1) Egypt Fightin' Tigers (3-0) Have been dominant so far except from a second half rally for the win against Uganda. Home playoff games are almost a guarantee. Might be biased by this pick but we shall see how it turns out.

2) Kalahari Bushmen (3-0) Has been dominant so far. One weakness may be their uneven roster with too much depth in some positions while having not enough of it in others. Should also have no problem securing home playoff games.

3) Bare Foot Gang (3-0) Will probably fall some the next couple of weeks due to a very hard stretch coming up. Might have the toughest remaining October schedule out of Africa AA#3. Good looking team though that should still be in great playoff shape after running through the gauntlet of talented teams.

4) Mayotte Metal Militia (2-1) Simply got unlucky with tough opening non-conference game. Look to be one of the best teams in the conference though. They have enough talent to have a chance to win on any given night.

5) Hell's Phoenix (2-1) It's tough for a new team to be competitive in a higher level league but these guys are doing a great job. You gotta give these guys props for being a top 5 team with some really good teams below them.

6) Eazy Company Elitez (1-2) They may be 1-2 but no one has played a pair of such ridiculously talented teams as they have to open the season. These guys should win every game left in October and move up in the rankings over the next several days.

7) Uganda Silverbacks (1-2) Have lost the last 2 close games but played well. They have the potential to move up while they shouldn't move down because all of the teams below have some big issues. I look to see all of the top 7 teams in the playoffs.

8) The Dead Presidents (2-1) Playoff contenders who have been blessed with an extremely easy early schedule. Their honeymoon will come crashing to an end when they play the Tigers on the 29th http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7028&team2=5383 then they will start racking up the losses as they play teams superior in level.

No problem, that 8th playoff spot is going to be a battle between you guys, the Mankato Bulls who look to be a solid team who is just suffering a huge chemistry hit early, New York, and Barcelona. If Mankato doesn't lose too much early then they should take the spot but they got unlucky because by the time their chemistry recovers they will close out the season with 4 inferior teams. It would have been beneficial for them to close out the season with 4 good teams. We'll see how it plays out. Should be fun to see these teams battle it out.
Your head to head win against them could put you over the top if it comes down to a tie-breaker.

It would be interesting to see any of you guys come up with your own rankings. I don't want to make the only rankings this season for Elephant conference because I'll always put my own team at #1 sorry Kalahari. If anyone would like to do it, we would all enjoy some new rankings for sure.

You guys have done a great job going 7-1. Most of your opponents have been non competitive but you've won against some teams that could have possibly beat you like Cybertron War Machine, Barcelona Blaze, and the Mankato Bulls. At least your morale will be high before you start to play with the big boys.

good luck
