GAME OF THE WEEK

E'ci FAlkruns vs. Khodumodumo's Revenge 33-51

What should have been one of this seasons best games turned into nothing more then a strange field goal kicking extravaganza(Damn you World of Warcraft!) Despite winning in these circumstances I had no choice but to rank the Revenge #1 after beating two of the leagues top teams.

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

OFFENSE
Mack Stongarm
Khodumodumo's QB
19/30, 201.5 yards, 2 TD, 0 Int

These awards were tough. I didn't see any really great games by anyone in non-blowouts. Either way this was a good game by a great QB against a top defense.

DEFENSE
Press To Impress
Khodumodumo's CB
9 Tkl 1 INT 3 PD

Same as above. Solid performance against a great team.

This board has been uncharacteristically lame so I decided to take a shot at my own power rankings. I may or may not do this every week...and yes I totally ripped off D3's formatting. I hope he doesn't sue!

I love it. I've been considering it also now that I have more people helping with the team. But first...more recruiting!

Nice work and I am sure LTD will not care.

Nice work, I miss these alot... thanks for your efforts.

The E'ci QB had a great game against us...

I personally think that we (Tripoli) are playing the best football in Elephant right now and we will find more out about our team in the coming weeks against Iowa and E'ci. I would be more willing to give first to the Revenge if E'ci didn't screw up the AI but they are definitely having a great season so far and are definitely one of the top teams which are all very close in talent.

And I'm a little biased but I think Tanner and maybe some other D players should get some recognition. Other than that good job CC.

Yea I was tempted to put us number 1 but I didn't want the rankings to seem biased. It was a close call so I went with the team I have no affiliation with.

As for Tanner while he had a great game (like always) I decided not to put anyone in as a top performer if they were involved in a blowout. As for defensive players in general the few close games seemed to be more offensive oriented and I didn't really see any outstanding defensive play.

Nice work, CC. I was thinking of doing the rankings as well, but was going to try to apply BCS rules. Which probably only means Iowa should be ranked higher than us since our loss is fresh.


And with BCS rules, the Revenge would be like .950 and Terror like .860. The Terror's best win is against SSS. Revenge has two top quality wins. Sorry Trip, you guys are basically USC playing in the PAC 10 while the Revenge has beaten top 10 SEC teams.

Agreed, the only reason I even had a second thought about the Revenge being number 1 was because it can be debated that without the AI screw up they would have lost to you guys. Either way though a win is a win and they have proven they can beat a good team without AI screw ups(Iowa)

As for you guys being ranked ahead of Iowa, I gave you guys the edge due to the AI problems. Do I really think Iowa is only the 5th best team in the league? Hell no! but at this point I felt like I had to rank them their. They are still a legit championship contender IMO.

Either way.. The top 5 are the top 5 teams in the league... the playoffs are going to be insane fight for homefield advantage!

looks good, nice work

Eh, it can kind of be debated. The Revenge still outgained E'ci despite having shorter fields to travel.

So you could certainly say the game would have been closer, and that E'ci would have had a better chance to win if that didn't happen, but you can't necessarily say, oh, if that never happened, then E'ci would have won.

The victory margin was 18, and the four missed field goals led to 24 points for the Revenge (three TDs and a FG). But it also led to three points for E'ci (the 67 yarder).

Keep in mind, though, that all were during punting situations. So the Revenge would have gotten the ball back on all of those plays anyway, just with a longer field. And it's unrealistic to think that E'ci would have gotten stops on all five of those drives, which is what E'ci would have needed to win.

I agree. All i'm saying is that with proper AI it would have been a really close game and E'ci would have had a chance of winning the game.

Mostly true, except for the 5 drive stop requirement. Say we stopped you on one of those FG's that became a revenge score and we scored on the drive following. That's a 14 point swing right there. Basically, we were down big in the 2nd a shorter field due to the flawed AI so we ended up executing an 'oh shit' gameplan for 3/4's of the game. We would have aired it out less and pounded it out on the ground more which may (or may not) have taken away that interception, introduced better clock management, etc., etc.,. Add to that the longer field would have given us more takeaway opportunities. I'm not saying that we would have won or that we wouldn't have. Chances are we could have given away 5 int's and 5 FF's and still lost even under our ideal gameplan.

At the end of the day, E'ci lost... Revenge won. Frankly, I still think we are the better team, but a win is a win and you guys deserve credit for walking away with the W. Game planning is a big part of the game as the players itself, and a flawed AI at the fault of the team should by no means change a teams ranking at the end of the day, so I happily accept ranking behind the Revenge... though I feel that BBE should be #1.

In regard to the AI, our team has multiple GM's who failed to properly test and catch the error. This is by no means one mans fault.
