Zeta Power Rankings
1. Sicilian Centurions (120-3 Win vs. Arlington Sandlot)
15-0 (3-0 vs. Top 5 teams in Zeta)
I’m a little disappointed in this team. They let the Sandlot score and that really made them look bad this week. I was considering dropping them to #2. Can we just PM Bort and get this team out of our league already so the playoffs can be fun? I understand that the Sandlot isn’t a good team this season (not hating on you, just saying) but shit, 25.5 total yards, -46 on the ground. This is like watching a gorilla fight a baby. I would like to say the next game vs. the loldots will be a good one, but it won’t. Centurions move on to 16-0 and will win the League and be out of hair next season so we all can have some fun.
Next game vs. #2 loldots
2. loldots (24-17 Win vs. Ireland Drunken Irish)
14-1 (2-1 vs. Top 5)
The loldots are coming off a very nice win vs. a tough opponent in the Drunken Irish. A 7-point overtime thriller that has them thinking about an upset on Thursday night vs. the Centurions. The most impressive part of the game was their last drive in regulation in which they only had 1 second down as they marched down the field for the tying field goal. I would have liked to see a pass into the end zone as there was 33 seconds left in the game but they took care of business on their first possession in overtime as RB No Forgiveness ran in it from 31 yards out. They will put up a fight on Thursday but ultimately come up short and finish off a great regular season at 14-2.
Next game vs. #1 Sicilian Centurions
3. California Brew Crew (27-24 Win vs. Monaco Maniacs)
13-2 (2-2 vs. Top 5)
The Brew Crew sowed up a home playoff game with a very nice win over the suddenly struggling Monaco Maniacs. The Crew jumped out to a big 27-3 half time lead then had to hang on as the Maniacs scored 21 in the 2nd half to make it a nail biter. Perhaps the Crews owner Danmoose needs to visit the team at half time to make sure they play the full 60 minutes. This team is looking good as we get ready for the playoffs and though everyone knows their gameplan goes through RB Adrian “Ozymandias” Veidt nobody seems ready to stop it. They are going to get a decent matchup on Thursday from a very desperate team in the Drunken Irish. The Irish have to win in order to have a chance at the playoffs and they nearly beat the loldots this week so they know they have a good game in them.
Next game vs. Ireland Drunken Irish
4. Monaco Maniacs (24-27 Loss vs. California Brew Crew)
11-4 (1-3 vs. Top 5)
The Maniacs will stay ahead of the Pirates for this week as although they lost they certainly put forth a great effort. They have had a tough schedule to end the season and have hung in there but not been quite up to the task. They will have one last game before the playoffs begin to fix whatever problems they have been having. Based on the league standings the Maniacs will most likely not get a home game in the playoffs but will certainly be a team to be dealt with next season.
Next game vs. Trondheim Berserkir
5. Amsterdam Pirates (77-0 Win vs. Washington Warriors)
12-3 (1-3 vs. Top 5)
I know someone on this team will ask or wonder why they aren’t ranked higher than #5 and the answer is pretty simple. You didn’t beat the Maniacs heads up a couple games ago. They are coming off of a great performance vs. a bad team in the Warriors but the Pirates did what they had to do by out gaining the Warriors in offense by an astounding 550 to 46!!! I’m looking forward to their matchup this Thursday when they play the Bandits as I think these the two most underrated teams in our conference. I see the game being close early but the Pirates getting a score or two late that make it look worse than it was.
Next game vs. West Yorkshire Bandits
6. West Yorkshire Bandits (48-17 Win vs. EuroTrash Talkers)
9-6 (0-4 vs. Top 5)
Riding the wave of a 4 game winning the streak the Bandits will have to plan extra long and hard (that’s what she said, J ) for the Pirates this week. The Bandits took care of an improving EuroTrash squad by switching it up a bit and going primarily to the air. They are a team that is prepared game in and game out which means that the owner outlaw121 must be putting the right people in place. They have clinched a playoff spot which they are excited about but I don’t expect them to make to much noise until season 7.
