference in GLB despite the beatings.
27. Kentucky Madcats
MadMike52 - it's sad to see my old team in this condition, but the reason I left is I saw this coming.
madet0rder - I'm with MadMike52.
28. Kaneohe Daggers
Carnage - its evident no one knows the codes of GLB except Bort and that must mean he is cold and heartless to let this happen to his buddy DD.
