Warrior General Games

Sorry about missing last week's rankings, I had a ton of work to do and didnt really have time to write them up. Damn real life interfering with GLB!

The Power Four

1. Frankfurt Funky Monkeys (13-0)
Survived a major scare from Saratov in week 12 and managed to sneak in a game winning field goal due to an error in the Scoregasm's offensive AI. They're still undefeated and undeniably the alpha dog in Zeta (pun intended), but 2 recent close games will have the rest of the league thinking upset come playoff time. A win against the Rasputins in week 15 will keep their record untarnished once again and lock up the #1 seed.

2. Cosa Nostra Hitmen (11-2)
The world keeps on spinnin' for Ragu and the Hitmen. They close out their conference schedule with a couple of cupcakes, and will have a moderate test in their last game against Alpha's Liverpool. With a very distinct possibility of having 3 teams finish 14-2, they dont exactly control their own fate.

3. Saratov Scoregasm (11-2)
Yes, we were extremely pissed about that loss to Frankfurt, and yes, we took it upon ourselves to unleash a violent assault on the Mad Dogs to make up for it. Just in case any of you thought we couldnt size up to Frankfurt and Cosa Nostra, I believe those 1500 yards speak for themselves. Sure it was just the lowly Mad Dogs, but I havent seen any of you eviscerate them like that. Let this be a warning to you.

4. St. Petersburg Rasputins (12-1)
I apologize for keeping you in the 4 seed for so long despite having the 2nd best record, but now you know how I felt as a Seahawks fan in 2005. But tell you what... beat the Monkeys and you'll get 2 weeks to bask in the glory of the number 1 seed. Sound fair? If you dont like it... too bad. Make your own rankings and you can be whatever seed you want.

5th place

5. Kazakhstan Dragons (11-5)
Hey look, you get your own subtitle! It's pretty much impossible for you to move up or down at this point, so just be happy you made the playoffs and start scouting out your possible first round opponents.

Why was six afraid of seven?

6. / 7. Secretville Offtopics (7-5-1), Hill Valley Deloreans (7-5-1)
You're both pretty much locked into one of these spots, so like the Dragons, just be happy that you made it in and start scouting the top 4.

Because eight nine... shit, I think I did it wrong...

8. South City Chiefs (6-7)
Based on your remaining schedule, I think you have the best shot to make it out of all the playoff hopefuls. Dont screw it up! I tend not to really think about these rankings. Any additional work you cause me will only drop you lower.

9. Berlin Crusaders (6-7)
Sorry guys, you gave it a valiant effort, but I just dont think you can upset the Blitzkrieg. And when I say that, I mean there is literally zero chance you will upset the Blitzkrieg. Ouch. I can be harsh sometimes.

Not really in the picture anymore

10. Mississippi Marsupials (5-8)
11. Bratislava Butchers (5-8)
12. Dresden Doomsday (4-9)
13. Italy Guardians (3-10)
14. Grodno Demons (3-10)
15. Mad Dogs (1-12)
16. Flint Tropics (0-13)


Game of the Week: Secretville Offtopics at Berlin Crusaders
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=4235&team2=4241

The only game this week that could actually have any impact on the standings. An upset by Berlin would throw the league into a TOTAL FRENZY!!!!! Or... it would drop Secretville 1 spot, and that's it. In any case, I figured this game has the smallest chance of one team being totally annihilated.

TOTAL FRENZY!!!

Bitterness, does not fit you Steeve....

LOL. Love this stuff. Hillarious as always.

Offtopics fall....Berlin looks like they'll just make it in and play the Monkeys in the first round.

We are not the team we once were, especially compared to other teams in the division who recruited well in the offseason.

Wow, the Monkeys have one hell of a game next with St. Pete... #1 verse #2.... I see another... edge of your seat game.... Good Luck St. Pete...

Good luck Monkeys. I'm hoping this is going to be an edge of your seat game. Although, I would prefer that I get to celebrate at the end

Nope... since we're stuck with 14-0 Stuttgart out of Alpha, we still need South City to lose one of their last two games (against 5-9 and 4-10 teams) for us to get in, as they own the head-to-head tiebreaker with their 38-37 win over us (though I'm confident we would kill them if we played again).

Not that I'm bitter or frustrated, but I'd just like to point out that Berlin has played the top team in Alpha non-conference both seasons... lucky us.

And Saratov has played the #2 team in Alpha both seasons. I, on the other hand, am extremely bitter.

Yeah and the Monkeys have gotten a doormat both seasons. Its always nice to have a bye before the playoffs.

Screw you

We just played the Week 15 games. The top four haven't changed a bit, so here's a quick look how the rest is shaping up.

5th/6th Place:
5. Kazakhstan Dragons 10-5 next opp. Mont-Laurier Nordiques (12th place)
Win to say in 5th place. Lose and Hill Valley wins, then they drop to 6th place. They shouldn't have any trouble with their weak 16 opponent.

6. Hill Valley Deloreans 9-5-1, next opp. Transylvania Grim Reapers (5th place)
Assuming the Dragons get a week 16 win, then the outcome of this game doesn't matter for Hill Valley. It's a pretty even matchup. The only thing to play for is the knowledge that a Hill Valley victory would ensure that the Grim Reapers do not get a home playoff game.

If the Dragons lose and the Deloreans Win, then Hill Valley moves up. Otherwise, there is no change. Kazakhstan, however, should win their last game versus Alpha with an easy victory (as all Zeta teams should, except Berlin). No matter what, these 2 teams finish in 5th and 6th place.

7th/8th Place:
Berlin beat Secretville, Secretville beat South City, and South City beat Berlin (by 1 point!).

7. Berlin Crusaders 8-7, next opp. Stuttgart Blitzkrieg (1st place)
Win and they are in at 7th place. With a loss, they need a loss or tie by either South City or Secretville to hold onto 8th place.
Let's assume Berlin loses to the Stuttgart because this is a tough draw for Berlin. Then their best bet is for the Kalashnikovs to put the smackdown on the Chiefs. Time to become Kuriya fans Berlin and better luck next time with your random Interconference matchup.

8. Secretville Offtopics 7-7-1, next opp. Aalborg Smurfin' Smurfs (15th place)
Win and they are in. A win and a Berlin loss and they move up to 7th place. A loss requires a South City loss to hold onto 8th place.
They say a tie is a tie, it doesn't hurt you or help you, but this is a case where a tie will help you. It gives them a slight edge in the who-beat-who love triangle. It also helps that they get to face the second worst team in the league. Looks like they should move up into 7th place. If they don't make it in to the playoffs, then they should quit playing GLB.

9. South City Chiefs 7-8, next opp. Kuriya Kalashnikovs (10th place)
They have to win and a get a loss by either Berlin or Secretville to squeak in. A win and a loss for both Berlin and Secretville moves them into 7th place. A loss and they get to be the bubble boy.
If Berlin doesn't miss a last second 47 yard FG for the win, then we aren't having this conversation. South City stole one with a 1 point win and 1 point has never been more important. Let's not count Berlin out yet. South City still has to win and this isn't a gimme match. Kuriya Kalashnikovs is the 10th place team, but on paper they look like an even match-up for the South City Chiefs. However, Kuriya should fear South City's might kicking game.

Steeeve, you could be right about Berlin, but they do have a legit shot.

South City Chiefs vs. Kuriya Kalashnikovs is the game of the week.
