Well the playoffs are here and it's time to take the gloves off! This time it's the EEA1 Sports Page!
We got rankings, predictions and links to semi-porn!
Alpha and Zeta in one issue!
Good luck to the teams that made the playoffs and good riddance to the teams that are dropping out and good luck to everyone else for next season!

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

****ZETA PLAYOFF RANKINGS****

*#1 Macedonia Trojans (14-2) LW 1 - 14-2 and home games throughout the Zeta playoffs! Led by the 3rd best rushing attack and the #1 defense in Zeta the Trojans have been able to remain on top.
The Warlords are their first round opponent and are very capable of beating the Trojans as they did in their first meeting, 23-10.
Next opponent: #8 Pirgos Warlords (10-6)

*#2 Short Bus All-Stars (14-2) LW 2 - Getting a win in the final regular season game puts the All Stars at #2 and keeps them at home against the Dynasty for their first round contest.
the first meeting between these two teams was a dominating performance by Short Bus, 45-13. Can they duplicate that performance for the post season game?
Next opponent: #7 Luzitian Dynasty (11-5)

*#3 Knossos Minotaurs (13-3) LW 5 - The well rested 13-3 Minnies are ready to take on their first EEA1 post season opponent. The Hell Hounds come to town and in their last meeting it was a close 23-20 win for Knossos. Can Knossos contain the canny cadre of canines?......................say that ten times really fast.
Next opponent: #6 Istanbul Hell Hounds (11-5)

*#4 Banja Luka Funky Bunch (13-3) LW 3 - A loss in the last game drops the Funky Bunch to #4, but they still were able to retain a home game for the playoffs. The Funky Bunch got Funked.
But the post season is here and forget the regular season, the Mambas are coming to town. Banja Luka was able to get a 29-23 win in their first contest. Can the Funky Bunch get their groove back in time to make it a second win over Wroclaw?
Next opponent: #5 Wroclaw Mambas (13-3)

*#5 Wroclaw Mambas (13-3) LW 4 - 13-3 is the record of the Mambas after a 4th quarter comeback win over Luzitian.
Now they must travel to Funkytown and they bring their #1 punting unit with them. Time to pull out all the stops and go for broke to make it deep in the playoffs.
Next opponent: at #4 Banja Luka Funky Bunch (13-3)

*#6 Istanbul Hell Hounds (11-5) LW 6 - The Hell Hounds went 8-0 in the first half and 3-5 in the second half of the season. Not really the way you want to enter into the playoffs, BUT you are in the playoffs.
It's a fresh start and it all starts at The Labyrinth of Knossos and their 2nd ranked defense.
Next opponent: at #3 Knossos Minotaurs (13-3)

*#7 Luzitian Dynasty (10-6) LW 7 - The Dynasty come into the pst season with a 10-6 record and a round 1 game at the Drool-A-Plex of the Short Bus All Stars. The Dynasty was late for the bus in the first game between these two. With a turnover ratio of +74 will it be enough to make a change this time around?
Next opponent: at #2 Short Bus All-Stars (14-2)

*#8 Pirgos Warlords (10-6) LW 8 - Pirgos has become the Zeta box of chocolates of Forrest Gump, you never know what you're going to get. Who knows which Pirgos team will show up. The team that beat Macedonia or the team that lost to the Jive Turkeys by 1 point?
Better decide quick before you get to the Coliseum in Macedonia.
Next opponent: at #1 Macedonia Trojans (14-2)


**The Rest of Zeta**

#9 The Gods (8-8) LW 9
#10 Vancouver Jive Turkeys (6-10) LW 10
#11 Banja Luka Boracs (5-11) LW 11
#12 Renegades of Funk (3-13) LW 12
#13 Las Vegas Bandits (3-13) LW 13
#14 Greek Gods (3-13) LW 14
#15 Transatlantic Devils (2-14) LW 15
#16 Warsaw Mafia (0-16) LW 16

*****ROUND 1 ZETA PREDICTIONS*****

Here's my Zeta predictions record week by week.

Week 3: 7-1, Week 4: 5-3, Week 5: 7-1, Week 6: 7-1, Week 7: 7-1, Week 8: 9-0, Week 9: 7-1, Week 11: 7-1, Week 12: 7-1, Week 13: 6-2, Week 14: 7-1, Week 15: 7-1, Week: 7-1
Overall: 89-14
GOW: - 7-6
Playoffs:

#5 Wroclaw Mambas (13-3) at #4 Banja Luka Funky Bunch (13-3) = Banja Luka Funky Bunch - I'm going with the Funky Bunch in this one. It should be a real close win just like the first game.

#6 Istanbul Hell Hounds (11-5) at #3 Knossos Minotaurs (13-3) = Knossos Minotaurs - Istanbul hasn't shown much against the tougher teams in Zeta. The Minnies won the first meeting and should do the same in this one.

#7 Luzitian Dynasty (11-5) at #2 Short Bus All-Stars (14-2) = Short Bus All-Stars - The Dynasty couldn't keep up with Short Bus the first time around and I should expect the same this time too.

#8 Pirgos Warlords (10-6) at #1 Macedonia Trojans (14-2) = Macedonia Trojans - Pirgos is probably the team the Trojans wouldn't want to face in the first round because of their unpredictability. They beat the Trojans before, but can they come together and do it again?


