That's right... 30. I tried to cut it at 25 but I felt there were some teams worth mentioning and deserving of the little write ups I decided to put together. I threw in some honorable mentions and now let the flaming being! I apologize if anyone feels slighted but it was a very difficult (and competitive) group of teams to rank. I took strength of league, regular season records, tournaments, and out of conference scrimmages all into account. Some may argue that those are meaningless or practices but at the end of the day that's all we have to go by to compare teams from different leagues. Enjoy.
PEE WEE TOP 30 RANKINGS
1. Department of Redundancy Department League 16 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7682
Consecutive clean sweeps of League 9 have led this dominant team to its second consecutive League championship. The most dominant team start to (near) finish in all of pee-wee football picked up a pair of late season loses after collecting bounties on nearly every top team in all of PW football. They avenged their only loss of last season (Short Bus) this year by grinding out another late season big win before eventually dropping back to back scrimmages against the Coastal Empire Pirates and the Mississippi Mud Dogs. Most impressive though? Gutting it out in the biggest pee-wee football tournament (128 teams) and capturing the first GLB Official Pee Wee Tournament title which has garnered them the top ranking in all of pee-wee football this year.
2. Short Bus Window Lickers League 5 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6898
Successfully defended their League 5 championship and back to back perfect seasons in league. They have a running total of 46 straight regular season wins and had their 62 all around win streak finally snapped this season by a top flight team (He Hate Me). Though they picked up a few late season scrimmage loses they finished strong with wins over Bengalfish and The Insane Asylum.
3. Coastal Empire Pirates League 10 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7492
After a questionable start and some early season losses this team caught fire at the right time. They steam rolled their way through the League 10 playoffs after dropping a scrimmage to Short Bus and outscored their opponents 191-10 (playoffs) and capturing their first league championship after coming up ever so short in season 9. To end the season they became the first team to put a chink in the Department's armor with a huge win over a team who had failed to drop a game all season long. If it wasn't for their few hiccups early on they would have finished at the top of the food chain.
4. Kansas City Llamas League 8 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7000
The Llamas returned to pee-wee football after a brief hiatus and we're all still wondering who fell asleep at the wheel during week 9 when they got t-boned by the Calgary Blaze. After that... collapse... the light turned on and they picked up impressive wins over Dyslexik Tedd's MCF, He Hate Me, and Short Bus with their one scrimmage loss to the Atlanta Apocalypse. One or two more heavy out of conference wins separates them from the top 5 but it's not because lack of ability or talent that is holding them back. Big expectations are riding on this team next season after they brought home the gold in League 8.
5. Atlanta Apocalypse League 3 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6818
The surprise of the season finished off a cinderella year by capturing one of the more difficult gold trophies to bring home. They made a name for themselves in Lost My Halos tournament and had they kept pushing themselves post-tournament they may have landed even higher on the polls had they continued their winning ways. Next season they'll have the daunting task of not being an unknown and I imagine they'll wear the bulls eye proudly.
6. He Hate Me http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7531
One thing is for certain in League 11, it belongs to He Hate Me. They have never lost a regular season in game in 3 seasons and have repeated as League champions after falling in their conference title back in Season 8. The real question is... which version of He Hate Me is going to show up? The powerhouse team that has the ability to knock off any team in all of pee-wee football? Or the at times cruise control version that saw them drop a handful of games throughout the season. They, along with Short Bus, took on the most grueling of schedules in all of Pee-Wee Land as they collected 38 total wins this season.
7. Bengalfish Guppies League 23 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7926
Though their league lacks any real competition, this team started red hot and made up one half of the most anticipated game of the season when they marched into the GLB Official Tourney finals undefeated to take on the also undefeated DoRD. Though they came up rather short, you can not take away from the road they traveled along the way. They seemed to have faded late against the elite teams but they definitely made it a mission take on the very best and proven that they are one of the most exciting teams in pee-wee football to watch.
8. South Park Hippies League 12 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7566
The Hippies seem to have a stronghold on League 12 as they have gone undefeated in three straight league seasons minus a championship loss back in Season 8. They've never lost a regular season league game in 3 years running and continue to impress with marquee wins. The one knock on their resume has been the lack of ability to blow out big name teams but they seem to be the ultimate grind it out pee wee team in the business. A pair of loses to two of the top teams held them back from a near perfect season.
9. The Insane Asylum League 5 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6877
This team burst onto the scene this year by running the gauntlet in their conference before eventually falling in the League championship to Short Bus. On their way they picked up some tough wins over the Coastal Empire Pirates, Atlanta Apocalypse, and San Antonio Saviours. Though they dropped a few games to some heavy hitters, you can't fault them for pushing themselves against the elite.
10. Fight Club Academy League 1 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6747
Can you say three-peat? All the Fight Club Academy did this season was win their third consecutive League 1 title. Though they may have carried a lighter load then some of the other top teams they definitely held their own against some of the very best. It is very sad to see this team throw in the towel as they are in Class A of what it means to be a great Pee-Wee program and it was only fitting that they finished on top of the 1st league ever created.
11. Mississippi Mud Dogs League 22 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7881
Unfulfilled is the word that best describes this team. After rolling into the final four of the two biggest pee-wee tournaments this season they couldn't seem to get over the semi-final hump in either and then ran into the same wall in League playoffs. They picked up a very impressive win over the top ranked DoRD team to end their season but can't seem to win when it means the most. They picked up a franchise high 34 wins this year but still finished a bit empty.
12. Mater's Mighty Mites League 6 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6913
After coming up a game short in Season 9 they got themselves over the title game up with their first League title. They made a spectacular run in the Official GLB Pee Wee Tournament before dropping to the eventual champions and can't seem to get the best of the South Park Hippies for the second year in a row but they challenged themselves to the fullest extent and picked up a handful of great wins along the way.
13. Carolina Guard League 21 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7844
After making a run deep into the finals of Lost My Halos Tournament before losing to Short Bus in the championship game, this team decided defending their League title would have to suffice and that's exactly what they did. Though they challenged themselves against some of the elite they couldn't quite get over that hurdle as they dropped scrimmages to the very finest pee-wee teams out there.
14. Rookietown Raiders League 2 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6803
The Raiders put themselves on the map with a streak of solid tournament wins before falling just short of a victory against the Mud Dogs in the quarterfinals. They avenged their pair of loses to Unnecessary Roughness last season by beating them twice this year (once in league, once in the conference championship) before eventually capturing their first League Title. They're on the cusp of cracking into the next level after getting over the hurdle that stood in their way in Season 9.
15. Hamilton Tiger-cats League 22 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7871
After a 14-0 start and a magical turnaround from last season’s Rd 1 exit to the Mud Dogs in Season 9 they ran into the Dogs again in Week 15 and came up a bit shy of avenging their loss. However, when it mattered most, they eventually knocked off the team that had their number three straight times in the conference championship and continued on by knocking off another undefeated team in the likes of the Tenoroc Titans to grab their first League Title. Though they didn't push themselves outside of their league they were able to pick back to back wins over the two elite teams in League 22.
16. Lone Star Mercenaries Mercenary League 19 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7781
This team fell under the radar most the season after losing their opening game of the season to the New Orleans Pee Wees who instantly became the heavy League 19 favorite. And, after getting blown out by the Mud Dogs before the playoffs even after winning 15 games in a row not many teams gave them much of a chance in the finals. However this team worked out the kinks, got it together, and put on impressive performance and shut out New Orleans in the finals to bring home the bacon known as the League 19 championship.
17. Dyslexik Tedd's Montana Clubb Football League http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7491
Like the Mud Dogs, this team tore through their league during the season and then came up empty in their conference title game. They came up just a bit short when they ran into the late season monster the Coastal Empire Pirates but were able to score a win over them in the season and a pair of wins over the late surging Dharma Iniatives. Though they had an impressive regular season they couldn't quite get it done outside of their conference as they dropped a trio of games to some of the best in the business. An elite non-conference wins holds them back from being further up the polls.
18. Dharma Initiatives http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7490
It's unfortunate that this team waited so long to get things together because to wrap up the season they put themselves through one of the biggest gauntlets pee-wee has seen to date taking on 10 ranked teams in 10 days and knocking off everyone but the Mud Dogs and Pirates. Dyslexik seemed to have their number this season and is easily one of the historically best pee-wee teams out there yet to win the gold. If this team can start next season like they finished the top ranking in all of pee-wee football could be in their sights.
19. New Orleans Pee Wees League 19 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7794
Another team who came up just a bit short as they couldn't repeat their opening week win over the Lone Star Mercenaries when they needed it the most. They picked up a tremendous win over The Insane Asylum early in the season but fell one game short of obtaining their first League title.
20. Nebraska Soul Assassins League 1 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6770
This team may have gotten too comfortable after skating through their league with relative ease in their first season and nearly became the cinderella team of the official tournament themselves before, like so many other teams, falling at the hands of DoRD. They tip toed their way to a conference championship and seemed to have it together before The Fight Club Academy snapped out of their funk and knocked them off in the League title game.
21. San Antonio Saviours League 3 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6813
This team seemed to have everything going for them as they rolling into the playoffs. Wins over Atlanta Apocalypse, Sunscreen Out my Pee Wee, and the Butte Pirates made them the leader of easily one of the top 3 conferences in all of pee-wee football. But they lacked any out of conference competition that might have left them feeling a bit too assure of themselves as they crumbed in the playoffs when the Apocalypse put a licking on them. Another victim of the playoffs, but definitely a team to watch out for in the future.
21. Deep South Baby Makers League 10 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7493
This team had the unfortunate task of being placed in the toughest conference in all of pee-wee football. They put on a show during the season with wins over Coastal, Dharma, but it was the red hot Empire Pirates who bumped their dream of a League 10 title. They took on the very best teams in pee-wee this season and held their own. Though they struggled against the top 10 ranked teams, they definitely had the number of the middle of the pack 20-30 ranked teams in football proving they belonged on the list.
22. Boston Goat Warriors League 4 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6849
One of those teams that you'll never really know how good they were. They lacked any out of conference experience other than a nice win over the Tokyo Thoroughbreds but they ran the table in their league and that's gotta be worth something. The perfect case of, "Could they?" in the sense of could they tackle and beat any of the monster teams above them.
23. Chicago Warriors League 12 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7575
There's probably 20 leagues this team could win but they found themselves amongst the likes of the South Park Hippies who had their number twice this season. Two impressive tournament runs gave them a collection of scrimmage wins before they fell at the hands of the Carolina Guard in one and the Mud Dogs in the other.
24. Philadelphia Petite Pugs League 17 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7720
This is where it gets tricky. The Pugs probably have the Pee Wee Hermans to thank for giving them this ranking after knocking them of in their conference championship and avenging their only regular season loss. The reason being they were probably the best team any of the final three teams defeated on their road to the championship. They didn't have that marquee win you'd like to see tagged on your resume but a final push in the playoffs got them on the map and brought home the gold.
25. Washington Wolverines League 18 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7761
Another team that can thank the tournament for that little extra shine on their resume. The Wolverines picked up some decent wins over the likes of the Washington Lions and played the Fight Club Academy rather tough before eventually giving the game away in the 4th quarter. Nevertheless they won what they set out to do and that was the League 18 trophy.
26. Double Decker Pee Wreckers League 15 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7673
Just a hair short of the top 25 but an impressive season nevertheless. A team that laid a whooping on their regular season opponents with a high octane offense that kept them in the game against the South Park Hippies later in the season but wasn't nearly enough against a team like Short Bus. Either way they owned their league, won the gold, and they'll be a team to watch in the future.
27. Kilkenny Fighting Leprechauns League 13 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7580
A very solid team that owned their conference and hung on for dear life in their League championship game as they stopped the Birds of Prey on their final drive to squeeze out a 1 pt championship win. Their toughest challenge of the season came in the form of the Deep South Baby Makers who they couldn't quite get the better of but they improved on a solid Season 9 and if they continue in this direction they'll be a force to be reckoned with in Season 11.
28. Tokyo Thoroughbreds League 9 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7459
Can you say... comeback of the year? They were an underdog coming into the League 9 championship against the Little Sexy 76ers and at one point in the 4th quarter trailed 40-21. All they did was score 3 unanswered TD's to end the game including the game winning score with 35 seconds left in what became an instant classic and one of the most memorable games of the year. They dropped a tough scrimmage to the GoatWarriors but right now they're on Cloud 9 and holding the gold.
29. Texas State University Fighting Armadillos League 3 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6833
Even after going 16-0 in the regular season not too many people gave them much of a chance in the finals as they saw League 3 West as one of the premiere conferences in pee-wee this season. However after challenging themselves throughout the season they came in prepared and gave the Atlanta Apocalypse a run for their money before falling just short of a League title. A successful season nevertheless and they definitely built a great foundation to improve on.
30t. West Side Longhorns and Dayton Flight League 5 & 10
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7510 and http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6892
These two get paired together as the drew a tough card in the sense that they collectively ran into the beasts of the Coastal Empire Pirates and Short Bus Window Lickers in order to get bumped from the playoffs. Both teams had solid seasons, picked up some nice wins along the way, and really could have put a dent had they been placed in a not so stacked division.

PEE WEE TOP 30 RANKINGS

If it wasn't for their few hiccups early on they would have finished at the top of the food chain.
4. Kansas City Llamas League 8 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7000
The Llamas returned to pee-wee football after a brief hiatus and we're all still wondering who fell asleep at the wheel during week 9 when they got t-boned by the Calgary Blaze. After that... collapse... the light turned on and they picked up impressive wins over Dyslexik Tedd's MCF, He Hate Me, and Short Bus with their one scrimmage loss to the Atlanta Apocalypse.

21. San Antonio Saviours League 3 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6813
This team seemed to have everything going for them as they rolling into the playoffs. Wins over Atlanta Apocalypse, Sunscreen Out my Pee Wee, and the Butte Pirates made them the leader of easily one of the top 3 conferences in all of pee-wee football.

Two impressive tournament runs gave them a collection of scrimmage wins before they fell at the hands of the Carolina Guard in one and the Mud Dogs in the other.
24. Philadelphia Petite Pugs League 17 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7720
This is where it gets tricky. The Pugs probably have the Pee Wee Hermans to thank for giving them this ranking after knocking them of in their conference championship and avenging their only regular season loss. The reason being they were probably the best team any of the final three teams defeated on their road to the championship. They didn't have that marquee win you'd like to see tagged on your resume but a final push in the playoffs got them on the map and brought home the gold.
25. Washington Wolverines League 18 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7761
Another team that can thank the tournament for that little extra shine on their resume. The Wolverines picked up some decent wins over the likes of the Washington Lions and played the Fight Club Academy rather tough before eventually giving the game away in the 4th quarter. Nevertheless they won what they set out to do and that was the League 18 trophy.
26. Double Decker Pee Wreckers League 15 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7673
Just a hair short of the top 25 but an impressive season nevertheless. A team that laid a whooping on their regular season opponents with a high octane offense that kept them in the game against the South Park Hippies later in the season but wasn't nearly enough against a team like Short Bus. Either way they owned their league, won the gold, and they'll be a team to watch in the future.
27. Kilkenny Fighting Leprechauns League 13 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7580
A very solid team that owned their conference and hung on for dear life in their League championship game as they stopped the Birds of Prey on their final drive to squeeze out a 1 pt championship win. Their toughest challenge of the season came in the form of the Deep South Baby Makers who they couldn't quite get the better of but they improved on a solid Season 9 and if they continue in this direction they'll be a force to be reckoned with in Season 11.
28. Tokyo Thoroughbreds League 9 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7459
Can you say... comeback of the year? They were an underdog coming into the League 9 championship against the Little Sexy 76ers and at one point in the 4th quarter trailed 40-21. All they did was score 3 unanswered TD's to end the game including the game winning score with 35 seconds left in what became an instant classic and one of the most memorable games of the year. They dropped a tough scrimmage to the GoatWarriors but right now they're on Cloud 9 and holding the gold.
29. Texas State University Fighting Armadillos League 3 http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6833
Even after going 16-0 in the regular season not too many people gave them much of a chance in the finals as they saw League 3 West as one of the premiere conferences in pee-wee this season. However after challenging themselves throughout the season they came in prepared and gave the Atlanta Apocalypse a run for their money before falling just short of a League title. A successful season nevertheless and they definitely built a great foundation to improve on.
30t. West Side Longhorns and Dayton Flight League 5 & 10
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7510 and http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6892
These two get paired together as the drew a tough card in the sense that they collectively ran into the beasts of the Coastal Empire Pirates and Short Bus Window Lickers in order to get bumped from the playoffs. Both teams had solid seasons, picked up some nice wins along the way, and really could have put a dent had they been placed in a not so stacked division.
