Amsterdam Space Cakes @ Toowoomba Terrapins
As you look around after week 1, there are very few teams that can hold their heads up as the dust clears. However, ASC & TT are a couple of those teams. Both have strong statistical rankings, granted a lot of the rankings are skewed because of the quality of competition. This'll be a serious test this week for both teams, as to where they stand within the league. It's hard to believe in week 1 that this game could be a deciding factor in the playoff seedings already but the reality is, with the quality of conference Alpha has, it is just that. Every game at this point is that much more important. Either team could easily walk away with a win and this one should be lights out.
A7 Nation Army @ Orlando Prime Timers
A7 displayed their dominance in week 1. OPT took a hit against Australia in week 1. Now is their chance to make a rebound but it won't be easy. A7 dominated a team that quite frankly, probably isn't ready for the upper echelon of this league and OPT was dominated by the favorite to win it all. It's gut check time for OPT, if A7 comes out strong and 2-0, I honestly can't say anyone would be surprised.
Australia Surfin' Smurfs @ Fiji Flying Foxes
This is one of those 'top up hopeful thinkers of the week' type of games. Australia remains the favorite to dominate the week. Fiji has a high potential team with a lot of solid talent. However they may have their backs against the wall this week. Australia absolutely dominated OPT in week 1 and there's little doubt they'll be looking to do that again, they already know they're a playoff team, so right now it's about sustaining that presence until the playoffs get here for them. For Fiji, they need to fire on all cylinders, hope for some luck, and maybe come up with a huge upset.
Oceania AA #3 'Tostito-Goal' Game of the Week
Wililamsport Soul Reavers @ Carolina Cardiac Cats
WSR after facing a completely A PeeWee level team in week 1 is 'defaultly' ranked #1 in several categories. Week 2, not going to be nearly as easy. 3C might be the 2nd best team in the league and in week 2, against WSR they plan to prove it. WSR is no stranger to to many of the individuals that dwell within OAA2. Their track record speaks for itself but the past is the past and it's not going to help take down the beast that is 3C. Week 2, WSR is going to have to prove that they belong and as a probable playoff team (considering the -8 talent in the league) they're going to have to prove that they can stand tall against the likes of 3C and those yet to come.
