ALPHA:

#1 Old School (8-0) - I guess its finally time I give you old bastards some due! There must be some meaning behind that 48 game winning streak. (even though it started when Christ walked the Earth) but anyways yall keep on truckn' just dont overlook any small speed bumps and you'll have a lockdown in the Alpha Title game!
PREVIOUS RANK: #2

#2 Wroclaw Wolverines (8-0) - Yall have done what ya needed to do so far this season, but the Old Timers just looked prettier in doing the same thing. I really hated having to knock yall down, but I guess when Week 10 comes then you can really make me change my mind.
PREVIOUS RANK: #1

#3 Yukon Huskies (7-1) - Reservation for 3. Name "Elite class" Congrats on opening the door and busting through to Elite Status, while the same time you kicked the Impalers back down to earth or tier 2! Could you ask for an easier 3rd quarter schedule??? Smooth sailings til Week 16! So enjoy the time off til then!
PREVIOUS RANK: #4

#4 Transylvania Impalers (6-2) - Only so many spots at the adult table, so Im sorry but just like the give-a-penny/take-a-penny dish somethings gotta give. Huskies slide into Elite status and yall took a notch down on the food chain. Thats ok still 8 games to turn heads. Your 3rd Quarter schedule should definately be a nice team and morale booster. So hope a team above you falls, or you'll be sitting right here still in 4 games.
PREVIOUS RANK: #3

#5 Pacific Predators (6-2) - Ok Preds you are now back in my good graces, but still gotta keep it up though. Have you seen your 3rd Quarter schedule??? Alert, Old Timers, and the Wolverines! Yep Im saying 2-2 this next quarter! Thus keeping you on a somewhat even pace with the Impalers for the fight for the FINAL Home Playoff slot!
PREVIOUS RANK: #9

#6 Alert Sentinels (5-3) - That early season loss to the Coyotes is really nipping you in the ass still! Got a good 3rd quarter schedule coming up, 2 CPU teams, Preds, and Impalers! Im saying your gonna knock off one of those 2 so a 3-1 record for the upcoming quarter. Not too shabby! You guys had a run in with both the undefeated Alpha teams, so at least that abuse is now over. Focus on knocking off on one of the upper tier 2 teams, and you could very easily still make a push for that Final Home Playoff slot!
PREVIOUS RANK: #7

#7 Yorkshire Warriors (5-3) - Still lacking that appeal of last seasons team. And we still will only get a glimpse of it like upcoming quarter. Still not overly impressed with your season so far, but hey I dont make the schedule. Another easy quarter upcoming so a 4-0 record for then is on layaway! Most likely will move back up when the 3rd quarter report comes out. So be patient and wait to strike your prey!
PREVIOUS RANK: #5

#8 The Hague Hustlers (4-4) - Most likely be be hanging out at the Alpha bottomfeeder lounge! Dont forsee you guys making it any higher than the 8th seed now. So come Week 14 its a "Playoff game" for yall. Winner of that game against the Coyotes will lock up the #8 seed and a date with the Old Farts! How exciting to make the Playoffs to only get suflexed in Round 1! Keep smiling though, they may run out of Mojo by then! Emphasis on "may"
PREVIOUS RANK: #8

***ON THE BUBBLE***

#9 Mukachevo Coyotes (5-3) - I really hope yall enjoyed those last 2 wins against the CPU teams! Now you're gonna get 3 straight losses! Basically yall are getting the #3, #4, and #7 ranked teams coming up. Not an easy task no matter what team you are. Until you can knock off one of those 3, well to be honest i'd just focus on gameplanning right now for Week 14! Raise the white flag for the next 3 games, then you'll have time to recover mentally for 2 games before the big showdown in the Desert!

ZETA:

#1 Glass City Fightn' Thundercats (7-1) - Guess who's back, ... back again! Thundercats just gave the Blaze what they got back in Week 4, a suckerpunch to the mid section! An unexpected blow and a Huge upset over their long time rivals the Thundercats have singlehandedly made the race for the Zeta crown a clusterfuck. TCats have a fairly easy 3rd quarter schedule so projecting them to go 11-1. However as i've learned never underestimate your foes. Should be smooth sailings for the TCats til the BIG week 15 showdown against their archrivals the Gods.
PREVIOUS RANK: #3

#2 Belgrade Blaze (7-1) - At least yall only have 1 real hard game left and thats Week 9 against the Bandits. Get past them and you're looking at a 15-1 record thus keeping the pressure on the TCats and Gods for the #1 seed. Now you can only pray that the Gods knock off the TCats in Week 15, as that will outright give you the #1 seed. Still a very impressive 2nd quarter with a few close games. Keep your chins up!
PREVIOUS RANK: #2

