Alpha:

#1. Golden Coast Titanz, They are in for a tough season from here on out. They face only three teams with losing records and they play Samoa, Guam, Easter Island, and Amarillo... That will be fun to watch.

#2. Bay City Bohica, They are just impressing. They are on a little bit of an easier stretch, but they still have some challenges ahead. This is an impressive team.

#3. Easter Island Moai, I was very interested with their game over Amarillo, and I was impressed to see Moai take the win. Moai is just one of those consistant teams that will never go away.

#4. Guam Gamecocks, They are just doing great. They have played some great games, and some very close wins. This team is about to face a tough stretch; three of the next four weeks are against, Easter Island, Amarillo, and Golden Coast.

#5. Amarillo Super Frogs, Now I kind of know a little more about this team after their loss to Moai. They have two losses and they came to Davy and Moai, not bad. They are really a good team, but still need to get a few wins over average and above average teams.

#6. Puala Pimp Smackers, I know they have three losses, but their losses come to #1, #3, and #4 on this ranking. Despite their losses, they are managing to play some great ball. One of their losses was by only one point.

#7. Samoa Piranha Monkeys, What is crazy to me is that #7 could EASILY beat anybody on this ranking! AA is just so much more competitive than any A league. Samoa is proof of that. They have taken some tough losses, but they have really fought all season and are right there for the playoffs.

#8. Johnston Atoll Americans, They started off horribly with 4 losses in their first 5, but those four losses came to Hueco, Easter Island, Guam, and Golden Coast. They are on a four game winning streak and headed to Amarillo.

Zeta:

#1. Hueco Mundo Hollows, They have not really just been super amazing crazy in every game all season, but they just keep winning. They are incredibly consistant. No matter what the game, you can bet they will have a good gameplan and they will follow up on it.

#2. Fiji Panzers, That win over Sumatra is a biggy. They had every chance to drop a few games after taking their first loss, but not these guys. They fought hard and are moving up due to it.

#3. Asau Assassins, One of those teams that are just as good as anybody in AA#2. Asau is going up against one of the toughest finishing roads. Only three opponents with losing records and two of those are 4-5. The other is 3-6. They do not face any just nobody teams.

#4. Davy Jones' Locker Pirate Ghosts, WHAT! Their first loss comes to Coney Island?! No offense to Coney, but I did not see that coming. Coney is a good team, but that might be the upset of the season to this point.

#5. Sumatra Sea Hawks, They face Davy and Hueco in their finishing stretch along with many other good teams. Sumatra really is going to need to buckle up. I bet good money that they will be prepared for every game and will be ready to rock when the time comes.

#6. Krakatoa Kings, They face Davy, Sumatra, and Asau all back to back to back. OUCH! If the Kings can pull off two of those wins, WOW! They are playing great ball, but the road just got a LOT harder.

#7. Perth Cyclones, Their losses are to West Canaan, Krakatoa, Davy, Sumatra, and Asau; all are great teams. West Canaan is the only one not ranked. Perth is not an elite team, but they are definatly above average.

#8. Sempre-Sabbath Phenix, What bothers me about these guys is that they have not beat a team with a winning record. They are a decent team and still in the playoffs, but they need to get a few things fixed in the next few weeks.

Games to Watch

Alpha:

Easter Island Moai @ Guam Gamecocks.
What a huge game! Both teams really need this win to keep their top status. This will be a slug fest. I expect a lot of points, 30+ for both teams is possible.

Zeta:

Asau Assassins @ Fiji Panzers.
Slug fest babe! Asau and Fiji both are great this season. Both are freshly promoted and both are playing amazing! This is going to be a throw down.

Mid-season ranking so I extended it to the whole playoff picture as I see it.

Thanks for the kind write up on the P-Monks. We went back to the drawing board offensively a couple games ago and it paid off big time. Hope we don't get figured out yet.

