Okay here are the rankings after game 10.
Here is what I went by:
1) Record or win/loss
2) Strength of roster

LW = Last Weeks ranking

You may or may not agree with them, but this is how I see them.

****POWER RANKINGS****

#1 Pretoria Pigs (10-0) LW 1 - Game 1 of vacation is over and vacation game 2 against Djibouti is up next. The top play off spot is theirs to lose now that Taipei lost their first game.

#2 Texas Armadillos (9-1) LW 3 - Eight straight wins and a play off spot keeps getting closer, but first how about a big game against the #3 team.

#3 Banghazi Barbary Lions (9-1) LW 4 - Three former A teams that have surprised are Taipei, the Predators and Banghazi. Moving to #3 after their last win, they now have to face their second #2 team in a row.

#4 Taipei Little Fish Rangers (9-1) LW 2 - Taipei lost their first game of the season to Banghazi 31-45. They should rebound against Lagos. Everyone else has.

#5 The African Predators (7-3) LW 5 - Well add two more wins to the seven you already have because.....................you're going on vacation! Yes that's right Predators! You are going on an all expense paid trip to Rwanda and Djibouti to play golf and all sorts of relaxing shit! All you have to do is show up to the games for a minute or two and you can have the wins!

#6 Detroit Drive-By (7-3) LW 6 - Detroit rebounded against Lagos 54-20. They need to keep winning with Doom hot on their trail.

#7 Impending Doom (6-4) LW 7 - With a look at their second half schedule, the Doom will definitely make the play offs.

#8 Strong Badia Tires (5-5) LW 8 - Tires started off with five losses and now have five wins in a row. Can't stop now if you want to make the after regular season party.

#9 Algeria Desert Foxes (4-6) LW 10 - That's two W's in a row Algeria. Makes for four wins total. You guys may have to win out to make the play offs. Murderers Row is up next in 4 of the 5 next games.

#10 Zimbabwe Bulls (3-7) LW 9 - A slim play off chance is still there for Zimbabwe, but I think teams will be feasting on Grade A prime beef in December.

#11 Lagos Eagles (3-7) LW 11 - Well Eagles, you guys are pretty much out of it, so have fun playing spoiler.

#12 Nigerian Nightmares (2-8) LW 12 - The rest of the season is all pride games. Make a good showing Nightmares.

#13 Zulu Brotherhood (2-8) LW 13 - The Zulu Brotherhood have played like they are from Mr Roger's Neighborhood. Time to step up and make a last hurrah.

#14 Rwanda HellFish (2-8) LW14 - Rwanda is beautiful this time of year. For those teams vacationing against them, I envy you.

#15 Zanzibar Face-Eaters (0-10) LW 15 - Scoring only 6 points and giving up over 1000 points in seven games means you are exactly where you should be in the rankings. Good luck in season 7.

#16 Djibouti White Tigers (0-10) LW 16 - Might as well enjoy some nice psychedelic rock:

*****PREDICTIONS*****
I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would on these predictions this season.

Week 4: 5-3, Week 5: 7-1, Week 6: 6-2, Week 7: 7-1, Week 8: 6-2, Week 9: 6-2, Week 10: 7-1

Overall: 44-12
GOTW: 3-4

#13 Zulu Brotherhood (2-8) at #12 Nigerian Nightmares (2-8) = Nigeria - If you aren't on these teams, does it really matter?
Game Rating: 4/6 Beers

#8 Strong Badia Tires (5-5) at #10 Zimbabwe Bulls (3-7) = Strong Badia - Two teams that seem to be headed in opposite directions. Take the Tires.
Game Rating: 4/6 Beers

#15 Zanzibar Face-Eaters (0-10) at #7 Impending Doom (6-4) = Doom - Well one team is consistent and the other isn't. Doom has been in consistent in winning games and the Face Eaters have been very consistent in losing them. Don't look for things to change.
Game Rating: 2/6 Beers

#9 Algeria Desert Foxes (4-6) at #6 Detroit Drive-By (7-3) = Detroit - If ever there was a time for the Desert Foxes to win, this would be it. Too bad they are facing the Drive-By.
Game Rating: 4/6 Beers

#5 The African Predators (7-3) at #14 Rwanda HellFish (2-8) = Predators - The Predators go fishing for some Hellfish while on vacay in beautiful, sunny Rwanda. Have fun Predators.
Game Rating: 1/6 Beers

#4 Taipei Little Fish Rangers (9-1) at #11 Lagos Eagles (3-7) = Taipei - Taipei will rebound with a win over the Eagles.
Game Rating: 3/6 Beers

#2 Texas Armadillos (9-1) at #3 Banghazi Barbary Lions (9-1) = Texas - Another big battle in this set of games. Both teams have really proved themselves, but giving he level edge to the Armadillos.
Game Rating: 6/6 Beers

#1 Pretoria Pigs (10-0) at #16 Djibouti White Tigers (0-10) = Pretoria - Like there really is any other option here?
Game Rating: 1/6 Beers

*GOTW*
#2 Texas Armadillos (9-1) at #3 Banghazi Barbary Lions (9-1) - Banghazi faces another #2 team and Texas plays their first meaningful game since beating Impending Doom. It's King of the Hill time! Who has it in them to remain on top?!

This Week's Overall Beer Rating:
25/48 beers - Ok, 25 beers this time. Three good games this time around so get stocked up on all the beer and BBQ, get settled into your favorite chair, get your keyboard warmed up and let's play some football!

Good luck to all the teams in Lion Conference! !

GOod game lions, you A's sure are taking names.



Pigs have had the sack title 3 years running, it's a small , small thing in the grand scheme of it all, but it would be nice to have it 4 years running, today did not hurt Wacko's chances. Emo Boy and Francois still have a few good games to make ground, but whatever makes everything more fun does ., and who doesn't like sacks??

Yeah but Maine didn't get to play a completely CPU team so the fact that their DE is still in the lead is much more impressive this season at least.

My DT smashed in the game.

If we can find a way to win our next game it would be awesome.

We're beating Detroit - we almost did last season, and while both teams are much improved, I hate to say it...

but being that the owner/GM of Algeria are FROM Detroit, we refuse to lose to Detroit. :3

IMO, 4 years running would suck. That means you've toiled in obscurity for a long time. Hang on come playoff time!!!
