Ok, so it seems to me like their is need for stat objectional rankings in the BBB #4. These rankings are completely based on overall performance in the areas of record, who-beat-who, and by how much. That being said I set out on a process of ranking the top 1/2 of the league. After over an hour of analyzing teams and games I looked at myself in the mirror and said "WTF are you doing? You're not working half as hard as you do at your job and you're not even getting paid for this". I'll probably do the top 1/2 next week but for now here's the top 1/4. Feel free to debate, argue, complain, or whatever. ENJOY!
1.) Beer Town Brawlers (12-0-0) - I don't believe any team in BBB #4 can contest the BTB. Their closest win by 4 points 4 weeks ago to the Appalachian Mountaineers seemed like a minor wake up call, that any championship calibur team needs, as they've given up only 7 points since.
2.) Fremont Warriors (12-0-0) - While not as dominant as BTB has been in the Eastern Conference, the Warriors have shown that they are the team to beat in the West, especially after a win against #2 in the West Team MaddenWars in a game that had much hype around it.
3.) Boston DrunkN'Disorderly (12-0-0) - While their name may not bear much resemblence to their play, Boston faces their toughest test of the season against Beer Town next week in the biggest clash of the titans BBB #4 has seen this season. Boston may just have the answer to beat Beer Town in their newly signed QB from Southeast Asia.
4.) Philadelphia Pythons (10-2-0) - Philly seems to be on a roll thanks to an impressive 136 - 6 scoring margin in their last 4 games. Toppling their division foe 30-3, J Villians (#4 in West), in their last game proves the Pythons are poised to make a playoff run. They face a struggling Bowling Green Broncos team next week.
5.) Hobbs Gerbil Wranglers (10-2-0) - The Gerbils seem to be in their wheel and spinning it as fast as they can. A 72 point victory against the former/dismantled L.A. Raiders is impressive but not enough to push them into the top 4. The next 3 weeks may be enough to throw the Gerbils spinning into the abyss come playoff time.
6.) Team MaddenWars (10-2-0) - I know, I know, it was one game BUT it was a HUGE loss. Team MaddenWars proved their offense to be less than effective against a good but not great Freemont defense scoring only 2 field goals while giving up 17 on defense. Look for TMW to get their running game back, and a higher ranking, next week against the Walla Walla Wackers, whos name will only be mentioned that single time in these rankings.
7.) J Villians (9-3-0) - J Villians maintain a 9-3 record after facing the 3 top teams in their conference. What does this mean? They beat the teams they are supposed but don't have enough to get them to the top of the hill. They have a somewhat easy schedule left compared to some of the teams ranked in the top 6 but the Villians need to keep an eye out for some trap games.
8.) Fort Lauderdale Merkins (9-3-0) - Oh the Merkins. Beneficiaries of the schedule? Pure anomalies from the uncertain wasteland that is the BBB? I think maybe both. While the Merkins have managed to maintain a respectable record, they have so in an unorthodox fashion, giving up points frequently and relying on their offense to pull out the W. Let's see if this strategy continues to be effective in the last 4 games of the season as the Merkins have the toughest schedule remaining of any team in the BBB #4.
