Okay here are the rankings after game 3. Here is what I went by for now, at least until i get to know these teams better:
1) Record or win/loss
2) Strength of roster

You may or may not agree with them, but this is how I see them.

****POWER RANKINGS****

#1 Pretoria Pigs (3-0) LW 1 - The Pigs turned out to be the predators in their game against the Predators as they escaped with a 20-16 win. The Tires roll into town next and should keep the Pigs fat and happy at #1 next game.

#2 Impending Doom (3-0) LW 2 - Well the Doom rolled over Lagos, putting up 65 points in the win. They may actually have to break a sweat with the Drive-By coming up next.
#3 Taipei Little Fish Rangers (3-0) LW 3 - Taipei has three straight wins and should make it four straight with Zanzibar up next. Have fun little fishy's.

#4 Zimbabwe Bulls (2-1) LW 4 - Well there were questions about the Bulls being at #4 last game. Two straight bot teams and two straight wins doesn't prove much, BUT up next is a human team. Should be a Bull win, but hey at least it's all human.

#5 Detroit Drive-by (2-1) LW 5 - The Drive-By shot up the Face-Eaters in a 122-35 win. Up next is Impending Doom. Should be a good test for both teams.

#6 Texas Armadillos (2-1) LW 8 - The Armadillos are a very solid team with good depth. They could break into the top 5 pretty soon.

#7 Banghazi Barbary Lions (2-1) LW 10 - The Barbary Lions have their work cut out for them with a good Zimbabwe Bulls team up next.
Nice bull....heh, heh....pretty bull.

#8 Algeria Desert Foxes (1-2) LW 11 - Well here comes the turn around for the Desert Foxes and it starts with the drubbing of a bot team. But it is a win none the less.

#9 The African Predators (1-2) LW 6 - The Predators lost to the Pretoria Pigs by 4 points! Could they be a contender or just another pretender? This upcoming game against Algeria will gauge them against another good team so we can be sure.

#10 Nigerian Nightmares (1-2) LW 9 - The Nightmares lost in a shootout with Banghazi, but don't count them out anytime soon. This is a very good team that could surprise a few.

#11 Lagos Eagles (1-2) LW 7 - So far Lagos is either soaring like an eagle or getting shot down like a pigeon. Facing the Nigerian Nightmares should be a real good test for them to see where they stand against a more even level opponent.

#12 Strong Badia Tires (0-3) LW 12 - Strong Badia is just looking bad-ia. Losing to Texas keeps them in the bottom feeders club. Not going anywhere, anytime soon. The Pigs are licking their pork chops to get to them next game.

#13 Zulu Brotherhood (0-3) LW 13 - Well a 20-45 loss in the Zulu Brotherhoods neighborhood keeps these guys at #13. It doesn't get any easier though, the Armadillos and Pretoria are up next for you.

#14 Rwanda HellFish (1-2) LW14 - The Hellfish played like shellfish in a 111-3 point gutting of one of the bot teams in Lion.

#15 Zanzibar Face-Eaters (0-3) LW 15 - The only bright spot for Zanzi-bot was a human QB throwing 5 TD passes on a team made up of small kitchen appliances.

#16 Djibouti White Tigers (0-3) LW 16 - ***Error*****Error*****Error***, that was pretty much the game plan for Dji-bot-i, in a 160 point whipping!

*****PREDICTIONS*****

I'll make some quick predictions too.

#12 Strong Badia Tires (0-3) at #1 Pretoria Pigs (3-0) = Pretoria - The Tires have a chance, but not much. Take the Pigs.
Game Rating: 2/6 Beers

#2 Impending Doom (3-0) at #5 Detroit Drive-By (2-1) = Impending Doom - Should be a good test for both teams, but giving the edge to the Doom.
Game Rating: 6/6 Beers

#15 Zanzibar Face-Eaters (0-3) at #3 Taipei Little Fish Rangers (3-0) = Taipei - Aww come on! Do I really have to explain this pick?
Game Rating: 1/6 Beers

#4 Zimbabwe Bulls (2-1) at #7 Banghazi Barbary Lions (2-1) = Zimbabwe - Giving the Bulls the edge against my Barbary Lions.
Game Rating 4/6 Beers

#13 Zulu Brotherhood (0-3) at #6 Texas Armadillos (2-1) = Texas - The Brothers better take cover from a stampede of Armadillos.
Game Rating: 2/6 Beers

#9 The African Predators (1-2) at #8 Algeria Desert Foxes (1-2) = Algeria - This one will be great. Going with Algeria on this one.
Game Rating: 6/6 Beers

#10 Nigerian Nightmares (1-2) at #11 Lagos Eagles (1-2) = Lagos - The Eagles have a little more depth.
Game Rating: 6/6 Beers

#14 Rwanda HellFish (1-2) at #16 Djibouti White Tigers (0-3) = Rwanda - Like it matters, but it is "The Battle Of The Bots".
Game Rating: 2/6 Beers - 2 beers because it is all bots.

*Game Of The Week*
#2 Impending Doom (3-0) at #5 Detroit Drive-By (2-1) - #2 at #5. Two good squads going at it, should be a real good fight.

29/48 beers. We should be nice and trashed with a 29 beer rating. Should be a good week of football!

Good luck to all the teams in Lion Conference!

Remember, this is all just for fun. It really doesn't mean a thing.

Thanks for the fun Smiling. We lost to your beloved #1 by 4 in a brawl and we drop three spots? That's OK, we'd rather earn the love w/ W's and not GG's.

Geez King! How many teams do you GM? I lost count. LOL

Well to keep it fair, I went by records. I thought your game against Pretoria was impressive, on paper it looked like you should have lost by a lot more. But to only lose by 4 was very impressive.
But what would rankings be without a little controversy?

Good luck in your upcoming game with Algeria. That should be another close one.

This year will be tough for us as we're slow-building. I'm just razzing you; I think I can speak for everyone that we really do appreciate your efforts and your thoughts and comments are a lot of fun!

In the top 8, favored, and in a 6/6 Beers game?

Algeria looks like it's finally coalescing into the team I knew it would be.

Can I drink scotch instead of beer? I'll match you 1 for 1. Beer gives me a hangover whereas scotch doesn't!