Good luck to all the teams in Zeta Conference!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________


****ALPHA PLAYOFF RANKINGS****

*#1 Legal Smexies (16-0) LW 1 - Well Smexies, you're 16-0, #1 in all of EEA1, legal, smart, sexy and most of all................................you looked good doing it!
Time to start the playoffs and the Average Joe's will be the first Christian thrown to the lions.
Next opponent: #8 Average Joe's (10-6)

*#2 Gunzenhausen Wolfpack (13-3) LW 3 - The Wolfpack seem to break all the limits this season. They go 13-3 amongst an extremely competitive Alpha. They upset Czech. They beat CKT. And they have earned themselves the #2 ranking in Alpha.
But that #2 ranking doesn't mean you get it easy. The Danube Blues are up first and they are fresh off a victory over Czech Yourself.
You guys will have your paws full.
Next opponent: #7 Danube Blues (11-5)

*#3 Czech Yourself (13-3) LW 2 - The Czech received their third loss of the season handed out by the Danube Blues and dropping them to the third best team in Alpha.
The playoffs have arrived and the boosting has begun. The Krakow Plumber's Crack have come to town to take the czech on in round 1. It was a close win for the Czech the first time, but don't take the Crack lightly or the Czech could end up with a face full of Crack.
Next opponent: #6 Krakow Plumber's Crack (11-5)

*#4 Croatian Killer Turtles (12-4) LW 4 - The Killer Turtles have managed a 12-4 record in their first season in EEA1. Coming off a two game vacation against the hitmen and the Fire Seers, it's time to clock in and get back to work.
The Amsterdam Hallucinations are up first and they are ready to take you guys to the limit. CKT won the first meeting, 20-10. Doesn't mean a second win is guaranteed.
Next opponent: #5 Amsterdam Hallucinations (11-5)

*#5 Amsterdam Hallucinations (11-5) LW 5 - The last game of the regular season was a loss to the Smexies, so they end up at 11-5 and ranked #5. Time to pick a new batch of mushrooms for the playoffs. CKT is ready for you guys and looking to score another win over you.
Next opponent: at #4 Croatian Killer Turtles (12-4)

*#6 Krakow Plumber's Crack (11-5) LW 6 - The Crack ended the regular season with three straight wins and an 11-5 record.
Traveling to #3 Czech Yourself in the first round of the playoffs. Last time the Crack lost by only three points, could they pull off an upset this time around?
Next opponent: at #3 Czech Yourself (13-3)

*#7 Danube Blues (11-5) LW 7 - Wow! What a way to enter the post season with a great win over Czech Yourself, 37-35! That should inspire the Danube enough to travel to Gunzenhausen and make the Wolfpack sing the blues in the first round.
Next opponent: at #2 Gunzenhausen Wolfpack (13-3)

*#8 Average Joe's (10-6) LW 8 - Well Joe's, you took the last playoff spot left away from the Gryphons and what do you get for all your hard work?........................the Smexies.
Sorry Joe's.
But I'll send you guys off with a hot chick pic:

and a second for making the playoffs:
http://www.bullz-eye.com/gnd/2008/12Kylie/Kylie-32.jpg
Next opponent: at #1 Legal Smexies (16-0)


**The Rest of Alpha**

#9 Bohemia Gryphons (8-7) LW 9
#10 Wildflecken Wolverines (6-9) LW 10
#11 Hungarian Hitmen (5-10) LW 11
#12 Greece Lightning (4-11) LW 12
#13 Wallachia Impalers (3-12) LW 13
#14 Belmont Fire Seers (2-13) LW 14
#15 Nyíregyháza Tigers (1-14) LW 15
#16 Ufa Tycoons (0-15) LW 16

*****ROUND 1 ALPHA PREDICTIONS*****

Here's my Alpha predictions record week by week.

Week 3: 5-3, Week 4: 6-2, Week 5: 7-1, Week 6: 7-1, Week 7: 8-0, Week 8: 7-1, Week 9: 7-1, Week 11: 7-1, Week 12: 7-1, Week 13: 8-0, Week 14: 7-1, Week 15: 8-0, Week 16: 6-2
Overall: 90-14
GOW: 9-4
Playoffs:

#5 Amsterdam Hallucinations (11-5) at #4 Croatian Killer Turtles (12-4) = Croatian Killer Turtles - Well, this is going to be a good one, but I am sticking with CKT to get back on track and roll in the playoffs.

#7 Danube Blues (11-5) at #2 Gunzenhausen Wolfpack (13-3) = Gunzenhausen Wolfpack - If there was a GOW in the playoffs, this would be it for me. Both teams have the ability to beat anyone. Sad to see one of them go home.

#6 Krakow Plumber's Crack (11-5) at #3 Czech Yourself (13-3) = Czech Yourself - After the late season boosting, look for the Czech to roll this time.

#8 Average Joe's (10-6) at #1 Legal Smexies (16-0) = Legal Smexies - This is probably the only "sure thing" in all of the EEA1 playoff match ups. Smexies should roll.
Goodnight sweet Joe's:

Awesome write up as always SA. No one has it easy in Alpha minus the Smexie's, that would be the only upset for Alpha if the Joe's win. IMO all the other games are pretty much a coin toss lol. Quality teams going in.

Zeta's playoff's look to be pretty tough as well, I'm a tad biased toward Alpha though at the moment lol.

Great as always. But you're calling zero upsets? I doubt that.

The Shortbus is driven by Ron Jeremy, the master at finding holes.

What I meant by that is even if a lower seed beats a higher seed it wouldn't really be an upset as all the teams in the playoffs are tough teams imo. Wasn't saying anything bad, sorry if it came across that way.

No, my comment was towards SA. His predictions are that all top seeds win, which I doubt because the teams are so close in skill. Essentially I am agreeing with you that most games are a coin toss.

Ohhh gotcha and very true. In fact in lots of leagues, being 1st seed doesn't guarantee an automatic win.

Sure you can. Just throw Princess Darius in the way. How could Ron Jeremy want to pass on a bitch with tits that big?
