it is getting close to playoff time, so this is the format i am going to use for each week for the rest of the season.
projected wins in bold, projected losses in italics
i will no longer be doing "power rankings" as those are based on how good a team is doing based on the season so far and how good they are playing at the given time. these rankings will be based on projected seeding, taking tiebreakers into account.

Thoughts: I think Denver could deserve to be "on the bubble" with some of those teams, but I think their playoff hopes are so nil unless they make some fast moves that it isn't worth it. Top 8 in Alpha aren't going anywhere, those teams can start spending their playoff bonus money. My money is on Birmingham and Palermo locking down playoff berths soon, with Stockholm's going down to the wire.
