August 13:
#1 Russian Revolution
Record: 6-0 (Previous Rank #1)
The Russian Revolution continues to dominate all teams that cross their path. Their offense is lead by Fireball Jones who has put up 844 yards and 18 TDs. Their undefeated season will be tested in the next 3 games as they face Athens, Saratov, and Montenegro. With good game planning the Russian Revolution is still the front runner to go undefeated.
#2 Saratov Buffalos
Record: 6-0 (Previous Rank #2)
Yet again their Offense and Defense are just playing crazy good. Their Defense, lead by Darnell Wang, is holding the opponents to just about 5 points a game and totaling 23 sacks and 7 INTs. Saratov's offense runs and it runs hard with 4 different rushers over 475 yards. They still have a tough schedule ahead of them, facing Russian Revolution and Montenegro Meat who are both still undefeated.
#3 Montenegro Meat
Record 6-0 (Previous Rank #5)
Montenegro is coming off of 2 huge wins. But their next to games aren't any easier. They will have to face a tough Litochoro team and the undefeated Revolution. The Meat are hopeful that RB's Cactus Jack and Harvey The Wonder Hamster can keep producing the big numbers that they have been putting up every week.
#4 Athens Demolition
Record 5-1 (Previous Rank #7)
Athens have really proved themselves in the last 3 games, Beating 3 playoff contenders. They still have to play all 3 undefeated teams including Russian next week. The Demolition look to keep feeding conference leading rusher, Creepy Face, the ball so that he can keep improving on his 193 yard per game average.
#5 Estonian Wife Carriers
Record 5-1 (Previous Rank #6)
They have played a very good season so far. Their schedule is back loaded by far. In their final 8 games they are going to have to scrap together every trick in the playbook because none of those teams are going to let them off easy. The Wife Carriers have use a 2 man HB situation just like 3/4 of the league and it has worked well for them, producing over 1500 yards and 24 TDs. One fact stood out though... Combined the HBs have 4 Fumbles lost. It looks like they need a bit more carrying.
#6 Litochoro Cerberi
Record 4-2 (Previous Rank #3)
Litochoro doesn't have that favorable schedule ahead of them. They have 3 really challenging games in front of them. I think if they can win those at least 2 of those games they will have a pretty good shot at making a top 4 spot in the playoffs. There running game doesnt seem to be slowed as all their rushers have very close to 7 yards per carry. It looks like they will be in a few more shoot outs before this season is over.
#7 St. Petersburg Red Tide
Record 4-2 (Previous Rank #10)
This team is a sleeper, they have a lot of talent in the coaching staff. They have beat 2 teams that are ranked higher than them but i think they still will lose 4 more games. They won a scrimmage game so that puts their team at a 4 game winning streak and they are hoping to bring some of that morale into all of there next games. The Red Tide aren't offensive demons but they know how to win games.
#8 Vancouver Jive Turkeys
Record 3-3 (Previous Rank #9)
All 3 loses were to teams higher ranked than them. They don't have any easy games left so they are going to have to put every ounce of energy into these games. They wanna ride the back of Fire ItenDer who has put up lots of yards and 10 TDs so far. As long as their WR's stay true to him and cut down on the number of drops they should have a good flow of offense.
Ranking 9-16 (all very close)
#9 Esgares Death Knights (Previous Rank #4)
#10 Helsinki Red Raiders (Previous Rank #8)
#11 Samarkand Wolverines (Previous Rank #11)
#12 Grid Iron Valor (Previous Rank #12)
#13 Krakow Gutter Runners (Previous Rank #14
#14 Lefkada Ionian Sea Hawks (Previous Rank #13)
#15 Wroclaw Mambas (Previous Rank #15)
#16 Transylvania Vampires (Previous Rank #16)
These are based on opinions, I can miss things. It will be easier later in the season.
