well for week 11 (which is what the thread is for, and what you predicted) you won't jump. our next four games could be potential losses, but 3-1 or 4-0 are the most likely outcomes in my opinion. three of the teams are currently ranked 8-10 in our conference and the fourth is BHB, so in reality, we should win the three against the 8-10 teams and lose to BHB (though i think we can win that too). so you are correct in saying that a jump could occur in the future, but you are incorrect in your original statement that it will happen this week, which is what i was commenting on previously.

Oh. Well FINE BE THAT WAY. Use LOGIC. Pfft.

EDIT: Yeah, I was thinking forward opposed to just this week. I'd love to jump this week, but when the final bell tolls and we're the #2 seed...I'll be perfectly happy with it

heh, i don't share your optimism that you will make two games up on us. three really since we have the tie breaker.

I don't care if we do or not. In this one and done format of the playoffs, I don't truly care where we land. I'm hoping for a high spot...but last year shows levels mean nothing

Check to see if your predictions are right... (they're not)

Week 11 Power Rankings have been posted.

And you're just disagreeing as Detroit moves up =P

But I agree with her. This conference isn't so much about which team is better come playoff time, but which teams play each other. Most teams in this conference seem to match up well against some teams, and horribly against others. The right match-up will let one underdog team upset a top seed.

I'm hoping we go up against you, Prague or BHB in the first round

HER? HER?

PIX?

It's very possible Prague or I play you in the first round, depending on what seed you are. Figure Prague/BHB/Detroit ,not in that order,will be the top 3? I'm not sure if that's even for sure yet with DE and ADD lurking around still. But, assuming that is true, if you end up being the six to eight seed...you'd be matched up with one of us. It's interesting to see this league as it finishes the season. Some strong teams are showing chinks in their armor. Considering it's probably after next week we have no undefeated teams left...

All you people keep counting us out...remember, we are the ones with the top D in the league AND the only undefeated record, plus we already beat the team that beat SGA. I wont claim that its not possible that we lose, but its sorta grating seeing everyone talk like we have no chance after the season we have had up to this point.

Its all good though, either way we only have 2 days to find out for sure...lets put on a show for em SGA!

yep...
I think its because we have the #2 D, a mear fraction behind you, with a little stronger strength of sched, so far, and that we have the #1 Offense. None of the stats matter now... we just need to shut up a play.

Yeah i see all that raider, but that simply tells me you guys have a legitimate chance of winning, just as we do. Everything that ive read of late makes it sound like people think we have little to no chance of winning and it baffles me lol

You are a solid team, no doubts about that. But we have gotten to see how solid SGA's defense is by now so we're quick to use that as explaining why you won't win. Surprise us. Defy the odds like we just did. It's fun shutting people up

And not allowing a single TD until week 11 didnt prove how solid ours is? Like i said, i think they have a very legitimate shot at beating us, but i think its far from a given, and it just seems that thats what ive been reading lately.

most dont really read into the stats, if at all, before they start writing.

The game is there for the taking, I think it will come down to a few plays - turnovers or big plays on offense.

I AGREE Buzz, this game is going to be tough. for the winner and tougher for the looser. you guys are ranked the #1 team, ya cant cry foul to load...LOL

The stats lie, more often than not. If I sat here reading every possible stat, I'd be sub .500 and borderline insane. The key part is finding the right stat that signifies a hole to be exploited. There are the major stat groups to look at, but the key is finding that minor overlooked stat to attack

I.e, a RB having fumble issues over the last four games but not enough in the stat category to be a statement stat by a quick glance. I'm probably one of the more stat heavy guys but I don't rely on them to predict games...just use them for gameplans.
