1. Santa Ana Swine Flu (2-0) - Last week: 14-13 over the Dogs of War. Squeezed out a win over the Dogs despite losing the turnover game 1:3. This game was 3.6 yds and a cloud of dust as neither offense burned up the field. Should be a good game if they get to meet again. They get a short break next week before back to business. Next up: Montreal Clown Suit Wearers (0-2).
2. The Dead Presidents (2-0) - Last week: 17-13 over the Al Qahira Inferno. In a game where a 38.5 completion percentage looked flashy... Another defense-dominating game, as neither team averaged over 2 ypc either. The Dead Ones also lost their turnover battle 1:3, but still managed to come out on top. 4 sacks from Dead DE FDR was the highlight of this one. But no rest for the dead as next up: Blacc's Bastards (2-0). GAME OF THE WEEK
3. Blacc's Bastards (2-0) - Last week: 52-0 over Vereeenging. The Bastards took care of business for the 2nd straight week and are looking more contender than pretender. The BB defense allowed 22 net yds to the Zombie Monkeys, who only had possession of the ball a measly 13 minutes thanks to the ground-it-out Bastard attack. First biggest test of the season coming up vs a proven AAA power. Next up: The Dead Presidents (2-0) GAME OF THE WEEK
4. Flashdancing Platypi (2-0) - Last week: 65-3 over the P-Funk Allstars. Weather man says: it's raining Platypi. Dominating win and for the 2nd straight game the Platypi did what so many seem to be having a hard time with lately: They got yards in the air. Yeah, 3 INTs, but that's easy to dismiss when you still win the turnover game 9 to 4 (What the hell are they putting on their balls in the town of Flashdancing? Does it make it easier to do the thing where you spin on your back? Does it prevent chafing?). Coming up next, a rematch against S14 AA#3 opponent Zimbabwe Rebels (1-1)
5. Al Qahira Inferno (1-1) - Last week: 13-17 loss to The Dead Presidents. Yeah, it was a loss, but the AA#3 champs proved their mettle by going tooth and toe vs the best team to not promote from AAA#2 last season. As a reward, they get the 2nd best team to not promote from AAA#2 last season next. But after last week, MMM's gonna have their hands full. Next up: Mayotte (2-0)
6. Mayotte Metal Militia (2-0) - Last week: 110-0 over Barcelona. Too old? MMM should stand for "Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!" CB Jabar Al Kalahoui was the man of the hour, racking up 10 PR TDs. Big test for MMM as last season's AA#3 champs roll into town. Next up: Al Qahira (2-0)
7. Covington Black Knights (2-0) - Last week: 31-13 over Toro Nation. Solid non-CPU debut for the Black Knights over what looks like a good Toro team. The Black Knight defense kept the Nation from putting together any kind of drive in the 2nd half of the game, and Covington gets the chicken dinner. Next up: Barcelona Blaze (1-1)
8. Dogs of War (1-1) - Last week: 13-14 loss to Santa Ana. A heartbreaker for the Dogs in their third matchup against the Swine Flu. Had a chance as Santa Ana went for a 4th and 2.5 deep in Swine Flu territory with 4 minutes remaining, but couldn't make the stop and the Swine Flu took the W. Next up: Zombie Monkeys (0-2)
9. Toro Nation (0-2) - Last week: 13-31 loss to Covington. The Nation played tough in the first half, but Covington was just a little too much in the end. A rough start to AAA#2 play for Toro - they'll need the win next week to get their feet planted on solid ground. Next up: P-funk (1-1)
10. Zimbabwe Rebels (1-1) - Last week: 119-7 over San Antonio. With Rebels are looking good so far and have to be feeling good after a dominating win over the Demons. They'll get to measure how much they've improved next week vs a team that beat them by 100 in '14. Next up: the Platypi (2-0)
11. Vereeenging Zombie Monkeys (0-2) - Last week: 0-52 loss Blacc's Bastards. The Zombie Monkeys got no brains for dinner last game. The Bastards ate up VZM QB Rockefeller for 8 sacks and HB Beast Gunther was TFL'd 8 times on 13 rushing attempts. Kudos to the VZM defense on holding the Bastards to only 52 despite being on the field for 80% of the game. Next up: The Dogs of War (1-1)
12. San Antonio Venom (1-1) - Last week: 7-119 loss to the Zimbabwe Rebels. A yo-yo start to the season so far. The Venom have a short roster of 32 human players - not looking like a playoff pretender after last week's game. Might be a good game next week vs a team that, while having more depth, is still relatively young. Next up: Nigerian Nightmares (1-1)
13. P-Funk Allstars (1-1) - Last week: 3-65 loss to the Platypi. Just got dominated at the line - and it's hard to score when your offense doesn't have the ball. P-Funk still looks good, and have a good shot at getting back in the W column vs a team they beat 18-16 in '14. Should be a good one. Next up: Toro Nation (0-2)
14. Barcelona Blaze (1-1) - Last week: 0-110 loss to Mayotte. Not a pretty game for the Blaze last week as their punt team was in shambles vs Mayotte. They say football is 50% offense, 50% defense, and 50% special teams. After last week, it's hard to argue with that logic. The Blaze have talent, but they'll need to get the hitch out of their giddy-up soon. A real litmus test next -- for both teams. Next game: Covington Black Knights (2-0)
15. Nigerian Nightmares (1-1) - Last week: 255-0 over Montreal. Last game was a nice track meet for the Nightmares (or more like a swap meet wherein Christian Okoye ran through Super Techmo Bowl style). Time get down to business for a game that looks like it could go either way. Next up: San Antonio (0-2)
16. Montreal Clown Suit Wearers (0-2) - Who needs human players? http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=105520806496
2. The Dead Presidents (2-0) - Last week: 17-13 over the Al Qahira Inferno. In a game where a 38.5 completion percentage looked flashy...

