Power Rankings
1. Burdettinators, 7-5 (1): Wow. It took longer than everyone expected, but this team has emphatically recaptured last seasons form. This is a case of a team gaining momentum at the right time in the season, and they just need to keep riding the momentum train. While this team is still just outside wildcard spots, the 3rd and 4th seed teams (BN & GG) face off this week, couple that with a soft remaining schedule (FF & IKNAN) and this team looks almost certain to steal a wildcard spot.
2. The Tuckfards, 9-3, (2): I'm really glad Coach Burdett put on a show this week, as I was getting prepared to put The Tuckfards on top. Once again, credit where credit is due, they are in the midst of a truly special season, and are almost a lock to make their 5th consecutive playoff appearance. The next two weeks will be challenging (TTY & GG), and if they can win them both ti will do wonders for their confidence. The only question surrounding this team right now is, is this the year they put it together after Week 14?
3. Gridiron Gang, 8-4 (5): This is quite possibly the most impressive season by GM and Head Coach Stubbs, and thats quite a feat considering this storied teams accomplishments. Now fielding a pair of QB1's, WR1's and 4RB2's, this team is jam packed full of super stars. However, it's not all rainbows and hugs. They have the hardest remaining schedule out of any team (BN & TTU), and due to a lower points scored, they realistically need to win them both to guarantee playoffs. This could be the best team to miss out on playoffs, and it would be devastating to see the early season mistakes come back to haunt them.
4. Tom's Tyrants, 6-6 (6): If Tom's Tyrants some how manages to pull off a playoff berth and a Corona Bowl victory, it will blow Gridiron Gang's 2010 championship out of the water. Simply stunning. When the chips are down and this team needs to win every game, to coach makes it happen. They are still in must win mode, and they need other results to go their way in order to make it happen. This team has never been further away from the fork. This too, would be one of the best teams this year to miss out on playoffs if they didn't make it. Just sit back, and watch, is all I can say.
5. The Dream Team, 9-3 (3): Wow. And this wow isn't for the right reasons. Commissioner Stubbs hit the nail on the head on the LOC Report last week, this teams frustrations came to a boiling point, and it resulted in a mediocre score and their first loss to a team not named Gridiron Gang. They could have clinched a playoff spot last week, and essentially sealed a division win, now possibly all of that has been cast into doubt. This team is still brimming with talent, they just need to turn it around, and fast.
6. Bear Necessities, 8-4 (4): This team won last week, but they did it in such an awkward and uncomfortable fashion. It took a 30 point performance by a running back just to win by 10, in a game where they only scored 90. While I don't think this is representative of how good Bear Necessities are, they have been in somewhat of a slump in recent weeks. They have a big game this week, and should be able to bounce back from last week, but they need to be really cautious of missing out on playoffs right now.
7. IKNAN, 6-6 (7): Who would have thought 3 weeks ago that IKNAN would avoid the fork sooner than TTY? Who would have thought IKNAN would get forked at all? But here we are, and it's happened, the fork has officially been stuck in IKNAN's 2014 season. After such a promising start to the season, it has all fallen apart in the space of a month, and due to their inferior points scored, they are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. If this coach can learn from his mistakes, and pay a bit more attention to his team, they would arguably be a contender every year. But as for this year, they're finished.
8. ADRZ, 3-9 (9): Although it hasn't translated into a win yet, this team has really had a nice few weeks. Averaging around 100 points every outing, they are having a fine end to the season. They look like a good bet to avoid the toilet bowl, and could even possibly win out.
9. Forge Flyers, 2-10 (8): Coach Leach's crew have moved down, but only due to ADRZ having a nice few weeks. That won't make it any better however, and he won't like what I'm about to say next. While they are capable of putting together a nice score line, they have a horrid remaining schedule and not a lot of punch. They look destine to participate in the Toilet Bowl.
10. Jeff's Seals, 2-10 (10): This team has made a week on week improvement since their historically bad week. They are still managing their team, and making good coaching decisions. While they are almost a lock for the Toilet Bowl, they could certainly avoid losing it. It might actually be an enjoyable game to monitor - albeit a likely low scoring one.
