Alpha
1. MPHD - Hard to argue so far with their track record. Their defense is stifling and they ran Lincoln off the field. Should be an interesting matchup with the Blaze today.
2. Lincoln - Impressive uplifting victory over Blaze after worthless showing against Machu has to land them here until meetings with HHWC/So Cal.
3. So Cal - Wins over HHWC and Blaze have them here...and possibly even #2.
4. HHWC - Defending champs and impressive running game with Zata running the show. Still looking down the barrel of a .45 down the stretch here...so tough to place them higher...yet.
5. Blaze - Hard to see them as 5th place but not much can be said as of yet. A win today would light a fire under those that jumped off the bandwagon early.
6. Nairobi - They have taken care of who they should have and almost tripped up the Blaze on the way. Should be the stagnant #6 spot to ride out the season.
7/8. Money would have to be on Osaka/ESL in any order...but the race for these spots could be crazy interesting down the stretch...even current 15th place Semarang hangs on a chance yet.
Zeta
1. Indy - I would place them here...but Moose Jaw certainly isn't far behind by any stretch...a slip up against CRR and close game with CAHE makes their placing interesting.
2. Moose Jaw - Losses to Indy and Carthage, but win over Alpine and Machu makes this team look tough.
3. Alpine - Another team to slip against CRR. Really close game with Moose and win over So Cal was key.
4. Odessa - Loss to Krungthep hurts. Have beaten everyone they should have since.
5. Arcade - All losses have come to higher ranked teams.
6. Carthage - Win over Moose is huge.
7. Nashville - Could be an 8 as well with some of their losses...but the win over Brooklyn has to place them here for now.
8. Brooklyn - Should hold down a playoff spot from here on out at the very least.