Next game vs. #5 Amsterdam Pirates
7. Ireland Drunken Irish (17-24 Loss vs. loldots)
7-8 (0-4 vs. Top 5)
I’m keeping this team at #7 despite the fact they have a losing record and won’t make the playoffs because of how good they played a top tier team in the loldots who escaped with an OT win against them. They find themselves in a tough spot again this week as they will face #3 California Brew Crew to end the season. I think this team gave every last bit they had against the dots and won’t put up much of a fight against the Crew. This is another team that will be good next season and more of a reason why I think this league will be so very competitive.
Next game vs. #3 California Brew Crew
8. Copenhagen Hounds (38-3 Win vs. Artic Demon Santas)
9-6 (0-5 vs. Top 5)
After snapping their 3 game losing streak the Hounds can get back to winning as they will face a cupcake in the Warriors to end the regular season. The Hounds need to use this game as a scrimmage as they have already clinched a playoff spot and just need to find something new to have a chance at an upset come playoff time. They will win easily this week but will get rolled by either the Centurions or dots in the first round.
Next game vs. Washington Warriors
9.Trondheim Berserkir (42-7 Win vs. Kickback Cavaliers)
8-7 (0-4 vs. Top 5)
After a couple of unimpressive wins by the Berserkir they got back and track and beat a bad team the way a playoff team should; totally dominant from beginning to end. And as soon as that game was over they got to see that the Maniacs were next on their schedule. Oh joyous day for the Berserkirs!!
Next game vs. #4Monaco Maniacs
10.EuroTrash Talkers (17-48 Loss vs. West Yorkshire Bandits)
6-9 (0-5- vs. Top 5)
All playoff hopes were dashed quickly in their last game as the Bandits took it to them early and often coming away with a 48-17 win. The EuroTrash gave up much to many yards through the air and the WR’s for the Bandits did a terrific job of running for more yards after the catch (YAC). Another problem that has come up is the dropped balls that you just can’t have in a game where you are the big underdog and need a win. They needed everything to go right and even the owners own WR 7 11 BADASS dropped 5 on his own. This number is about 5 to many and must be fixed. I think this team is coming around they just need to fine tune a couple of areas and they will be in the mix next season. They get to work on a couple of things in the last game of the year vs. the Wolverines who are not very good (nice way to put it, lol).
Next game vs. Wolverhampton Wolverines
11. Glasgow Cats (27-14 Win vs. Wolverhampton Wolverines)
5-10 (0-5 vs. Top 5)
This is a team that is certainly the best of the worst teams in the league. They have had some good moments but double-digit losses are never a good thing. They are coming off of a nice win and will look end the regular season on a high note by winning their last 2 games and playing 3 straight good games for the first time all year as they gave the Berserkir all they could handle 2 games back (26-32)
Next game vs. Kickback Cavaliers
12. Arlington Sandlot (3-120 Loss vs. Sicilian Centurions)
3-12 (0-5 vs. Top 5)
With no real way in separating the last couple of teams I figured I would go with the head to head record. The Sandlot beat the Warriors head to head in the 2nd game of the season and have done little else since then. In fact, the only teams they beat are the ones they are ranked higher then except for the Demon Santas who they will play on Thursday. This team is still using CPU players in it’s starting lineup so the owner TroyMG is going to have to get on the ball this off season as that just won’t cut it in this league and probably not any others.
Next game vs. Artic Demon Santas
13. Washington Warriors (0-77 Loss vs. Amsterdam Pirates)
4-11 (0-5 vs. Top 5)
With no signature win for them to hang their hat on the Warriors can at least be happy that they beat a team from Alpha. They are going to face the Copenhagen Hounds for their final game and could make it close as the hounds love to play down to their competition. This appears to be a team with no real direction as slow vs. fast building. Some players are very low leveled while other are at 19. Perhaps the owner has a plan for season 7 I’m just not seeing it.
Next game vs. Copenhagen Hounds

Of course I know that the Centurions are playing the loldots I just don’t think it’s going to be a good game.
