Was really busy this week and unable to make a week 12 ranking. Picking up where I left off in week 11.
This ranking is loosely based on fact and largely based on opinion. Thanks for reading. Please post and comment!
1. Whodey's Experiment (1) - WE is 12-1 with only one game against a playoff caliber opponent left. If WE defeats RR this week, they are locked in as the top seed in the East.
2. Fighting Gamecocks (2) - FGC pulled off a shutout of Tazmann's typically strong offense. I think FGC's week 13 win over the TazVikes was as impressive as any win this year, especially with the shutout. Assuming FGC beats the Birds of Prey in week 15, this team will lock in the 2nd seed.
3. Chicago 85' Bears (4) - Chicago won the big meeting of the undefeated squads in the West virtually locking in the top seed in the West. Gerr has done some nice work on his team this year and despite being the top seed last year, I think he has improved his squad this year.
4. Ultimate Underdogz (6) - The Underdogz defeated HG in week 12 by holding them to only 7 points and playing a pretty salty game all around. The Underdogz have proven to be one of the elite defenses in PWG in S38. Week 16 brings to town a big matchup between this team and the Redbeards to decide the #2 seed in the West.
5. Brethern Krewe Redbeards (3) - The Redbeards lost their first game of the year against Gerr's Bears, but preformed pretty well and could lock in the #2 seed with a week 16 victory over the Underdogz. The Redbeards will be a two loss team at worst.
6. TazVikes Nordica (5) - Taz lost his second game of the season in week 12 against jkid's Gamecocks. For Taz the road to the playoffs is still littered with challenges as he must still play Ohio St. PWs and RR to finish the year.
7. All Pro Falcons (8) - AI had an uncharacteristic scare against the dot mob in week 12, but has an easy road to finish the season and will be an lock for 3 losses this year... Which is at best going to get them the 4th seed in the East.
8. Birds Of Prey (10) - Birdman didn't have any big victories in the last two weeks, but both teams above him lost so he takes a nice step up in the ranks. Birdman has 3 tough games to finish the season facing Subversive, FGC and Ohio St. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one loss if not two during that stretch. Subversive has been giving people fits lately and they might finally pull one out in week 14.
9. Hired Guns (7) - I really felt that I could have dropped HG from the rankings after their week 12 loss followed up by a mediocre 1 point victory over the 5 win Midgets. HG faces SBWL in week 15 in what could be an important seeding game.
10. Royal Cocks (NR) - Royal rejoins the ranks after an extended stay away with 3 victories by tiny margins in 3 consecutive weeks. Frankly, I wouldn't have been impressed by this 3 game win streak except SBWL happened to be one of the losing squads. Royal is typically an elite PWG offense but just seems to have lost a step this year. They better figure it out quick as the playoffs are around the corner.
