It's just one big love in at the moment. I like this forum and would miss Jay if he ever did get the vols promoted. As for the big guy, his random rubbish is sorely missed.

Sorry for my lack of diligence in getting these rankings every week. At least now they should start to reflect the actual strength of the teams. So, without further ado here is how they stand after Week 6:
The Rankings Summary for the ALPHA conference:
Rank Team - Rating (Change from last week)
1 Hattgenstein Volunteers - 15.118 (+1)
2 Black Country Knights - 14.482 (-1)
3 Italian Stallions - 13.767 (--)
4 Dublin Anarchists - 13.121 (--)
5 London Aces - 12.652 (--)
6 Flying Monkeeh Armada - 11.901 (--)
7 Maranello Enzos - 10.663 (+2)
8 Minot Defenders - 10.512 (-1)
9 Belfast Defiance - 10.380 (-1)
10 Irish Car-Bombers - 9.177 (--)
11 Sinsheim MC Airs - 7.835 (--)
12 Davenport Tigers - 7.195 (+2)
13 Messina Blazers - 6.986 (-1)
14 Reykjavik Vikings - 6.312 (-1)
15 Jellystone Park Bruins - 5.014 (--)
16 Soft Fluffy Pancake Bunnies - 3.341 (--)
The Rankings Summary for the ZETA conference:
Rank Team - Rating (Change from last week)
1 Polk High Panthers - 14.636 (--)
2 Rome Poison - 14.370 (--)
3 Dublin Shamrocks - 13.481 (--)
4 Eastwick Savages - 13.125 (+1)
5 Helsinki Crabs - 12.797 (+1)
6 Mannheim Jaguars - 12.304 (-2)
7 Tilburg Lightning - 12.049 (--)
8 Denmark Destruction - 10.323 (--)

11 Siena IL PALIO - 8.119 (+2)
12 Portuguese Men-of-War - 7.854 (-1)
13 Milano Xela - 6.643 (-1)
14 Monte Carlo Maniacs - 6.441 (--)
15 Brasilia Rockets - 4.922 (--)
16 Trojan Magnums - 4.029 (--)
UPCOMING GAMES OF THE WEEK
Alpha Conference - Maybe I just missed it, but are there really any good games in Alpha this week?
Davenport vs. Messina - I guess I'll go with this game as it seems like maybe the Tigers and Blazers, while woeful, could have a close game, albeit without any playoff implications down the road. I could be persuaded to change this pick however, what do you think, is maybe Belfast vs. Flying Monkeeh or Maranello vs. Irish a better Game of the Week?
Zeta Conference - Now Zeta is more like it. There are at least three games I'm looking foward to, including:
Rome vs. Dublin - The Shamrocks are coming off a disappointing 120 point victory (disappointing that they had to even play the game), while the Poison comes off a close game at home against the Jaguars. Rome has been the Zeta favorite from day 1 this season, but the Shamrocks look to avenge the 10 point loss they suffered at home last year against the Poison.
Polk High vs. Mannheim - Meanwhile, the Jaguars look to rebound from their 4 point defeat at the hands of the Poison. On the other side of the field, Polk has provided a strong showing so far this season, and may have even surpassed the Poison as the Zeta favorites. We'll get a better idea this week as the Panthers face what should be their toughest game yet. Could home field advantage be the difference for the Jaguars to give them their first ever win against the Panthers on the second leg of this tough Rome/Polk High back-to-back.
Eastwick vs. Helsinki - Don't really know what to say other than this game should be a battle. Both teams are 5-1 and looking to be considered for the Zeta title. Looking at common opponents, Eastwick and Helsinki are both 1-1 against Mannheim and Dublin (with different results against each). I don't know who will win here, but I'm anxious to find out.
Least Anticipated Game of the Week - Lots of Games in Alpha for this category in Week 7. I could have gone with the Italian vs. Reykjavic or Dublin vs. the Soft Fluffies games, but I'll instead choose:
Black Country vs. Jellystone - Watch for Knights to bounce back after the defeat at the hands of the mighty Vols by laying down an epic beating on the Park Bruins. I'll be mildly surprised if the Knights don't put up 80 points in this game, while maybe giving up a single score. No offense intended to the Park Bruins, but the Knights are simply the better (much, much, much better) team here.

UPCOMING GAMES OF THE WEEK
Alpha Conference - My Alpha game of the week last time went to Davenport in a 21 point win. I'd say that's not a very good pick, except that every other game in Alpha was (I think) at least a 50 point point differential.
See the Snoozer of the Week
Zeta Conference - Again, the only matchups that are in any way intriguing are in Zeta.
Mannheim vs. Chernobyl - I don't know if I'm the Mannheim curse, but it seems that every time I pick them as a Game of the Week, they end up losing the game. Hopefully that isn't the case, but I'm always looking for the Jaguars to assert themselves as one of the top 3 teams of Zeta, so I'll look for that again this week as they face off against a scrappy team of Neutrons. Honorable Mention for the Game of the Week goes to: Brasilia vs. Trojan, which features futility vs. futility.
Snoozer of the Week
All Alpha Games - For the second week in a row, I'm not loving any Alpha matchups. It's even worse this week as I don't see any games that are supposed to be that close, or that are likely upsets. Looking at my power rankings, the top 8 teams all face a team from the bottom 8. I could be wrong, and something might surprise me, but I doubt it.

UPCOMING GAMES OF THE WEEK
Alpha Conference
Dublin vs. Maranello - Another weak slate of games in Alpha. My game of the week involves the Anarchists and Enzos as each has played only one team with a winning record so far this season (BCK for the Enzos and the Vols for the Anarchists). Because their level of competition hasn't been as high, it isn't clear to me if their records really reflect the actual strength of these teams. I'd put my money on the one loss team from Dublin to be closer to it's actual abilities, as they beat the Vols last season. Maranello has improved, but we'll have to see if it is enough to compete with the Anarchists.
Zeta Conference
Eastwick vs. Rome - I don't really know if the Savages can beat the favored Poison, but I didn't want to pick the Mannheim vs. Tilburg game since I always seem to have the Jaguars in this spot. Who knows, there seem to be some surprising upsets each season, and the Savages at least stand a fighting chance to knock off the Poison.
Snoozer of the Week
Polk High vs. Monte Carlo - Polk will continue to roll while the Maniacs will continue to get rolled. Only intrigue in this game is that Monte Carlo has not been shut-out yet this season. Will that streak continue?
