Thought I would give this a try. I have not done one of these before but our forums are pretty boring.

1 - Graceland Elviserators - (4-0) Overall 51. Very solid team but they have played teams with a record of 4-11. Big early season win against Tallinn which shows they are pretty legit. The next game against the Golden Gate Trolls will show where they belong in the standings. They have a passing attack that leads the conference in yards as well as TD's. No denying the threat they have through the air especially one of the main go to guys in Mark Smellmyballz. 19 recs and 12 of them for TDs. Do no be fooled though, they seem to have a pretty solid rushing game as well. Avg 9.2 yards a carry, but when you throw the ball so well the backs just do not see a lot of carries.

2 - Golden Gate Trolls - (4-0) 51 Overall. Little bit tougher schedule so far with a record of 5-11 for teams played. So far that has not meant anything to this team as they have shut down the teams they have played early on. Right now, this teams strength has been on defense. When you give up 17pts in 4 games it allows your offense to run over other teams, and run is what they did. This team has thrown the ball 75 times all season. While it may appear they do not favor the pass at all, keep in mind that if the running game is giving you over 100pts in a game....why bother passing? This team has not been spectacular rushing the ball, but still a very solid run game. 7.6yards a carry, 24 TDs, 1300+ rushing yards will get the job done. This defense leads the conf in sacks with 18 and has also has 4 INTs on the season. 13 of those sacks from two guys and the 3 INTs from the solid play of CB Richard Upchurch. Next game against Graceland will speak volumes for this team.

3 - Lubbock Red Raiders - (4-0). Overall 48. Teams they have played so far = 3-13. Every game so far in the regular season has been pretty simple for them with no real challenges yet. Regardless, they are still 4-0 and have easily beaten the teams they should. Coming up they will play Tallinn and Golden Gate back to back which will give us a very good impression of how they will end up this season. This team is second in passing and fourth in rushing for the conf. A dual threat team early on in the season. Graham Jagang is a level 19 QB that has done wonders with the passing game for this team. Relaxed Atmosphere seems to be the main go to guy for this passing attack and for good reason. He avgs 6 catches a game, 10 Recs for TDs and only 2 drops. Defense has also been a force with 11 sacks, 3 INTs, and 4 FFum, as well as an INT, and fumble returned for TDs and even a safety. It will be interesting to see what this defense can do against some of the stronger teams.

4 - Cincinnati Crush - (4-0) - Overall 51. SOS so far 5-11. Pretty solid wins so far for this team with a good victory of Oklahoma. This team has been pretty balanced as far as the pass and run game go. While most of their points have come from the run game, they have shown a very consistent and solid passing game as well. They have a solid defense, few missed tackles, 12 sacks, 3 INTs. Trying to keep from having your passes deflected is a tough thing around their secondary. Their schedule looks have a few more should wins before they start to see some challenges.

5 - Tallinn Tornadoes - (3-1) - Overall 48. SOS 6-10 with the only loss being to a 4-0 team. This is a very solid team, but a lot was shown in their game against Graceland. The running game is led by Jetozhi Speedstar who is leading the lead and coming up upon 1600 yards with just over 100 carries. For the first 3 games he seemed unstoppable running between 300-800 yards per game. Finally they ran into a team who could hold him to under 100 yards and no touchdowns which also led to their first loss. This teams passing game has not really come into play until the last game. It will be interesting to see if this team can find ways to win if they cannot rely on their star back. The other strength this team has is no doubt on defense. Second in tackles along with 25 hurries, 12 sacks 3 INTs and 8 Forced Fumbles. Even against a strong team in Graceland, they gave up just 27 pts. 3 Tough games in a row coming up in the next week.

6 - Oklahoma City Jurydog Express - (2-2) - 48 Overall. SOS 12-4. With that SOS how can they not be at 500. Do not let those two losses fool you, this is a very solid team. 2 losses against Lubbock and Cinci. A very well played game against Cinci shows that this team can compete with the best of them. Good win over Kent as well. This team has a solid enough rushing game, but so far their strength has come from the air. They also have a solid defense that has shown they can make big plays. Hardasa Noodle leads this team on the field with 979yards passing 10tds and only 2 INTs.

7 - Kent Blood Ravens - (3-1) - Overall 45. SOS 5-11. This team is overated....you don't even have to worry about gameplanning for them. Easy schedule, fluke wins....

8 - The Militia Men - (2-2) - Overall 48. SOS 9-7. One of the more difficult schedules early on. Tough loss against Kent as well as a hard challenge against Cinci. They have a solid pass game, with an average run game. This defense has seen it's share of struggles early on, but this team is still pretty solid overall with a great chance to end up in the playoffs. One guy to watch out for is Andre Peterson who has 4 INTs on the season and three of them returned for TDs. Next game against Oklahoma should be a good challenge for them with the opportunity to open some eyes around the league.

I think the Elvicerators are the team to beat right now. Although I believe the Elvicerators, Trolls and Crush have all boosted already while Tallinn hasn't. I'm just guessing there, but if so, Tallinn could be very tough to beat once boosted if they decide to.
