Warrior General Games

I'm going to try to handle power rankings for both conferences this season

Sadly, I can guarantee that my Alpha rankings will be off during the start of the season, since I don't know too much about Alpha yet

First off, tier info:
Tier One = elite teams, best teams in conference
Tier Two = great teams and playoff bound, but not good enough to be in the elite teams
Tier Three = bubble teams; some of these teams will make the playoffs as the last seeds, others will just miss out
Tier Four = not basement dwellers or bubble teams; just in between. if they make smart decisions, they could be bubble teams next season
Tier Five = basement dwellers, rebuilding teams. two teams in this tier will be demoted, the other stays alive for another season

Anyways, here it is:
Week Eight Power Rankings


Zeta Power Rankings

1. Himalayan Raging Yetis (Tier 1)

t2. Idaho HurriCats (Tier 1)

t2. Myanmar Military Junta (Tier 1)

4. Guam Carabao (Tier 2)

NOTE: Fort Worth, Laos, Semarang, KWD, and Arrowhead are in the middle of a very tight race for the playoffs at the moment

5. Semarang Scorpions (Tier 3)

t6. Fort Worth (Tier 3)

t6. Laos Dragons (Tier 3)

8. Kolkata Witch Doctors (Tier 3)

9. Arrowhead Fanatics (Tier 3)

15. Downtown Munchers (Tier 5)

16. Saigon Whores (Tier 5)
-Future looks bright, since it looks like new owner knows what he's doing, but unless they make a remarkable turnaround, they're going to be in SE Asia A next season

Zeta playoff race

Games remaining breakdown (Projected record w/o games against tier 3 teams, # of games against tier 3 teams):

KWD (7-5, 4): 2 projected losses; 1 projected "easy wins"; 4 games against tier 3 teams
Laos (9-5, 2): 2 projected losses; 3 projected "easy wins"; 2 games against tier 3 teams
Fort Worth (8-6, 2): 2 projected losses; 3 projected "easy wins"; 2 games against tier 3 teams
Semarang (9-6, 1): 3 projected losses; 3 projected "easy wins"; 1 games against tier 3 teams

still try to rebuild the dogs old m8

Nice game Scorpions. Nothing seemed to work all that well for us...mostly because you forced the issue. Good job.

Thanks. Defense and Special Teams really got the job done today for us. I hope to see you guys in the playoffs and good luck the rest of the way.

I think Connoisseurs are Tier 2.

Good writeup Nightstar. Fun to read.

Thanks, I'll take that into consideration from now on

This week's stunner was Semerang's 27-23 stunning win over MMJ; it'll heavily effect the Zeta rankings!

Indeed fun to read though. 6th is a playoff spot

I expect Beijing to be overlooked, just like we were last season. Yes, we lost our first game 17-21 to Abac who are a strong team but it is still a showing on the part of Beijing which I'm proud of.

I'm going to bump Beijing up actually

Abac is a projected playoff team, and Beijing lost by just 4 pts to Abac, so don't be surprised if they're in the top 8-10

Hey nightstar you should just edit your first post after the games tomorrow with the new rankings. I think every 2 to 3 weeks should keep us on our toes.

I also feel that the Mustangs might be a tier 2 team with the Monks as the only tier 1 team. They look really strong.

I don't know about that but we know this ain't no disco.

Nice try. In the two times we played you last season, we won by one score in each of them. One went to overtime, the other was close to it. You're just trying to say you're not a tier 1 team so you might get overlooked a bit.

You're tier 1, bud. And when we come knocking on your door October 9th, we're taking a few of Drea Drea's passes home with us.