In SSPs defense I must say we played every team very well. In every single game SSP has lost we have outgained our opponent in yards(significantly too) but lost the turnover battle every time which has been crippling.
Your assessment of things needing to be 'fixed' is somewhat correct, its not about fixing things as much as it is filling some holes. We are doing that though, have some brand new acquisitions coming in today and more on the way.

Playoffs- all that matters Ask Perth, Asau and JohnsonAtoll!

Ranking you at all is a compliment, not a negative push. Saying you have holes to fill is the same as fixing those holes. The facts are that you guys have not really beat any amazing teams (Coney Island and Tasmania are good), and you have lost to every team you have faced with a winning record. In my eyes, that means you definatly have some issues to work on.

When I said we have holes to fill, it is not necessarily the same thing as fixing things, you fill holes you dont fix them.
Theres nothing wrong with builds/strategy/tactics etc...The problem is not having the right personnel we need. Theres nothing I can 'fix' only holes i can fill
And thanks for your 'compliment' but, we dont need the rankings to know where we stand
We are much closer to the top than our record reflects and to deny that is to be unrealistic.

No denial your team could compete come playoffs. However I'm not sure you can claim to currently be near the top of the rankings when in fact your trying to bring in hired guns to make your team better than where it stands now. Filling holes for a team just a notch away from the top of the rankings is bringing in backups to help your depth, or perhaps filling one roster position. You've currently raided a team (that's apparently disbanding) for 2 level 38 LBs and are probably going to bring in at least 5-10 more players. That's pretty much going forward with a new team. It's not a bad move to make if you can absorb the chemistry hit, however it's kind of contradictory to say your team is better than the record currently shows and then bring in several high level players to validate your point. Your record is probably right where it needs to be with your current talent. Your new talent will bring a new team and and the record going forward will potentially reflect that.

We brought in 2 players from 1 team, and its raiding lol Hired guns?

Its called recruiting: To obtain replacements for or new supplies of something lost, wasted, or needed.

By your account, every team in this league including yours is full of 'hired guns' lol stupid ass
You are the king of double-standards huh? Is that really all you got? A bunch of contradictory and hypocritical statements?

Please, do try a little harder to be an asshole next time

Seriously dude, how many times are you going to accuse everyone of double standards and hyprocritical statements. Your act is old. Your automatically assuming everyone writes to be an asshole (much like you do) when in fact some of the people on this forum can have logical adult debates. You want a mature debate, let's have at it. You want schoolyard bullshit, go find someone else. By all accounts you've stated your pulling in other players that are soon to follow the 2 you got today. I call it raided based on everyone (including some of your other teams) going after the big players on that team. What contradiction do you find?

You said your team is better than your record...okay, well then don't bring in any players and see how your record finalizes, otherwise you admit to realizing your team isn't that good right now and you need to improve.

You said your team is losing because the simulation screws you and you haven't run your gameplan. But then yet again your stating your needing to bring in players.

What is it? The simulation? Your lack of gameplanning? or is your team just not built well right now?

Recruiting is great, and if you bothered to read as opposed to just try to find some comeback you'd see that above (as I wrote..."not a bad move to make if you can absorb the chemistry hit"). The point in fact is to, in a civil manner debate the fact that your team is not as good as you think they are right now. You realize that and are recruiting some high level players, and yet you claim your record isn't indiciative of how great you are.

Of course your not going to come back with anything intelligable and are just going to spew your typical mattman bullshit, but there's a first for everything.

Yep, the douche response I expected. Your response is just indicative of the fact that you've been caught in your own B.S. and have to switch gears.

Your only winning at being a loser. I'll gladly let you believe you won, just ignore you from now on and continue the debates with everyone else. It's what you wanted right? You wanted to be at a point by seasons end to not only be the most hated person on the forums but thinking your making us lose sleep? Nah, your an act, much like Andy Kaufman was with Jerry "The King" Lawler (haha, this would be Fulchain). Too bad you guys won't go on Letterman together, it'd be funny to see him smack the shit out of you much like below:
