I'm baaaaaaaack. Comments and picks are going to be short and quick from here on out until I can find an OC for my team.
WEEK 6 RANKINGS (R = USPL rookies this season, WL = i'm sure you can figure it out)
WESTERN
1 Chicago Hedgehogs (WL) - Burying teams since that week 1 loss.
2 South Georgia Growl - Keeping pace with the Hedgehogs but Chicago's demolished teams by even larger margins.
3 5th Masterminds - Ripped off 4 straight wins since their week 1 loss.
4 Vancouver Lions - Still undefeated after 5 weeks, including solid wins over MEM and Tulsa but not as dominating as Hedgehogs or Growl.
5 Stormwind City Gryphons - Took down Tulsa but then fell to the Spoilers. Could be a sign of a changing landscape in the playoff picture this season.
6 Tulsa Storm - Dominating lower ranked teams but have gone 0-2 against the better squads.
7 Monmouth Evil Monkeys - Can't seem to get over on playoff contenders so far this season and have now dropped 3 of their first 5 with games against CH and SGG up next.
8 Canton Bulldogs - Got 3 of the toughest games they had this season out of the way already, albeit with 3 losses, so they can start turning things around now.
9 Covington Black Knights - Not sold on this 4 win team but a good showing against 5th next week could change my mind.
10 Sin City Spoilers - 2 game winning streak but that could end next week.
11 Bay Area Bombers - Tough schedule so far and they get SGG next so 1-5 is right around the corner.
12 Arkham Asylum Jokers - Hellish stretch is over but can they get back to winning now with a fairly lighter stretch of games the next few weeks.
13 Michigan Mutants (R) - Winning what they should so they've got that going for them.
14 Inner City Fieldsmiths (R) - Apparently rated much higher than they should have been with 0 wins against teams that may not even be in playoff contention.
15 Felicus Feline Generals (R)
16 Philadelphia Knights (R)
EASTERN
1 College Station Aggies - Still undefeated and it's hard to see that changing anytime soon.
2 South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice - Ditto.
3 All The King's Men - Lose their 1st game when they gave up a FG in the final second. Tough loss but they should bounce back quickly.
4 Oakland Suppressors - Notched some solid wins but also taking advantage of a weaker schedule to stay undefeated. Week 7 could end that streak.
5 Las Vegas Gold Diggers - Competing but it's not paying off in the w/l record.
6 Punxsutawney Groundhogs - Big win over the Men but really looking for consistency now out of this team.
7 Denver Giant 9'ers - Slowly creeping up the rankings and with 3 good teams coming up it's a chance for Denver to keep rising or start slipping.
8 Atlantic City Affliction - Showing some positive signs lately and if they take down the Crocs and Diggers they should be in line for a playoff spot already.
9 Nashville Hounds - On the fence with this team but if they should take 3 of the next 4 to get back over .500.
10 Gulf Coast Crocs - Chock it up to their schedule or whatever but this team is 1-4 now and still have ACA and Denver the next 2 weeks. Pivotal stretch they're heading into.
11 Wala Wala Drunken Shriners - Tough loss to the Crocs and with LV up next I don't see things improving.
12 "The Combine's" Tennessee Fury (R) - In the midst of a tough stretch and are now 2-3 with a much improved Denver squad up next.
13 Philadelphia SEXY Demonik - Not sure where this team is heading this season either. Doubt they'll crack the top 10 if not 12.
14 OffTopica Grace (R) - Should be safe from demotion now.
15 Hell's Demons (R) - One win this season over the 15th ranked western team. Not expecting much more out of the Demons.
16 Midwest Warbirds (R)
