Going to be short and sweet since I missed a few games. Happy belated Labor Day to everyone. Hope you got your grill on and drowned all that yummy food in much beer and Jack Daniels.
Lion
Axis (9-0) - There's a new top dog in town and I don't see many challengers left on the schedule.
TAP (8-1) - Big collapse against Axis but bounced back quickly.
Windhoek (7-2) - Only losses came against top 2 ranked teams by a combined 14 points. I know now what's been missing though. Steve, Rhinos suck and will NOT win another game this season.
Sahara (9-0) - Still impressed. Still haven't played any teams ranked above them. That changes next week so we'll see how impressed I am with them after that. Think this is a solid 4/5 seed but not sure if they'll rise higher.
Uganda (8-1) - Been a solid season with their lone loss coming against Sahara. Still have to face the other top teams so not out of the woods yet.
Cult (7-2) - Played Rhinos well defensively but it took them 55 minutes to score. Still have 4 tough games left to get that offense corrected.
RnR (6-3) - Rocked by TAP but things will get rolling against Texas next week.
Yaksmen (4-5) - 3 game win streak has them pointed in the right direction and the win over Austin gives them a head to head tiebreaker. Will have to play at their peak with a slightly tougher schedule than Austin remaining though.
Austin (4-5) - Tough road ahead but I see 4 winnable games to put them at 8-8. Postseason berth could come down to week 16 against Cult (the good Cult at that).
Average Joe's (3-6) - Living up to their name again as I see an 8-8 finish in the making.
CWE (3-6) - There won't be any stomping in the playoffs this season.
Texas (2-7)
-Cult- (2-7)
Boston (1-8)
Free-Lancer Army (0-9)
Pottsville (0-9)
Elephant
BSS (9-0) - Turn off the AIs boys. 16-0 around the corner.
Philly (8-1) - Last second FG to take down Asmara. Lights out D in the final 2 minutes against the Pirates to force a 3 & out and seal the win. Franklins showing why they went into the season as a top contender with two very narrow wins.
Republic (7-2) - Benin dominated Asmara and next week looks to be a great match up with the Pirates. Going out on a limb and just going to go ahead and move Benin up.
Spring Hill (7-2) - I can't remember the last time SHP has looked this good and the playoffs are looking pretty exciting and unpredictable...at least in Ele.
ICB (7-2) - Next 5 weeks will be pivotal for playoff seeding with all 5 games against playoff teams.
Rwanda (6-3) - While the Pirates have never looked better, the flipside is Rwanda. Are they bad? No. Is their playoff spot in jeopardy? Probably not. But they sure have looked better in the past.
Asmara (3-6) - 4 game losing streak and things are getting out of hand in Asmara. The bright side? After ICB this squad SHOULD go on a 6 game win streak. If not they could very well be sitting on the couch come playoff time.
AquaBats (8-1) - Up against their first real opponent this season the Bats fell flat. They get to rest up next week before going on a 6 game voyage against 6 playoff teams. Worst case scenario now is a 9-7 finish. I expect the worst.
Voodoo (4-5) - 3 game win streak but I only see an 8-8 finish in the cards.
Steiner (6-3) - Like the Bats this team still has 6 games coming against top teams so a 7-9 finish is my prediction.
OffTopica (2-7)
Vol Nation (2-7)
SoA (0-9) - There's always next season.
Kirkland (2-7)
Kenosha (0-9)
The South Rangers (0-9)