#3 Athens Gods (7-1) - Did almost everything they could to keep their #1 ranking but just werent there to close the deal on the Blaze. Still very much a contender for the #1 seed. Really it should be Zeta #1A, #1B, and #1C then #4 seed and so on down the line. Got a pretty easy 3rd quarter schedule so again ranking should really remain in tact until Week 15!
PREVIOUS RANK: #1

#4 Barcelona Bandits (6-1-1) - How does kissing your sister feel??? Afterall thats what a tie is! A very unexpected Week 8 has basically voided all chances now for a Bandit #1 seed. Need a lot of help, and I just dont forsee that happening. Strap in fellas as this #4 slot should outright be yours for the rest of the season. Next up a Week 9 date with the Blaze. Maybe you guys could borrow some of that fountain of youth potion the Old Farts are drinking over there in Alpha for this one, cause without it, you're gonna get torched!
PREVIOUS RANK: #4

#5 Black Sea Storm (7-1) - Probably the most humble team on top of the leaderboard in Zeta! Why cause if you just poke em instead of kicking them they are less likely to get provoked. A very talented but underlevled squad is still making noise in Zeta. But the Storm appears to be quieting for the next 2 weeks, as the Thundercats and Bandits look to cross over the Black waters unscaled.
PREVIOUS RANK: #5

#6 Lush Puppies (5-3) - Hello Slush Puppies and welcome to tier 2! Winners of 5 straight now get to take a trip to Athens and face the Gods. Then in Week 12 get a rematch with the TCats. Gonna be puppy suicide again this quarter with a 2-2 projected record. Still ok though coming out three-fourths of the season with a 7-4 record. Should definately be a strong contender for next seasons Zeta crown!
PREVIOUS RANK: #8

#7 Istanbul Anatolian Guard Dawgs (5-3) - That Week 4 loss to the Puppies is really holding yall back! And so will your 3rd Quarter schedule. Now yall get to face Playoff teams and Bubble teams this Quarter. At best looking at a 2-2 record, and your gonna need it to hold down the #7 seed. Best of luck as you begin your guantlet run!
PREVIOUS RANK: #6

#8 Athens Hoplites (3-4-1) - Impressive Week 8 against the Bandits. Instead of a for sure loss yall managed to tie a very solid team. Thus making your Playoff hopes even brighter. However a stunning loss to the Boracs, have definately moved yall down. Thus making every game now even all that more important. Have a somewhat difficult 3rd Quarter schedule upcoming so should be real interesting to see if you guys can remain in Playoff Contention and join your Athens counterparts for Greek glory!
PREVIOUS RANK: #7

***ON THE BUBBLE***


#9 Banja Luka Boracs (3-5) - Out of the Bubble teams, these guys seem to be the most potient! So with a win already over the Athens Hoplites, and a little help the Boracs could still very possibly slide into the Final Playoff Spot. Have a very favorably schedule for the 3rd Quarter, could quite possibly come out with a 3-1 record, however more than likely a 2-2 record. Still though that will keep their playoff hopes alive. I must apologize to yall as well and now i've removed you from last Quarters' SEASON IS ALREADY OVER list.
PREVIOUS RANK: #11

#10 Holland Pinoy All Stars (4-4) - Still in the Playoff picture but must pull some upset wins and hope for alot of teams above them to fall. If yall can manage to pull out a "W" over the Athens Hoplites in Week 9, then maybe you could leapfrog to the #8 seed. A loss there though to the Hoplites and your season is all but done. I also must apologize to you guys as well as I have also removed yall from last Quarters' SEASON IS ALREADY OVER list.

Thats what i like to see. IDk about smooth sailing till week 16 though, The Mukachevo Coyotes arent exactly a push over, i believe they will definitley make it a good game. Same with Alert. But that last game against Old School is the one im really lookin forward too.

interesting that you dont give the Bandits credit in the 1st standings for beating you as you still ranked yourself higher but because you beat us, you feel you're #1. Normally i can agree....h2h win would put you ahead but if you went according to your initial proposed rankings.......you lost to a worse team and thus should be behind.

This was a very disappointing loss....but to beat us twice in the same season in real play should prove a much harder feat. Sounds like 2nd round of the playoffs are going to be very interesting.

Agreed - we have a much tougher second half with 5 games against .500 or better teams
Thanks for the write-up

Good work T'cat. Alpha rankings look mostly good - I might rank the Tier 2 guys differently but thats just nitpicking.

Hit the Boracs right on the head. If we can slide into the last playoff spot we will be thrilled.
