Cowbell is having a tough time competing against the older squads but we'll still try to make things entertaining.

I wouldn't count on Nile winning another game this season

I haven't been around the Pro Leagues long enough to know if these rankings are something that could get stickied... E's work is certainly worthy of the top of the forum.

WEEK 13 RANKINGS
LION
1 Somalia Pirates (12-1) - Not much left in the way for the Pirates. Toughest game left is Mega on week 16 but Somalia should go into the playoffs with the 1 seed wrapped up.
2 Guyana Punch (12-1) - Handling their business since the whooping from Somalia. Like Somalia they have it easy the rest of the way except for one game against Philly that could force a tiebreaker for the 2 seed.
3 Philly Franklins (11-2) - Two tough games left but this team hasn't lost a game since week 5.
4 CWE (10-3) - Still teetering on the edge of a home playoff game and the deciding point will be the week 16 game against Zambezi. The funny part is that in all likelihood both teams will have to face off again in the first round of the playoffs so will homefield advantage be worth showing your hand too much.
5 Zambezi Silverbacks (10-3) - Zambezi still has 2 tough games left. One against Philly and the other against their potential first round matchup, CWE.
6 Mega City Monsters (7-6) - Most likely looking at a 9-7 finish with the Pirates waiting at the finish line. Great APL start though against some of the toughest teams around.
7 San Diego (8-5) - Still have to face Lincoln and that loss to Mega could cost them in the seeding.
8 Lincoln (7-6) - The Saints are on the edge of the playoffs so nothing is guaranteed yet. They still have to face a tough SD squad and this team has only beaten one playoff team this season.
9 Oklahoma Outlaws (7-6) - The Outlaws playoffs hopes come down to their next match-up against Lincoln. They have a tough road ahead with Philly in week 16 either way.
10 Nile River Assassins (6-7) - After stringing together 3 wins in a row they get CWE and Somalia. 7-9 it is.
11 Transylvania (4-9)
12 Texas Longhorns (3-10)
13 Cape Verde Aces (2-11)
14 Manchester Mass Murderers (2-11)
15 Nuremberg Nighthawks (1-12)
16 Medicine Hat Witch Doctors (0-13)
ELEPHANT
1 A7 (13-0) - Huge win over CMC sets them up nicely for the 1 seed even if the road isn't exactly easy the rest of the way.
2 Warriors (12-1) - Should lock up the 2 seed if they can beat Nairobi.
3 Carthage Mad Clash (11-2) - Narrow loss to the Warriors but they can coast to the finish line with homefield pretty much wrapped up.
4 Nairobi (11-2) - Still 3 tough games remaining but if they can take down the Warriors they give themselves a shot at the 2 seed.
7 Sons (9-4) - Holding on to the 5th seed right now but it's a tight race and they have to play Cowbell next. A win should secure the 5th or 6th seed at worst.
5 RMT (8-5) - Struggling lately and this is not the point in the season when you want to struggle with ICB and A7 up next.
6 Gotta Have More Cowbell (9-4) - 3 rough games left so Cowbell needs to keep it together.
8 ICB (9-4) - Hate to repeat it again but these last 3 weeks are going to decide everything when it comes to the bottom 4 seeds.
9 WWR (6-7) - Rough 3 week skid and with undefeated A7 up next it's hard to see that changing. I don't think 8-8 is going to cut it for a playoff spot.
10 ECS (5-8) - After shocking RMT this team has gone right back to struggling. Might have one more win in them.
11 ABD (5-8) - Enjoying the 4 game win streak that will come to a grinding halt next week.
14 Guyana (3-10)
12 49ers (3-10)
13 Santorini aka BSS (1-12)
15 Norfolk (1-12)
16 New Jersey Juggernauts (0-13)

A lot of young guys coming up. Our roster will hit 72 before this season is up, thing ABD is/did bring in their next round. Should be some better matchups in upcoming seasons.

WEEK 14 RANKINGS
LION
1 Somalia Pirates (13-1) - Not much left to do except wait for the playoffs.
2 Guyana Punch (13-1) - Homefield advantage is there's but will they be the 2 seed or 3 after they play Philly.
3 Philly Franklins (12-2) - Great job in the 4th to pull away with the win.
4 CWE (11-3) - Another rest week coming up before a week 16 showdown with the Silverbacks.
5 Zambezi Silverbacks (10-4) - After a rough loss they'll get to take it easy next week but then its off to the stomping grounds.
6 Mega City Monsters (8-6) - Get another easy one next week before they have to play Somalia.
7 San Diego (9-5) - Next up they face a Saints team that's been up and down this season. Game will be huge for seeding.
8 Lincoln (8-6) - A win over SD next week should be enough to get them out of the dreaded 8th seed.
9 Oklahoma Outlaws (7-7) - Playoffs are still mathematically there but realistically this last loss ended their hunt with Philly still waiting in the wings.
10 Nile River Assassins (6-8)
11 Transylvania (4-10)
12 Texas Longhorns (3-11)
13 Nuremberg Nighthawks (2-12)
14 Cape Verde Aces (2-12)
15 Manchester Mass Murderers (2-12)
16 Medicine Hat Witch Doctors (0-14)
ELEPHANT
1 A7 (14-0) - Only two more to go for a perfect regular season. Question is how much effort will go into the games right before the playoffs.
2 Carthage Mad Clash (12-2) - 14-2 here we come.
3 Nairobi (12-2) - Held on for the win but they still have to get through SoA and ICB.
4 Warriors (12-2) - Great effort in the 4th Q but the Warriors fell short of the comeback.
5 Sons (10-4) - Getting it done lately. 3 losses were by a combined 17 points but no one's talking about the Sons.
6 Gotta Have More Cowbell (9-5) - Gotta get back to winning before they land the 8 seed.
7 ICB (10-4) - Big game with Cowbell could throw another monkey wrench into the seeding.
8 RMT (8-6) - It's been a rough month for RMT but the one bright light is facing ABD heading into the playoffs. That should end this downward spiral they're on.
9 WWR (6-8)
10 ECS (6-8)
11 ABD (5-9)
12 49ers (4-10)
13 Guyana (3-11)
