First of all, Manning is busy or something and hasn't really been around. That's why the rankings haven't been posted in the past couple of weeks even though people were doing them. This week, only 4 of us did them. If you are interested in doing some, PM me. I don't have the ability to add people to the private forum. I don't know if Manning is inactive but he may be able to add you. If you want to participate, you can PM me your rankings. We need more people doing these so they are more varied. Anyways without further adieu.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Monmouth Evil Monkeys (1.25)
Sik - Csonka gets 60 carries against Marauders. Okay guys...we get it...cmon now...play real.
2) Lincoln Navigators (2)
Sik - VERY close call against the Freebirds. Their D kept them in the game as they won by 1 point.
PP - Survived a big scare against the Freebirds.
3) Washington Wolfpack (3.5)
Sik - Lost to the Monkeys the week before in a relatively close game. The Sheeppack didn't hold back against Compton. 58-7.
PP - Lost to the Monkeys the week before in a relatively close game.
T-4) Detroit Demon Lions (4.5)
Sik - Tough 2 point loss to the Hammer that I know TSE wasn't happy about.
PP - Just a scary team. One of the few that’s making the pas game work for them.
T-4) Cincinnati Shockers (4.5)
Sik - Took care of business against 2 bad teams. They will face rivals Green Bay in 2 weeks.
PP - All they do is win
6) Green Bay Maulers (6.25)
Sik - Great win over the Footballguys. After being down 14-0 after the first, 43 points in the 2nd and 3rd to OFG's 7 points sealed the game for them.
PP - TOs made an otherwise close game against O look better than it was
7) Minnesota Marauders (7.25)
Sik - Grabbed a huge win over the Warriors, but fell to the Csonkas. Understandable.
PP - I refuse to count the MEM game against them
8) OTR Red Dots (8)
Sik - After picking up a big win over the defending champs, they also take out the Yotes.
PP - I believe they’re better than most may think
9) Bourbon Street Bullies (8.75)
Sik - Huge win over a struggling Hurricane Warriors. 20 points in the 2nd and 3rd put it out of reach. The Bullies are back!
PP - Starting to come on strong
10) Chocolate City Cha Chings (9.25)
Sik - Rack up 2 more wins against the Yotes and the Continentals, although some would say the Philly game was closer than it should have been. 2 big games coming up as they face the always dangerous Gamblers and Footballguys.
PP - Barely got out of the Phily game with a W, but turn over played a role
11) Carolina Hammer (11.75)
Sik - Team is on a roll right now with wins over DDL, and the Bullets in consecutive weeks. Will probably win their next 5 games before they get tested again.
PP - Starting to pick up big Ws with regularity
12) Honolulu Hurricane Warriors (12.75)
Sik - Team is really struggling right now...they dropped 3 in a row and 4 of their last 5. They should win their next 3 before taking on the Navs.
PP - Still a tough team, but they’re struggling right now
T-13) Chicago Hedgehogs (14.5)
Sik - Very tough to rank this team. They've won against every team they're supposed to, but lost to every challenge they've faced. Their next 5 games will make or break their season.
T-13) Washington Bullets (14.5)
Sik - Lost 4 in a row, and are barely holding on to a playoff seed if they were to start today. They will win their next 2 games though before taking on the Gamblers and Footballguys.
PP - They’ve lost something that they need desperately to find fast: Ws
T-13) San Diego Lightning (14.5)
Sik - They seem to be getting back into their groove after a tough start of the season. 2 very good wins in a row over the Freebirds and the Longhorns give them this spot.
16) Spicewood Longhorns (15.75)
Sik - Tough loss to the Lightning. Still have Lincoln, Freebirds, Hedgehogs, Spartans, and the Warriors to play.
17) Columbus Woodys (16.5)
Sik - Yes, they beat the Hammer, but they have less quality wins. Maulers, Elvis, CCCCs, OTR, Bullets in their next 5 games will be a test.
PP - About to start a brutal 5 game stretch
18) ***Official*** Footballguys (17.25)
Sik - ***Officially*** struggling to keep their heads above water. Won their freebie game, but got buried by the Maulers in the 2nd & 3rd quarter, and ended up losing big. Schedule doesn't get any easier with the Elvis, Cha Chings, Red Dots, and Bullets coming up. At least they're TCoB in the tournaments .
PP - Look for them to start coming on strong
19) Las Vegas Freebirds (18.5)
Sik - 2 very close losses. They lost by a total of a FG between the 2 games. They are going to have to kick it into gear if they want to make the POs.
PP - They are better than this and I believe they’ll make the POs
20) Las Vegas Gamblers (19.25)
Sik - Close game against the Maulers, and a good win over the Elvis give them this spot. Despite their Chem, they are playing well winning 4 of their last 5. Tough 3-game stretch coming up.
PP - Very good team that face 3 make or break games in a row
21) Las Vegas Flyin Elvis' (21.25)
Sik - After a rough start, they've won 3 of their last 4. Unfortunately for them, they dropped their last game against local rivals Gamblers. Next week could see them switching spots with OFG if they fail to win.
PP - I’m sure not counting them out yet
22) South Bay Spartans (21.5)
Sik - Larry Smith & Co picked up a close win against the Bucks in which they were outgained by over 100 yds. Will probably grab 1 of their next 2 before they take on the Navigators.
23) Compton Vikings (23)
Sik - Found themselves on the wrong side of a Wolfpack feeding frenzy. Marauders, Bullies, Lightning, Navigators, and maybe even the Vaqueros will give them trouble.
24) Parma Burglars (23.5)
Sik - Finally some wins...and 2 in a row at that! Too bad it was against 2 of the worst teams in the conference. That may have saved them from relegation though.
T-25) Dallas Vaqueros (25.5)
Sik - Dropped 2 in a row. Probably have the hardest schedule remaining in USA Pro. 6 of their last 7 opponents are playoff teams. I don't see them getting another win this season.
T-25) Rhode Island Red Wolves (25.5)
Sik - Beatdown by the Shockers and Demon Lions. At least they are the only 2-7 team in the east who don't have the freebie win against the Madcats yet.
27) Kalamazoo Coyotes (27)
Sik - They most likely kissed their playoff chances goodbye with the last 2 games. Their schedule doesn't get any easier, and they're running out of time.
28) Philadelphia Continentals (28)
Sik - Held it close against the Cha Chings, but a loss is a loss. They only really have 1 win this season against a real team. They will probably end up 2-14.
29) Columbus Bucks (29)
Sik - Passing buff seemed to help them somewhat against the Spartans, but it wasn't enough to get the W. You need at least some form of a running game if you want to win.
30) Richmond Rebel Yell (30)
Sik - Latest showing was a beatdown by the Hedgehogs. Pretty much guaranteed to have an 0-16 season unless they can snag one against the Burglars or Spartans.
31) Gridiron Rage (31)
Sik - Will likely get their first and only win Week 13 against the Madcats. Relegation anyone?
32) Kentucky Madcats (32)
Sik - Only question remaining is whether they'll be in AAA1 or AAA2 next season.
