South Bend (9-0) - Would like to say they're entering a tough stretch but the way this team is playing it could just be another 7 weeks of bloodbaths.
Axis (8-1) - Slipped up against the Joes but turned it right back around with a win over CWE (11 sacks, damn).
TAP (9-0) - Hell of a battle against the Dogs last week and TAP squeaked out the win in OT. Some big games still remain on schedule and with Axis up next I'll hold off on moving them up a spot.
RnR (8-1) - Had to fight back in the 4th to come away with the win over Cult. 6 of their next 7 games should be interesting with a much tougher second half schedule that may start to dull some of the shine off their 8-1 record. For now I'll bump them up but I have a feeling they'll be dropping a few spots over the coming weeks.
CWE (6-3) - Been up and down the last few weeks and they have to be hoping this week they'll be up again. After the Clays game in week 11 their schedule gets rough for 4 weeks.
Spring Hill (5-4) - Should take advantage of a weakening schedule but those narrow losses to CWE and TAP could hurt them later.
Boston (5-4) - Back to back 3 point losses but after the next 2 games the Dogs have a shot at sweeping the rest.
HOODS (6-3) - On a 3 game streak (make that 4 after next week) that sets them up in good position for games against SHP, CWE, TAP and RnR. If they only take one of those they should still be in good position for a playoff run.
Cult (4-5) - Some tough losses the last 2 weeks but one has to think the next game will be the toughest of all. Good news though, 5 of their remaining games come against teams currently ranked under them. Bad news, with South Bend an almost guaranteed loss this squad has to beat SHP to have a shot at the playoffs, as well as sweep those other 5 games.
Average Joe's (5-4) - Played some good and bad games this season but, with their next 4 coming against some tough teams, we can pretty much write them out of the playoffs for this season barring some serious upsets.
Sahara (4-5) - Should win a couple more games this season but I see at least 4 more losses coming.
Pottsville (1-8)
Starkville (2-7)
Texas (1-8)
SS Lazio (1-8)
Clay's (0-16)

Philly (9-0) - Played a tough game against the Yaksmen with little scoring. After heading into the half up 10-0, Philly slipped up and found themselves down 10-13 heading into the 4th. An early 4th Q FG tied it up before they put the nail in the coffin with a 53 yd FG to win it with time winding down. Couple of tough games remaining if Philly tries to run the table so they haven't wrapped up the #1 seed yet.
LOL (8-1) - Well, i'm sold.
Rwanda (7-2) - Fell behind early against LOL (3-21 at the end of the 1st Q) but they fought back to make it a game, that is until the 4th Q came around and LOL took over for good.
SCM (7-2) - Bumping up the Steel crew a little this week. Remaining schedule is far from easy but, in hindsight, their 2 losses were to teams that have only lost 1 game each.
Asmara (7-2) - After an easy bye week the Freedom Fighters are heading into a tough little 3 game stretch that could shape the top half of the seeding.
SoA (6-3) - 2 tough losses against Philly and Asmara. Can the Sons holf odd the slowly rising KBAs squad before they have to face LOL.
ICB (5-4) - Schedule won't get any easier and the win over the Yaksmen gives them a little room to breathe as long as they don't slip up.
Yaksmen (5-4) - Hell of an effort against Philly but in the end they came up short. 3 tough games remaining and it would help ensure a spot in the playoffs if they take one of those.
KBA's (5-4) - Win over Vol 2 weeks ago keeps this squad in the hunt and with games against the Yaksmen and ICB still to come their shot at making the playoffs is in their own hands.
Vol Nation (3-6) - After dropping the last 2 it would take a huge turnaround to see Vol make the playoffs. Schedules not crazy but I don't know if I see this team beating SCM, RRK and ICB which is probably what they would have to do to make it in.
