Lot of big events happening today. We'll start from the bottom and work our way up.

Congrats are in order to the Silverbacks and Rebels, who apparently took my threat seriously and picked up their first wins of the season, ensuring their appearance on these charts for at least two more weeks. Maybe this is the beginning of some forward momentum for these two clubs.

The Bayside Tigers, while being victimized by those Rebels for their 8th straight loss, made another positive stride forward, keeping the margin of victory below the "blowout" threshold for the first time this season.

Big upsets at the top! Ironmen fall to the Gods of War, confirming what the charts knew last week - that the Ironmen hadn't really been tested yet. You can rest assured that Stalingrad's coaching staff is working furiously to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Meanwhile the Velociraptors reached out and touched the Pecs of Steel, handing them their second loss in three games. Pecs coach Eli Porter was quoted after the game "Who the fuck sold these punks that crate of Kryptonite?!"

And the Niners just can't seem to catch a break. They jump ahead of the Ironmen in the poll today, but the South City Chiefs, on the heels of their win over the Wolfpack, sneak ahead of the Niners with a stronger SoV and MoV.

Big Winners:

Well, the Niners have a crash course coming up...7 of our last 8 games are against teams in the Top 20.

I guess we'll find out how good (or bad) we really are.

Entertaining!

Looks like the ranking is falling into place there. Will be interesting to see if our improved chemistry over time will allow us to give the Niners and Ironmen a challenge.

Also, a shout out to Lex Luther for the special delivery that arrived last night at midnight!

Seems like my username is pretty appropriate after the result of that game.

All kidding aside, we had to review as much gametape as possible to try and find a way to attack. GG pecs. See you in the playoffs.

I'd say the Pecs and Gods found out how good we are.

I think they just didn't give us a chance...now, we are at the top of the conference and everyone from here on out will be gunning for us.
