Power Rankings
1. Forge Flyers, 8-1 (1): The more things change, the more they stay the same...but I'm going to leave a little warning flag here. That's two decidedly average weeks in a row now for Coach Leach's side. We've seen it before, the best team in the regular season slowing down to end the year and one-and-doneing themselves in the playoffs. I'm not ready to say that, but it's a watch out for sure.
2. ADRZ, 6-3 (4): Coach Wells' side have really been hitting their stride the last few weeks, now winning 3 on the bounce. And this week they earned the W. With key players on a bye, the bye week fill ins all came through, some of them really heroic choices (much to my own chagrin). With a division in flux, if they can string a few more wins together they will probably lock up the division.
3. Patistan, 5-4 (5): Coach Allen rebounded nicely last week, and despite still getting little production from their elite receiver duo, they're chugging along just fine. While relying on rookie RBs is going to lead to some inconsistent scores, there's no doubt this is a good side, one that would certainly be playoff worthy. They're in a tussle for the division, and have the talent to win it.
4. IKSAN, 6-3 (6): Look, it was a down week for the side, but they still got the W and remain squarely in the running for the division. They would have been higher if it weren't for the Zeke news. That makes this team really hard to measure. With Zeke, they're in really good shape. Without, not so much. But they've won 4 in a row, you can't overlook that.
5. Burdettinators, 4-5 (2): The first time Coach Burdett's team has moved down in a long time, and I'll tell you why. The monkey was on their back for a long time, then it left. Then last week they posted 45 points. Now, they were missing a lot of players through byes, injury, etc. But this is certainly a team in flux right now. They'll stabilize I'm sure, but at 4-5, I'm not sure they have enough consistency to turn it around.
6. Gridiron Gang, 5-4 (7): Coach Stubbs Jr has missed a couple of good opportunities to seize control of their division the last few weeks, but this is a good side that is now done with its byes. A score of waiver adds and trades have masked the countless number of injuries this team has faced, now it's up to the coach whether they return to the promised land or not.
7. Tanky McTankface, 3-6 (3): Coach Merritt will be cursing my name for moving his side up again, as every time I've done it, it caused a collapse. They lost a tight one to a beatable side last week, and now at 3-6, 3 games behind in the division and wildcard, I don't think regaining their form will change their fortune. They're not getting cutlery this week, but they aren't far off.
8. The Dream Team, 3-6 (8): Coach Nathwani must be disappointed with what could have been a great season. Losing OBJ was a blow, but the number of games this team has lost that it had a chance of winning is the equivalent to a baseball bat to the face. At 3-6, 5 games behind in the division, 3 in the wildcard race, even if this team did recover a bit, I think they're just too far behind to catch up. Stick a fork in 'em, THEY DONE.
9. Cash4Gould, 5-4 (11): Damn you Coach Gardner for ruining my narrative of your team, damn you to hell!!! This team topped 90 points for the second time this season in a great performance...only to still go onto lose. Irony is bittersweet, but for the rest of us we say how are you 5-4? I digress. This team has a solid floor, and has the potential for upside. They're in the hunt, if they can realize that potential they've got a chance.
10. The Southampton Narwhals, 2-7 (12, FORKED): Just like I've been saying all along. This is the best team in the league, hands down....nearly fooled you didn't I? But I do actually like this team, they always seem to be in and around 80-90 points, and this week they had a terrific day with a heroic play of Jay Cutler to seal the W. Weeks like this will be few and far between, but it serves to remind us that Coach Nunn is certainly not a joke.
11. Bear Necessities, 4-5 (9): Ooo err. This is getting uglier by the week. Pulling Rodgers out of this roster is like french frying when you need to pizza. If you french fry when you need to pizza, you're gonna have a bad time! Only Pat probably got this reference, but basically everything has fallen apart is what I'm saying. But, they're still in the hunt, if some players can get their act together they could turn it around.
12. Tom's Tyrants, 3-6 (10, FORKED): What is going on with this team? Coach Barnes had another bad week, of which I'm sure he'd even agree the team has become too accustomed too. Yet, they won? This roster is all over the place. They might erupt. They might whimper. They might fall somewhere in the middle. Who knows, but they're certainly playing for spoilers, you can take that to the bank.
