Rank, Team Name, Record, Change from Last Week, Outlook



1. The Last Gunfighters of Texas (7-0) (+1) - I never wanted to have to edit this spot, but it's time I did. They successfully ended LOL's winning streak at 30 (I guess thats payback for ending their regular season streak last year). Regardless of how many people complain about Elephant being a 1 team league, it might be time to start opening up your eyes a bit. TLGoT are clearly the real deal and likely will finish this season up at 16-0. I'm a little bitter right now but I look forward to a playoff rematch.

2. Lake Opeta Legionnaires (6-1) (-1) - Lost a heart breaker today. 15 missed tackles in a single game isn't going to win you many matchups...losing the turnover battle won't help much either.

3. Zambia Zombies (5-2) (0) - Beat a CPU Fight Club to keep building on their record. At 5-2 and with momentum in their favor it will be hard to beat the rest of the season.

4. Sierra Leone Stallions (6-1) (0) - Huge game today and came out with a huge win. Angola was nipping at their heels in the standings and luckily their win against them helped distance themselves from the mid level playoff pack. A win next week against a 6-1 Cairo team and the hotseat starts falling even farther from the #4 ranking.

----The Hotseat----

5. Cairo Emperors (6-1) (0) - Even though they played a "possibly about to move to CPU" Durban team today like I always say a win is a win. Their 6-1 record places them among the top of the mid tier playoff teams. A win next week might just be their 1 way ticket out of the hotseat and into the elite elephant teams.

6. Angola Blood Diamonds (5-2) (0) - Despite picking up a L today it was against one of Elephants best teams so it won't move them in my standings. Next week they face off against Elephants best team currently. And heres a surprise, it's not the Legionnaires.

7. Gold Coast Corsairs (5-2) (0) - Dropped 181 points on a human controlled Tangiers team today. Hey guys you know they have a "kneel" function in the playbooks now right? Damn you guys killed them. Well done, if I had to try my best to look into the future I'd say you'll be ranked #6 maybe even #5 in these standings next week.

8. Babylon Bombshells (4-3) (0) - Solid win against a good Morocco team. I don't want to say this team has lost it's mojo but I feel like last year they would have blown out that exact same Morocco team. Regardless they are still a playoff team and still very dangerous to any team they face.

9. Russian Tractor (3-4) (0) - Lost to Cleveland today in a game that they really needed to win. You can't let the teams ranked below you beat you, thats a sure way to kill playoff hopes. I don't want to overstate anything but their matchup against Gold Coast next week could make or break their season.

----End Hotseat----

10. Cleveland Bombers (3-4) (+1) - I know it makes no sense you beat Tractor but remain below them. Right now Tractor has proved a bit more this season and thats why they stay where they are. If you can string together a few more wins like that then I'll have no problems bumping you up a bit.

11. Morocco Camels (3-4) (-1) - Tough loss today to a very good Babylon team. They did however play the Bombshells pretty close which is a good thing. The season isn't going to get any easier though.

12. Durban Donkeys (1-6) (0) - Thinking about going the CPU route...unfortunate but likely.

13. Tangiers Cape Buffalo (1-6) (0) - If Durban does go CPU guess who gets spot #12 on these rankings, thats right....Tangiers.

14. Liberia Hornhuskers (1-6) (0) - Well done Liberia. A win against Fight Club and it looks like you live to fight another day. Congrats.

15. Ghana Rhea Infection (0-7) (0) - Still not trying

16. Fight Club (0-7) (0) - Boring


Game of the Week

Emperors vs. Stallions

In a battle of 6-1 teams someone is going to have to come out the winner. The Stallions just finished beating up a 5-1 Angola team so they may be up for a repeat performance. Either way this game is huge for either teams standings going into the playoffs.

nice job...appreciate the effort

Nice Job Chuggy...I will say I think Babylon will make the playoffs...Go get'um Byang!

Vegas

Great job...

Nice work. Regarding the underleveled areas of the Bombers, we had a transfer of ownership since I simply don't have the time to dedicate to appropriately running a team and a few of our players took off because I would no longer be running it. The new guys did a great job of recruiting for such short notice though.

It will be interesting to see where we fit into AP coming over from Western Europe. Hopefully we will surprise some folks here

Good job man

They eventually lost to Zambia in the playoffs but no one is sure how much of that can be contributed to TLGoT's costly playoff roster mistake

What was the mistake?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the thread.

Ya, very costly. I didn't notice we had a few guys with day 34 contracts. Lost our kicker, return man, and our backup OT.

Learn from your mistakes, that was then this is now

Thanks for the rankings. I think this could be the most fun season yet

And a WR

Thanks for the rankings!

Nice write up. Good read.

Thanks, Chugga! Always a pleasure to read Power Ranking.

With so many new teams joining in APL, it doesn't feel like APL anymore. I'll keep trying, keep improving, though.
