1. Edinburgh Black Knights (5-0) (Last: 1 Best: 1)
Put Bonn Jovi to bed early and got home just in time to see Michael Phelps break the world record in the 200m freestyle.
2. Glasgow Tigers (5-0) (Last: 2 Best: 2)
Game of the season is on deck for the Tigers. Looking for redemption against the Knights after being outscored 53-17 in two meetings last season.
3. Icelandic Vikings (4-1) (Last: 4 Best: 3)
They’d be undefeated if it weren’t for the Mayhem’s clutch kicker. Jamaica just awoke from hibernation, and suddenly the Vikes don’t have any easy games for awhile.
4. Milan Cock Fighters (4-1) (Last: 6 Best: 4)
Two straight big-time wins, and the Cock Fighters are looking really tough. When your backup HB has 298 yards and 5 TD’s, you know you’ve had a good game.
5. Bonn Jovi (3-2) (Last: 3 Best: 3)
It’s amazing how many teams I’ve had ranked #3, only to see them falter. That ranking is obviously some bad medicine.
6. Trillville Hoods (3-2) (Last: 8 Best: 3)
Made their first defensive statement of the year, albeit against 1-4 Belfast. They’re entering their easiest stretch of the season.
7. Tilburg Power (3-2) (Last: 11 Best: 8)
After a couple early heartbreakers, the Power appear to be back on track. A struggling Oakton team is up next, then a struggling Frankfurt.
8. Middlesbrough Mayhem (3-2) (Last: 5 Best: 5)
Well, someone had to be Jamaica’s first win, but I sure didn’t think it’d be Middlesbrough. Unfortunately for them, they were the first to find out that Jamaica can no longer be overlooked.
9. Frankfurt Universe (3-2) (Last: 7 Best: 6)
The Universe has deflated a bit heading into a tight stretch in their season. It’s a shame they got most of their easy ones out of the way early.
10. Schiffertown Griffins (2-3) (Last: 9 Best: 2)
If you look at their roster, there’s no way they should be 2-3 and on a 3-game skid. Some of it is chemistry, but it’s obvious they need to revisit their tactics as well.
11. Oakton Huskies (2-3) (Last: 10 Best: 3)
They were pounded by the Cock Fighters, and Oakton’s troubles on defense continue. They desperately need some fresh blood, if only for depth’s sake.
12. Jamaica Rumrunners (1-4) (Last: 15 Best: 12)
They had threatened a couple of good teams, but I honestly didn’t expect them to upset anyone this early. They’ve got a long way to go, but they’ve proven they can play with anyone in the league.
13. Belfast Shamrocks (1-4) (Last: 12 Best: 12)
The euphoria of the team’s first win of the season wore off quickly, as they managed less than 200 yds total offense against Trillville.
14. South Beach Sharks (1-4) (Last: 14 Best: 13)
Outlasted Chaos for their first win of the season. They’re one of a handful of teams that could push for that 8th playoff spot, but they’re going to have to start winning games at a faster rate to get there.
15. Chaos Engine (0-5) (Last: 13 Best: 11)
Chaos was a #5 seed in the playoffs last year. How far the mighty have fallen.
16. Las Vegas Lunatics (0-5) (Last: 16 Best: 16)
Averaging 250.75 yds/gm over their last two, as opposed to 105.3 in their first three. Hey, I’m trying to be positive here, God knows their morale is going to be in the gutter at the end of the season.

We could use some extra trash talk
