Power Rankings
1. The Dream Team, 7-2 (1): Though they did stumble a bit last week (I thought you would to if your QB put up less points than Tim Tebow), there is still no question this team can go off at any moment - cc. Jeremy Maclin. While another soft tissue injury to Arian Foster concerns me, I can't see one more player going down derailing their season. They've only lost to one team this year (GG twice), and look poised to make a return to the playoffs. They just need to bring it home.
2. Burdettinators, (2): They lost a close one to Tom's Tyrants last week, but it was just another day in the office for Burdettinators. They had another 100+ performance, and look like they're hitting their stride. The division title is squarely up for grabs, and they should be able to take it down to the wire. If they can keep perform at the high level they are, this team will have no problem making playoffs one way or another.
3. Bear Necessities, 6-3 (4): Clutch win by this team. Against a divisional opponent they could ill afford to lose to, this team is now only one win out of being first place in the division. While cracks continue to appear in their roster, as long as they have Andrew Luck captaining their team, they will be challenging for a W every single week. We've seen a revival of the old guard this season, headlined by Bear Necessities, they just need to keep it up for a few more weeks.
4. The Tuckfards, 6-3 (5): I'm stunned. There is no logical reason for how this coach has done so well. Through the season and last week. They got an absolute gift from the scheduling gods, as Jeff's Seals had bye week and injury issues up the wazoo, but they still managed to have a nice week despite being without one of their Big 3. They needed a win this week, as they are without one of their Big 3 for each of the next 2 weeks, so every win is crucial during this span.
5. Gridiron Gang, 5-4 (6): This team has only posted 130+ points twice. Both this season. Both against TDT. Unreal. This team just loves rising to the occasion in must win games against the best opponents. Quintessential Gridiron Gang. You know what else is Quintessential Gridiron Gang? Coming from behind and making a last gasp jump into the playoffs. Currently in 6th place and performing solidly, we could be seeing classic Gridiron Gang history in the making.
6. IKNAN, 6-3 (3): Gentleman, if you would look to your left, you will see what happens to a team that has a hands off coach. If this coach paid half the attention of some of the other coaches on this list, they would be a title contender every year. The lack of focus is really killing this team. They've done well to get to 6-3, don't get me wrong, but they can ill afford any more weeks like this heading into the last few games. They have the players, they just need to put it together.
7. Tom's Tyrants, (7): The revival continues. The result from last week aside, this team is really starting to hit its stride. I just worry they have too high a number in that second column. At this point, nearly ever remaining game for them is a must win. If there is a coach that can achieve that with the pressure on, it's this one, but they will be hard pressed to make a push for the playoffs at the position they are in. The fork could be stuck here imminently, despite how good they've become.
8. Forge Flyers, 2-7 (10): After I stick a fork in them, they come alive, who knew! Joking aside, very nice week from this team. Two weeks ago it was looking all the more likely this team could feasibly go without a win, then they file in two clutch performances. While the jury is still out on whether they can keep this up, there is no denying they've had a nice last two weeks, and that's enough to move them up to 8th on the Power Rankings.
9. ADRZ, 2-7 (9): I'm not going to slam the team this week, they did fantastically well to put up the point total they did considering the plethora of bye weeks they had. It's just a shame the GM went a step too far with their waiver moves, dropping Jeremy Hill, who would have won the game for them. Still, with Calvin Johnson returning to the fold this week, they should be on the up tick for the last few games of the season.
10. Jeff's Seals, 2-7 (10): Just as I start to think this team might be able to keep their good run going and maybe make a very late, great push for the playoffs, they return to their early season form and stuck themselves with a fork so I didn't have to. What was always going to be an uphill struggle for this team, they've performed amazingly well this season despite what their record indicates, and should be proud of it. Look out for this team in 2015.
