Okay here are the rankings after game 13. Here is what I went by in no particular order:
1) Record or win/loss
2) Strength of roster
3) Strength of wins/losses
You may or may not agree with them, but this is how I see them. LW is last weeks ranking.
****ZETA POWER RANKINGS****
* = Play Off spot clinched
*#1 Macedonia Trojans (11-2) LW 3 - The Devils? The Trojans are playing the Devils? Can a team get an easier ride to the playoffs?
Next opponent: #15 Transatlantic Devils (2-11)
*#2 Knossos Minotaurs (11-2) LW 4 - How the hell did the #1 and #2 teams get so lucky this late in the regular season to where they are playing such cream puffs?!
Enjoying the vacation Minnies?
Next opponent: #16 Warsaw Mafia (0-13)
*#3 Short Bus All-Stars (11-2) LW 5 - Short Bus has three games left and all are against playoff bound teams. They will make the post season, forsure. But it will be tough to stay in the Top 4 to the end of the season.
Next opponent: at #8 Pirgos Warlords (8-5)
*#4 Banja Luka Funky Bunch (11-2) LW 6 - Stealing a 27-20 OT win from the reeling Hell Hounds, the Funky Bunch can't be too relaxed with the J.T.'s up next. Vancouver is still a formidable team that can steal a win from you if you aren't too careful.
Next opponent: #10 Vancouver Jive Turkeys (5-8)
*#5 Wroclaw Mambas (10-3) LW 2 - The Mambas drop to #5 after a 1 point loss to Short Bus. With the Greek Gods and ROF both up next, I don't see them dropping any further.
Next opponent: #13 Greek Gods (3-10)
*#6 Istanbul Hell Hounds (9-4) LW 1 - The Gods and Devils are a welcome sight for the Hell Hounds, who are on a four game losing streak. This losing streak could all just be a clever ruse on Istanbul's part. Either way, they should get two wins in a row.
Next opponent: at #9 The Gods (6-7)
#7 Luzitian Dynasty (8-5) LW 7 - A 9-10 loss to the Trojans keeps the Dynasty on the edge. The Boracs and bandits are up next and if they can win both then that should be enough to earn a tri[p to the playoffs.
Next opponent: at #11 Banja Luka Boracs (4-9)
#8 Pirgos Warlords (8-5) LW 8 - If the Warlords can steal a win against Short Bus, that should be enough to claim a post season berth. And with ROF and Greek Gods following, it is almost assured.
Next opponent: #3 Short Bus All-Stars (11-2)
#9 The Gods (6-7) LW 9 - The Gods snapped thast five game losing streak with a win over the Transatlantic Devils, 105-3. Just in time too, because the sliding Hell Hounds are up next.
Next opponent: #6 Istanbul Hell Hounds (9-4)
#10 Vancouver Jive Turkeys (5-8) LW 10 - The J.T.'s can still pick up a couple wins and maybe play spoiler. Time to ease on down the road to Banja Luka and take on the Funky Bunch next.
Next opponent: at #4 Banja Luka Funky Bunch (11-2)
#11 Banja Luka Boracs (4-9) LW 12 - A Borac is a fighter or warrior. So it's time for the Warriors to come out to play. Taking on the Dynasty next.

Next opponent: #7 Luzitian Dynasty (8-5)
#12 Las Vegas Bandits (3-10) LW 14 - Can the Bandits pick up a fourth win before the season ends? They sure as hell will try to with ROF up next.
Next opponent: #14 Renegades of Funk (2-11)
#13 Greek Gods (3-10) LW 11 - The Greek Gods are offering up wins to the final three teams they play. Those teams will get wins against the Greek Gods like it is to get my ex-wife in the sack.................................easy. That heartless bitch!
Next opponent: at #5 Wroclaw Mambas (10-3)
#14 Renegades of Funk (2-11) LW 13 - Well ROF, it's do or die this time. The Bandits are up next and this could be your last chance at a win.
Your last chance to believe in yourself. Your last chance to be good to yourself...................

Next opponent: at #12 Las Vegas Bandits (3-10)
#15 Transatlantic Devils (2-11) LW 15 - Three games left and these bad ass CPU's are going out with 2 wins under their belts.
I'm going to miss those crazy mechanical bastards. *sniff* *tear*
Next opponent: at #1 Macedonia Trojans (11-2)
#16 Warsaw Mafia (0-13) LW 16 - When these guys get up to level they will really be kicking some ass.............................aw who am I kidding?! Mafia gets a boot to the ass down to BBB! But we will make it a nice beer boot

Next opponent: at #2 Knossos Minotaurs (11-2)

Overall: 68-12
GOW: - 5-5
#3 Short Bus All-Stars (11-2) at #8 Pirgos Warlords (8-5) = Short Bus All-Stars - The only great match up in Zeta this time. Should be close, but take the Short Bus.
Game Rating: 6/6 beers
#7 Luzitian Dynasty (8-5) at #11 Banja Luka Boracs (4-9) = Luzitian Dynasty - A win here and the Dynasty are in!
Game Rating: 2/6 beers
#10 Vancouver Jive Turkeys (5-8) at #4 Banja Luka Funky Bunch (11-2) = Banja Luka Funky Bunch - Funky Bunch taking on the Jive Turkeys. This sounds like a street fight between old 70's street gangs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahD-AlJy3nA
That's all it takes to start a gang war in 1970's New York. You get some guys walking around in dance pants and prancing around with some really mean finger snapping and...........BOOM!!! It's WW3!
Take the Funky Bunch.
Game Rating: 3/6 beers
#6 Istanbul Hell Hounds (9-4) at #9 The Gods (6-7) = Istanbul Hell Hounds - The Gods vs the Hounds of hell! It's Armageddon again!! Here is where the Hell Hounds get off the losing streak.
Game Rating: 3/6 beers
#13 Greek Gods (3-10) at #5 Wroclaw Mambas (10-3) = Wroclaw Mambas - Here's a welcome win for the Mambas.
Game Rating: 1/6 beers
#14 Renegades of Funk (2-11) at #12 Las Vegas Bandits (3-10) = Las Vegas Bandits - Well I thought long and hard over this one. Taking into consideration both teams strengths and weaknesses. Offense and defense. Players, ratings, strategies and match up ratings. And I came to the only possible conclusion....................................these two teams stink. I mean bad, like a donkey stall and sour milk smell kind of stink.
But somebody has to win..................................or do they. They could always tie.
Game Rating: 1/6 beers
#15 Transatlantic Devils (2-11) at #1 Macedonia Trojans (11-2) = Macedonia Trojans - Another really bad match up. Enjoy your 12th win Trojans.
Game Rating: 1/6 beers
#16 Warsaw Mafia (0-13) at #2 Knossos Minotaurs (11-2) = Knossos Minotaurs - You know the outcome!
Game Rating: 1/6 beers
*Game Of The Week*
#3 Short Bus All-Stars (11-2) at #8 Pirgos Warlords (8-5) - Short Bus needs a win to cash in on play off home game $$$$! Pirgos needs the win to make the play offs! These two teams will keep fighting until one of them pukes! Just like Nicole Ritchie!
First team that blows chunks, loses!
18/48 beers! Oh crap!! Make your way through the multitude of crappy match ups and reserve your liver for the GOW. The only game worth watching this time. Try and enjoy the games Tuesday AM.
Good luck to all the teams in Zeta Conference!
1) Record or win/loss
2) Strength of roster
3) Strength of wins/losses