The Dead Ones also lost their turnover battle 1:3, but still managed to come out on top. 4 sacks from Dead DE FDR was the highlight of this one.

The BB defense allowed 22 net yds to the Zombie Monkeys, who only had possession of the ball a measly 13 minutes thanks to the ground-it-out Bastard attack.

7. Covington Black Knights (2-0) - Last week: 31-13 over Toro Nation. Solid non-CPU debut for the Black Knights over what looks like a good Toro team. The Black Knight defense kept the Nation from putting together any kind of drive in the 2nd half of the game, and Covington gets the chicken dinner. Next up: Barcelona Blaze (1-1)

Thanks for doing these AC. Rebels know they have a tough road up ahead, but at least these write-ups keep me interested in case the team's fortunes turn south.

Gonna be a shorter one, as I'm busy lately...
1. Santa Ana Swine Flu (3-0) - Last week: Broken scoreboard vs Montreal. The next three get steadily more challenging 'til peaking on 4/18. Next up: Zombie Monkeys (1-2)
2. The Dead Presidents (3-0) - Last week: 87-0 win vs Blacc's Bastards. The GotW turned out to be notsomuch as the Dead Ones dismantled the Bastards like a sledgehammer dismantles a Rubik's Cube. Next up: The Dogs of War (2-1)
3. Blacc's Bastards (2-1) - Last week: 0-87 loss to the Dead Presidents. The Bastards apparently have a little growing up to do before they can take on the mantle of league bully. Next game is against another team reeling from a harsh first loss of the season. Next up: Mayotte (2-1)
4. Flashdancing Platypi (2-1) - Last week: 27-41 loss to the Zimbabwe Rebels. The Playtpi hung tough, but only racked up around 1/2 the yardage of Zimbabwe. Still: too early to sound the death knell. The Platypi still look like a playoff contender. Next up: Nigerian (1-2)
5. Al Qahira Inferno (2-1) - Last week: 58-17 over Mayotte. One word: Emphatic. More words: Inferno=388 rushing yards. Mayotte=30 rushing yards and 6/40 passing. Next up: Covington (3-0)
6. Mayotte Metal Militia (2-1) - Last week: 17-58 loss to Al Qahira. A stunned silence in Metal Up Your Ass Stadium. The robots and death machines stand stunned still. Won the turnover battle 3:1, lost the game by 41. Mayotte's still gonna beat up their share of neighborhood punks, but just got served a plate of cold porridge sprinkled with fairy poo. Cold fairy poo (despite the inferno: Go figure). Will need to show they can bounce back. Next up: Bastards (2-1)
7. Covington Black Knights (3-0) - Last week: 42-3 over Barcelona Blaze (1-2). Here's what I'm thinking: CBK beat the Blaze by 39. Mayotte beat the blaze by 110. Mayotte just got served a dish sprinkled with cold fairy poo by Al Qahira. Is Covington thinking the same thing I am? Next up: Al Qahira (2-1)
8. Dogs of War (2-1) - Last week: 91-10 win over the Zombie Monkeys. Could use the ball bouncing their way a few times next game. Historically, they play the Dead Ones well, but lose by a touchdown or two. Next up: The Dead Presidents (3-0)
9. Toro Nation (1-2) - Last week: 41-9 win over P-funk (1-2). Revenge for last season's L. On the back of some big plays, went up 35-3 by halftime and held on like a crazed, jealous, strangling lover in the 2nd half. Next up: Zimbabwe (2-1)
10. Zimbabwe Rebels (2-1) - Last week: 41-27 over the Platypi. Helluva turnaround from one season to the next. S14: Platypi wins 113-3. S15, Rebels win 41-27. Next up: Toro Nation (1-2).
11. Vereeenging Zombie Monkeys (0-3) - Last week: 10-91 loss to the Dogs of War. Rough start to the season - and things don't get any easier next week. Next up: Santa Ana (3-0)
12. San Antonio Venom (2-1) - Last week: 68-20 over the Nigerian Nightmares. San Antonio QB Brees nearly broke the 500 yd mark despite being hurried 15 times and sacked 7. Almost better than the real thing. 275.5 yds of that were to WR David "Clamp" Bingheim (10 rec). The real Brees needs one of those. Next up: Montreal (0-3)
13. P-Funk Allstars (1-2) - Last week: 9-41 loss to Toro Nation. (I'm running out of steam writing; Sorry, guys) Next up: Barcelona Blaze (1-2)
14. Barcelona Blaze (1-2) - Last week: 3-42 loss to the Covington Black Knights. Next up: P-Funk (1-2)
15. Nigerian Nightmares (1-2) - Last week: 20-68 loss to San Antonio. Next up: Platypi (2-1)
16. Montreal Clown Suit Wearers (0-3) - I hope the MCSW gets a kickback from the scoreboard repairman.

11. Vereeenging Zombie Monkeys (0-3) - Last week: 10-91 loss to the Dogs of War. Rough start to the season - and things don't get any easier next week. Next up: Santa Ana (3-0)

Agree but I suspect we'll see things get a bit more accurate after the next week or so.
My playoff teams so far:
1) Swine Flu
2) TDP
3) Inferno
4) Dogs
5) Mayotte
6) Covington
7) Platypi
8) Zimbabwe
Love the write up though AC...keep 'em coming.

The Inferno is a good team no doubth about it. I'm not made that the ranking because after last season, I know why we are at 7. We could have been lower in the rankings. We just need to provide ourself this season and earn a higher ranking.
