1.) (-) Revelstoke Rebels-This is unlikely to change until a showdown with Kingston in Week 9.
2.) (-) Kingston Devil Brigade-I heard somewhere that I shouldn't sign with this team. Something about a bad owner. Hm..where'd I hear that?
3.) (-) St. John's Dream-Big whoops against Niagara followed by a statement game against Windsor.
4.) (+5) Maple Ridge Black Sheep-This team is 3 points away from 6-0. That's why they get this spot. They also have solid wins over both Thunder teams. They've got Revelstoke and Kingston up soon. We'll get a better idea if they're capable of competing with the top.
5.) (+1) Windsor Armin Excuses-I gave them this spot because they did beat DA BEARS head to head, but I still don't think they're better. Well run team, but short on levels. They'll lose a few more games ahead. Niagara will be a good test.
6.) (-1) DA REAL BEARS-So hard for me to put them here, but they don't deserve to be any higher. Teams they've beaten are a combined 4-20.
7.) (+3) Ottawa Force-All 3 wins come over solid teams. Only loss that concerns me is the non-conference game.
8.) (+5) Niagara Daredevils-They beat us. They can't be that bad. As their chemistry improves, they'll be even tougher. The problem is they have Revelstoke, Kingston and Maple Ridge their final 3 games. They better earn their playoff spot before that stretch.
9.) (-2) CASPER SPOOKS-Need to win some more games. They'll stay around this spot I believe.
10.) (-6) South Bend Thunder-Ouch! 3 losses in a row brings new questions. They haven't been destroyed by the teams at the top like some other teams, but they haven't beaten anyone with a .500 or better record yet either. They need to beat Casper.
11.) (+1) Oshawa Hounds-Lots of issues on this team and plenty of holes to go with bad chemistry. They have some talent, but might be planning for next season already. They get this spot based on a 1 point win over SSS.
12.) (-4) Saskatchewan Screaming Sasquatches-Handed Doom Mountain their only loss. Either the West is terrible or SSS is better than this. Woes might continue with Kingston coming up next.
13.) (+2) Roman Raiders-They keep finding ways to lose. This could be a long season for them.
14.) (-3) Merced Raiders Thunder-Another team that can compete with the guys above, but they just keep losing.
15.) (-1) BC Buffaloes-Good guys, but this team is clearly the 2nd worst team in the Conference. I'm not sure if they can escape relegation, but they should just focus on a lower team that they think they can upset and token boost and game plan the hell out of them. They might be able to steal a game somewhere, but I wouldn't bet on it.
16.) (-) Ensley Yellowjackets-Still only 1 CPU! Yay!!
