1. Weapons of Mass Dotstruction 7-0
EL 1440
Players: 55
UPDATE: WoMD 4 million... Gridiron DOGS nothing. Dots keep on rolling
2. Tyrrhenian Sea Wasps 6-1
EL 1375
Players: 55
UPDATE: The Wasps squeaked out a 167-point victory this week.
3. Stewart Ballers 6-1
EL 1406
Players: 55
UPDATE: The Ballers went in balls deep into the Membrane of Wu Dang. An easy win.
4. Mayan Warriors 4-3
EL 1440
Players: 55
UPDATE: It was not an impressive, memorable victory but the Warriors squeaked out a 15-13 defensive slugfest against a determined Bears team. 5 field goals and a 4th quarterback interception deep in the Warriors territory won the game. The tough, but owner-less Glass squad is up next for Mayan.
5. Svalbard Bears 5-2
EL 1413
Players: 55
UPDATE: The Bears promised to bring it against the Warriors and boy did they. The Warriors offensive attack was shut down as was the Bears and defenses ruled the day. A last second field goal by the Warriors may have saved their disappointing season so far. Bears will be 6-2 heading into the Wasps game.
6. Crackertown Oregon 5-2
EL 1398
Players: 50
UPDATE: WTF Happened here? Really? I am completely torn as to how to rank the Crackers after an embarrassing 45 to 0 loss at home to the Sioux. The Crackers help Mayan to only 10 points but were lit up big time this week. This league is getting very interesting and at the half way point, maybe there are not guarantees that the Crackers make the playoffs.
On the Cusp of Playoffs
7. East Lawrence Eagles 5-2
EL 1395 few more boosts to go
Players: 55
UPDATE: I am officially stumped 6th through 9th here now so created a new category for these four teams. The Eagles were easily handled by Warriors and Wasps but crushed the Sioux. However the Sioux just wiped Crackers off the Dot ball map and it appears the last couple of spots are up for grabs in a fun second half of the season. The Eagles have three brutal games in a row coming up now so we will see if pretenders or contenders.
8. University North Dakota Fighting Sioux 3-4
EL 1375
Players: 55
UPDATE: I am typing this while eating a giant plate of crow after writing off this squad just a week ago. I am not even sure what to type here after the Sioux tomahawked the Crackers all over the field in a shit-kicking of a win. Now 3-4 on the season, the Sioux have catapulted themselves back into the playoff picture and it appears the Warriors and others got screwed by playing this team at the end of the season rather than the beginning. Good win guy! ! !
9. Glass Tiger Thundercats 4-3
EL 1317
Players: 55 (inactive owner)
UPDATE: Huge game against the Warriors this week. Same game plan week after week has not derailed them and they have been in every game this season. Giving up less than 10 points a season on cruise control is pretty damn impressive.
9. Margaritaville Rum Pirates 3-4
EL 1260
Players: 55
UPDATE: This team will remain in the playoff picture with the other three teams here. I sense the Pirates are a step behind the other teams and will miss the playoffs. Big tilts with the Sioux (week 10) and Eagles (week 12) may decide their fate.

Easy victories for the top ten teams. Nothing to see here.
...
NOTE: This league is getting bloody interesting. Some of the crazy scores so far illustrates how any of the top ten teams are capable of winning in any given week. Going to be a battle to make the playoffs out of that group.
