I believe Manning has something going on. So, I'll jut post my version. If he get's the groups' up, I'll delete this

1) Monmouth Evil Monkeys Between their run game, D and this ssn's sim, I just don't see how they can be stopped

2) Lincoln Navigators An all around great team.

3) Detroit Demon Lions – DDL was a KO return for a TD away from being knocked off by ***O***, and still only won by 1, but they did win. That both helps and hurts them in my book. Their W against the Shockers was big! Very dangerous team.

4) Washington Wolfpack All they have done for the past 2 ssns is win 1 reg ssn game after another.

5) Cincinnati Shockers No shame in losing to DDL, but it does cause them to drop a notch.

6) Green Bay Maulers Due to a view from the inside, I believe the split personality disorder has been cured. If so, not good news for the East. If not, a stretch of games looming ominously on the horizon will certainly show it.

7) Minnesota Marauders May have turned the corner for good. I'm starting to believe, Galk

8) Honolulu Hurricane Warriors Starting to look like there may be some minor kinks in their impressive set of armor

9) Washington Bullets I had to drop them, due to their Ls to the Flyn Es & Cx4, but both are understandable Ls and show how tough the East really is.

10) Over the Rhine Red Dots Despite their loss to Cx4, I think they're the better team and it will show.

11) Chocolate City Cha Chings Made a mistake with their AI against the Dots and won. Then they just go out and beat the Bullets.

12) Bourbon Street Bullies

13) Chicago Hedgehogs

14) Spicewood Longhorns

15) Las Vegas Gamblers Some will argue that this is too high, and, based on records and who they’ve beat, they have a point. Personally, I think this is too low.

16) Las Vegas Flyin Elvis They have their work cut out for them to make the POs, but I believe they’re a damn good team.

17) ***O*** Mission critical W over RI and lost a game they could have easly won against DDL. Don’t look now, but they’ll be 4-4 going into a week 9 game with GB.

18) Las Vegas Freebirds I’m betting that they’re better than they have showed

19) Columbus Woodys One of the best 3-4 teams here. That doesn’t sound like much, untl you look at the others at 3-4 and realize that’s a hell of a compliment.

20) Carolina Hammer Good team but put themselves into a hell of a dog fight for a PO spot in the East.

21) Dallas Vaqueros Very possibly too low or possibly too high.

22) South Bay Spartans

23) Compton Vikings They have yet to be blown out by a top team. However, they have yet to blow out a bottom team either.

24) San Diego Lightning Frankly, I can’t believe I have these guys at 24

25) Rhode Island Red Wolves Solid, solid team. Honestly, could beat anyone in USA Pro.

26) Kalamazoo Coyotes The good news is that they always pull a surge as the ssn wares on. The bad news can be clearly seen by looking at who they have left to do that against.

27) Philadelphia Continentals They keep improving every ssn. Not far away at all and will upset some teams.

28) Columbus Bucks They’ve got 1

29) Parma Burglars I frankly don’t get them

30) Gridiron Rage Their off ssn moves will pay off next ssn. I hope they can hang on.

31) Richmond Rebel Yell Such a great team at one time

32) Kentucky Madcats Nothing left to say

Swap SW and BSB and you might have something.

I could easily see justifying that, but I went pretty heavy on records in the West (more so that in the East), just because I don't pretend to know nearly as much about most of the teams there.

Wow, that's reallythe best quote I heard about us so far... I mean... that's pretty much true lol

I like those rankings overall too, seems solid.

It will all play out at the end. Thanks for doing this PP!

***O*** still has something left in the tank. We lost a game against the Hammer, which I am not going to offer excuses for, but our other losses are against the #2, 3 and 5 teams.

On this rankings sheet, but if you go by standings you could say you lost to 2 teams that are #1, so that bodes even better for you.

My favorite part of the rankings are that Carolina is right above us, and we beat them. Same record, etc... Carolina has a few better wins, though. Also Gamblers too high. Also confused why CCCC is right behind OTR AND the Bullets, two teams they beat. Too much weight being put into good wins.

That was an accident. I meant to put them right below you and got the 2 teams flipped. I fixed that.

You're entitled to your opinion, and you may well be right. IMO, based on scouting them, they are at least that good.

Cx4 had an O AI glitch and ran the strong I OT every play, but 2 in the final minute of the 2nd, against the Dots. They didn't mean too and, based on what the owner wrote, would never exploit the game like that. I believe him. That said, they didn't beat the Dots by as much as one would expect. Therefore, I believe the Dots would have likely won if the game hadn't played out that way. Then, the Bullets had to believe that Cx4 was going to do the same thing to them and GPed accordingly. Instead, Cx4 passed more than ran against them.

I think Cx4 is a hell of a team. I just believe that their AI mistake won them 2 games that they may not have won otherwise. That's no disrespect to Cx4 at all. I really do believe they are a hell of a team and freely admit that I may be wrong about that. However, that's my reasoning behind it.

I think he explained why CCCC was behind OTR. Duh.

Frankly, Duff, I see your ssn as being over. Not even the remotest of chances at all to make the POs. Because of that, I'd think it'd be best if you spent the next 2 games experimenting, just to test stuff for next ssn. Maybe this game against the Cats you could go all 5 WR streaks and in the next game go all QB draws. Sure, Hulk isn't the most fleet footed QB, but you'll never know if it works unless you try it. I know I probably shouldn't be trying to help you like that, but, damn it, I like ya, man!
