Lion
TAP (5-0) - TAP managed to hold off the Rhinos 2 weeks ago thanks to a strong defensive showing on their side of the field that held WWR to 1 TD and 6 FGs. They should get by Cult easily before a big game against Axis for the top spot.
Axis (5-0) - The boredom continues for yet another week but in 2 weeks they face TAP for the top spot in the conference rankings.
Windhoek (4-1) - An inability to punch it in to the endzone led to 6 FGs and a loss against TAP. The Rhinos have shown that they'll be in the running for a top 4 spot though.
Sahara (5-0) - Sahara has impressed so far this season but until they play one of the teams ranked above them I won't be sold. Regardless, I think they end the season with a home playoff game.
Uganda (4-1) - Fell behind by 14 points in the first half against Sahara but they managed to close the gap to 8 points by the end of the 3rd. An inability to find the endzone in the second half of the game cost them the game as Sahara would go on to put up 13 more points in the 4th to Ugandas 3. They played a close one against the Yaks last week as they again struggled to get in the endzone through 3 quarters but an 18 point 4th Q led them to a narrow victory.
Cult (5-0) - Big game against TAP next week that will show us what this team is really made of.
RnR (3-2) - Up and down season for RnR and I don't think they can afford to lose to the Joes next week. The final playoff seed could end up coming down to just one game with so many CPU teams floating around.
Average Joe's (3-2) - So far they've beaten every team they should have beat. Not sure what that really says about the Joes right now but the next 3 weeks will go a long way towards moving up in seeding.
CWE (2-3) - Bye week coming up before they face WWR, Yaks, Cult and Axis. If they can come away 2-2 from that they'll be in the playoff mix. If not, they may just want to pack it up for the season.
Austin (2-3) - Probably not going to have much luck against Uganda but the Yaks game could have implications down the road. Doubtful this team makes a run at anything though.
Yaksmen (1-4) - Beat Texas and then it was right back to losing. That continues next week against the Rhinos.
Boston (1-4)
Pottsville (0-5)
Texas (1-4)
Free-Lancer Army (0-5)
-Cult- (0-5)
Elephant
Philly (5-0) - Finally, next week we get to see Philly face a team that can challenge them. Will they continue their path of destruction or fold under the pressure of actually having to open up their AIs.
BSS (5-0) - Playing some solid dotball the last 3 weeks against some top notch teams but up next is the top ranked Philly squad. Right now both teams look to be locks for a home playoff spot so it should be a very good game.
Spring Hill (4-1) - Finally went up against a quality team 2 weeks ago and the outcome was a measly 4 FGs. Be interesting to see how the Pirates hold up against Asmara, Rwanda, Philly and Benin over the next 5 weeks.
Republic (4-1) - One more bye week before they face BSS. I see a lot of positives here and the next 6 weeks will be very telling since Benin will be playing pretty much every top Ele team in that span.
Rwanda (3-2) - Great game against BSS for at least a half. With the Sunami up by 4 points, Rwanda scored with just over a minute left before the half to take the lead but it was quickly reversed as BSS came back with a score of their own in 40 seconds. It looked like we would have a great game in the second half but Rwanda was outscored 3-17 the rest of the way. Are the Knights holding back or have they taken a step back this season?
ICB (4-1) - No doubt this squad will be in the mix for a playoff spot but there schedule hasn't revealed what we can expect from them yet. That probably won't change for 2 more weeks.
Asmara (3-2) - Next 5 weeks will be huge in determining playoff seed for Asmara. I don't doubt they'll be in the hunt but the question is can they make a push for a top 4 spot.
AquaBats (5-0) - I would love to say I'm impressed with the Bats being 5-0 but honestly the schedule has been the easiest one here. Next 2 weeks could ultimately decide if SD will make the playoffs. I don't see them as a threat to most of the teams ranked above them but, if they beat the Voodoo and Sons, it won't matter because they'll have tiebreakers over every team under them.
SoA (0-5) - On the flipside of San Diego we have the Sons. Young team, brutal schedule. No doubt they'll put up some Ws in the second half of the season but by then it may be too late for it to matter.
Steiner (3-2) - 2 game win streak and a real shot of extending that to 6 games. There's some life here after all.
Voodoo (1-4) - Just dominated over the last 4 weeks as they've been outscored 6-246.
Kirkland (2-3)
Vol Nation (0-5)
OffTopica (0-5)
Kenosha (0-5)
