Okay here are the final rankings of season 6.
Here is what I went by:
1) Record or win/loss
2) Strength of roster

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

****POWER RANKINGS****

Congrats to those that made the play offs and best of luck to them. Best of luck to the teams that didn't make it, I'm sure we will ALL improve by next season.

LW = Last Weeks ranking
* = Secured a play off spot

*#1 Pretoria Pigs (16-0) LW 1 - Perfect Porky Pals play perplexing post season pageant. Try saying that 10 times real fast! Great job Pigs, you were #1 from start to finish and never looked back over your succulent pork shoulder roasts! Good luck my little ham hocks, looks like it's the Tires for you to star off the play offs.

*#2 Banghazi Barbary Lions (13-3) LW 3 - Banghazi slides back in to #2. The Drive-By are coming to town for a wild shoot out, so hold on to your pantyhose, it's gonna get crazy up in this mutha'! Good luck BBL.

*#3 Taipei Little Fish Rangers (13-3) LW 4 - Taipei beat the Predators in what was probably one of the best games of the season. If you like to watch the games, you should check it out. Now they just have to wait for the arrival of Impending Doom for their first play off game. Good luck Taipei.

*#4 The African Predators (12-4) LW 2 - Predators drop to #4 after a loss to Taipei in their regular season finale. Time to make roadkill out of the Armadillo's in round 1. Good luck Predators.

*#5 Texas Armadillos (12-4) LW 5 - Ending up #5 after a loss to the Pigs. It will be all uphill fopr this sturdy team. Get ready to take on those African Predators (not internet predators, DuMan. lol). Good luck Armadillo's.

*#6 Impending Doom (11-5) LW 6 - Holding down the #6 spot probably isn't where they wanted to be, but they made the play offs and are ready to take on those Little Fish Rangers. Good luck gloom and Doom'ers.

*#7 Detroit Drive-By (9-7) LW 8 - Detroit moved up one spot with a lst game win over Strong Badia. Time to gank some Barbary lions now. GL to DD on the DL.

*#8 Strong Badia Tires (9-7) LW 7 - What a great turn around the Tires put together after losing their first five games. Traveling to Pretoria to put some treads on some Pigs is at the top of the list for these Strong Badia Tires. Good luck Tires.

#9 Zimbabwe Bulls (8-8) LW 9 - The Bulls made a great showing and missed the play offs by the slimmest of margins. Get ready for next season and good luck.

#10 Nigerian Nightmares (6-10) LW 10 - Well it wasn't the best of times for Tone and his Nightmare's. But there is a whole new season right around the bend and I'm sure we will be seeing these guys back in the thick of things next season. Good luck Nightmare's.

#11 Zulu Brotherhood (5-11) LW 11 - Zulu surprised a couple teams and will be back next season to take a run at the play offs. Good luck Brotherhood.

#12 Algeria Desert Foxes (4-12) LW 12 - Well, I just got a PM from SeverCitrin giving me a heads up on the moves the Megan......uhm Desert Foxes made. Seriously everyone, watch out for these guys next season. They were a favorite of mine this season, but from the looks of things no one is going to enjoy playing them next season. Good luck Desert Foxes.

#13 Lagos Eagles (4-12) LW 13 - Lagos ends up at 13. They just needed some seasoning and a little time in the oven. They will be back next season and ready to surprise teams by making a run at the post season dance next season. Good luck Eagles.

#14 Rwanda HellFish (3-13) LW 14 - Bye-bye Hellfish. Hope the new owner enjoys the team in A.

#15 Djibouti White Tigers (1-15) LW 15 - Bye-bye White Tigers. Hope the new owner enjoys the team in A.

#16 Zanzibar Face Eaters (0-16) LW 16 - I'm pretty sure these Face Eaters will be more comfortable down in A. Good luck Zanzibar.

*****PLAY OFF PREDICTIONS*****

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, Week 11: 6-2, Week 12: 7-1, Week 13: 8-0, Week 14: 4-4, Week 15: 7-1, Week 16: 6-2

Round 1:
Round 2:
Round 3:
Round 4:

Overall: 82-22
GOTW: 5-8
Play Offs:

My GOTW predictions were terrible, hope I'm better at it next season. Let's see if I can do better in the play offs.

BRACKET 1:
#8 Strong Badia Tires (9-7) at #1 Pretoria Pigs (16-0) = Pretoria - Going with the Pigs. Tires are good, but not Pig good.

#5 Texas Armadillos (12-4) at #4 The African Predators (12-4) = Predators - This should be a good one, but look for the Predators to rebound against the Armadillos and get the W.

BRACKET 2:
#7 Detroit Drive-By (9-7) at #2 Banghazi Barbary Lions (13-3) = Banghazi - I'm taking BBL on this one. Drive-By did win their last game against a strong opponent, but have been erratic through out the season. Let's see what happens.

#6 Impending Doom (11-5) at #3 Taipei Little Fish Rangers (13-3) = Taipei - Here's another good match up. I'm going with Taipei. They beat a very good Predators team and should take care of the Doom.


Good luck to all the play off teams in Lion Conference! !

I would say either Banghazi or Taipei are the underdogs for round 2.
