Well unlike Zeta no team in Alpha is undefeated. Anyone can beat everyone in this league it seems like. This is just my opinion, feel free to post what you think but I really don't care
#1 Fiji Ventures-- This team has put up good numbers, their only loss comes to Danish, which was a 1 pt loss, but they turned around and beat Guam. Fiji doesn't have the highest levels but appear to have a great AI that just beats you down as the game goes on.
#2 Danish Killers-- They have been impressive, beat Fiji by 1, but lost to HDW in an impressive bout. This team has what it takes to beat Guam as well. Offensively they have high levels, Defensively they're kind of lacking parity throughout which may be their downfall as the season goes on.
#3 Guam-- I know I'm going to have to listen to Guam bitch about how great they are, but really they've only played 2 competitive games all season long, one of which they lost, the other they won, but only because HDW had a poor performance. Solid team, that has the levels and ability to move up as the season goes on.
#4 Wagga Wave-- Barely lost to Fiji, but barely beat Tigersharks and HDW. This is another solid team that can easily jump up to #1 in a week. They still have a few tough teams to play before they can lock in a seed.
#5 Port Moresby-- These guys are low on the rankings on the league page, but they've played the heart of their season and kept all the games close. I don't think you'll see them pulling into the top 4 unless they're able to pull some upsets, which they're very capable of doing. HDW and Tigersharks have a history and the HDW are 2-0 so watch for that game.
#6 HDW-- My team, looks like our QB is a little underleveled right now but he's done well except against Guam. Look for the HDW to try and sneak some vital upsets to try and get that #5 seed or better. They've played a lot of the tough teams already with just a few left.
#7 Oahu Waves-- This team is one of the top teams on conference standings, but again another team that has only played the bottom tier of teams. Watch for them to fall quickly while they get into the heart of the season and the rest of the teams pick up the slack of theirs. 3 game stretch coming up where they have to win at least 1 and hopefully 2 (for them) to keep at the top and move up the rankings.
#8 Trilla Titans-- They're higher in the rankings but who have they played? They dropped one to Oahu Waves, but other than that haven't really played any of the top teams. This team has potential, but they've yet to prove it since they've not played any of the tough teams yet.
On the Bubble
Taylor Bulldogs-- This team was said to be one of the top 4 when Guam did the rankings, but quickly fell off the face of the earth when they decided to blitz every single down and not even be able to stop the run while doing so. Perhaps the D Coord should think of something else that actually works and they might be able to sneak into a playoff spot if it's not too late. They still have 6 VERY tough games to go though, and with a loss to Flaming Mcnuggs this week will shoot all hopes at a playoff berth this season.
Flaming Mcnuggs-- The only team that can say they had one of the toughest schedules besides the HDW. They played the #1 Somoa Foxes for opening day, and got spanked then turned around and took another slap to the face by the HDW. Pulled off a vital upset on Oahu Waves that could sneak them into the playoffs later. If they can beat Taylor this week they'll move up one more step closer to that #8 seed. They too still have the heart of their season left, but hold the vital tie breaker over Oahu for the 8th seed when it comes down to it.
Everyone else, sorry but best of luck to ya next year, Norfolk could sneak in but I'm not so sure
