Since we do these every other game, and there's 3 games left. This will probably be the last one before the final pre-playoff rankings. Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Monmouth Evil Monkeys - (1)
Peach: New King of the Hill on my rankings. Very balanced attack and same greatness from LC and the defense.
PP: Won't lose another game this ssn
Sik: MEM claim the top spot for sure with another win, and the Navs falling to HHW.

2) Washington Wolfpack - (2)
Peach: Stayed committed to the run game, but showed greatness in their passing attack.
PP: Believe they'll also win out
Sik: Have 2 relatively easy weeks before the Navs

3) Green Bay Maulers - (3.2)
Peach: Strong win against DDL showed the East why they belong at the top of the East Heap
Sik: Beat both fellow 11-2 teams while losing to some lesser teams. Nevertheless the top team in the East.

T-4) Cincinnati Shockers - (4.6)
Peach: Great gameplan to pitch a shutout against a good CCCC team.
PP: Same type of team they've always been...Damn good
Sik: Only losses were to the 2 teams ranked above them (in my rankings anyways). Oh yeah...it was by a total of 13 points.

T-4) Lincoln Navigators - (4.6)
Peach: The Navs fall to my #3 with the loss against HHW. Still a very strong team and definitely one to watch out for after this loss. Navs and HHW now even in regular season wins against each other.
PP: Tough loss and still face a tough test against the Wolfpack
Sik: Ouch. The Navs will try to recover against MEM this week which is not the easiest feat.

6) Detroit Demon Lions - (5.6)
Peach: Tough loss to GB sends them down the ladder.
PP: Very good team that can beat anyone
Sik: Fell to Maulers, rebound win against Flyin' Elvis

7) Honolulu Hurricane Warriors - (7.6)
Peach: Huge win against the Navs. Had to sign more backs to emulate the old Wang Twins with Jordan and BoomBoom. HHW returns to it's roots.
PP: With most betting against them, they just picked up a big W over NAV
Sik: This team is looking SCARY again, and got some key players in at just the right time.

8) OTR Red Dots - (7.8)
Peach: Continue to impress with solid win over the "O"
PP: Brutal 2 game stretch
Sik: 2 VERY nice wins after losing to the Gamblers.

9) Las Vegas Gamblers - (9.4)
Peach: On a five game roll to finish in my top 10.
PP: Hazy ball is alive and well.
Sik: Getting better and better, Gamblers most recently take one over the Bullets and beat up on the Coyotes. That makes 7 of their last 8 real games.

10) Bourbon Street Bullies - (9.6)
Peach: Made a statement with a strong win over MM.
PP: Impressive W over MM.
Sik: Much needed win against the Marauders. Very possible they will win out, but the Hedgehogs will give them a run for their money.

11) Minnesota Marauders - (10.8)
Peach: My bubble pick for the Top 10. MM has had a tough stretch of games lately and drops out of my top-10 barely.
PP: Solid team that is struggling on O
Sik: Alternating wins and losses...should have 2 wins before the Lightning challenge them.

12) Carolina Hammer - (13)
PP: No shame in losing to the Continentals, but it still drops them down a notch. 2 tough games after the bye.
Sik: Uhh what happened guys? Gimme game, then 2 really tough games coming up.

13) ***OFG*** - (13.2)
PP: They win at least 2 of 3 to finish out and get a PO spot. I'd hate to be the team playing them in round 1
Sik: Never count out the O. Should get 2 more Ws before taking on the Gamblers in a game that will likely have playoff seeding implications.

14) Chicago Hedgehogs - (15.8)
Sik: This team is flying under the radar. Definitely shouldn't be overlooked though, as they can play with the best (sorry guys).

T-15) Chocolate City Cha Chings - (16.2)
PP: Will likely go to 7-7 before finishing 9-7
Sik: Dropped 4 in a row including getting shutout by Cinci. Could be 5 after DDL.

T-15) Columbus Woodys - (16.2)
Sik: Tough loss against AAA2 rivals OTR. Might be able to get 3 in a row, but they have DDL, Yotes, and the dangerous Continentals in their way.

17) Spicewood Longhorns - (16.4)

18) San Diego Lightning - (16.8)

19) Washington Bullets - (17.2)
PP: who they have left, not looking good for the defending champs
Sik: I know they won as the 8th seed last season...but they might not even make the playoffs at this rate. Their schedule doesn't do them any favors either with the Woodys, Shockers, and DDL still to play.

20) Compton Vikings - (19.4)
PP: Just keeps playing better as the ssn goes along
Sik: After early season humbling, they've kept quiet, and have gotten better. Dangerous team.

21) Las Vegas Freebirds - (21.2)

22) South Bay Spartans - (22.2)

23) Las Vegas Flyin Elvis - (22.4)

24) Parma Burglars - (24)

25) Rhode Island Red Wolves - (25.4)

26) Philadelphia Continentals - (25.8)
Peach: Dominating win against a team with a winning record, first for Philly since trading up to the pros from BBB.
PP: Told ya so. After that W, they deserve to creep up.
Sik: Nice win guys. But it is unfortunately too little too late. They will try to play spoiler to several potential playoff teams.

27) Kalamazoo Coyotes - (27)

28) Dallas Vaqueros - (27.6)

29) Girdiron Rage - (29.4)

30) Columbus Bucks - (29.6)

31) Richmond Rebel Yell (31)

32) Kentucky Madcats (32)

4th, 8th...what four spots among friends, right?

It'll be interesting to see if Philly can build off last week's win. I don't expect them to beat the Gamblers, but I wouldn't be surprised if they make it a little closer than predicted.

I coulda swore I heard someone saying they won as the 8th seed. Nevermind though...I think Gridiron or K-zoo was 8 now that I think about it.

Well we sure didn't help the bottom 3 other teams in the playoff race with our loss today, sorry guys, but at least the race is more interesting!

Really though, I don't get how Compton jumped up 3 spots by beating the Vaqueros (what an upset /not) and losing to the Lightning.

yet consecutive wins OVER the Freebirds and RRY drops South Bay BEHIND the Freebirds and Vikings.


...and the Freebirds are on a 4 game losing skid?

Do you guys just throw darts at a board to pick anyone not in the top 15?

You didn't beat LVF until today, AKA after the rankings.

Well since you beat us you better close out and earn a spot and not put that win to a waste! Good luck to you.

Like Galk said, I posted these in the wee hours of the morning today.

And I try to take into account head to head matchups as much as possible, but with so many teams playing each other, it's impossible to rank teams so they have no losses to teams below them and no wins to teams above them. It's just not possible. Anyways some people's ballots were a lot different than others this time around, and we only had 5 voters, so there were a lot of close calls in the middle of the table.

so much nitpicking, you'd think this was the last ranking of the year.

Cut these guys some slack. It's awesome content that people provide of their own free time.
