Ok, i was halfway through typing this and it wiped so i'm kinda pissed but i'll redo it just with a little less detail.

1. Transylvania Bloodsuckers (2)
-- Beating the team that many considered unbeatable is the sure fire way to get promoted to #1. This team is rock solid and as shown has the ability to beat any team on any week.

2. South Yorkshire Star (1)
-- SoYo has been brought down a bit after a surprising loss but this is not a team to roll over and complain. They will not lose again in the regular season and will be a deadly force in the playoffs.

3. Antwerp Jewish Diamond Dealers (3)
-- There is no doubt who's the top dog in Zeta. Enjoy seeing this team while you can because they will not be in W.E.A next season if they continue to play like this.

4. Warsaw Knuckleheads (4)
-- A serious contender in Alpha, this team is geared to do some damage in the playoffs. However prior to that they have 3 tough games ahead of them with playoff contenders so soon we'll know just how tough they are really gonna be.

5. Amsterdam Smugglers (7)
-- They took the Kohona Hokages to the woodshed this last week and proved that they are going to be a big time player in Zeta. The top contender to the conference championship will have a tough game against Athens coming up but other than that they are on cruise control.

6. Basin City Blues (6)
-- This team has 3 losses, all to teams in the top 4 rankings. This power offense is still a major player in this league and will continue to wreak havoc on any opposing defense (I speak from experience).

7. Quebec Colored Trombones (5)
-- They took a game against Antwerp and made it a lot closer in the end than it should've been. I'm not sure what to make of that though. They were almost doubled up in yards but were just 1 score away from winning. Either way, it's a loss that they should have a chance to avenge in the playoffs.

8. Belfast Mafia (NR)
-- A nice win over Grim shows that they are back in the picture. They have the hardest remaining schedule in the league as they play 3 more top ten teams including 2 or the top 3. We're about to find out how good Belfast can really be.

9. Dublin Drunken Monkeys (10)
-- They have a monster schedule with 4 lethal games remaining. They will have a chance to prove themselves for real and shoot up the rankings, or they will falter and fade away. This team is for real and we'll find that out soon.

10. Athens Gators (NR)
-- The darkhorse of Zeta. This team has won some games it might shouldn't have and lost some games it might shouldn't have. With the offensive weapons they have it'd be foolish to overlook this team any longer. Watch out whoever gets them in round 1 of the playoffs.

Dropped out: Kohona Hokages (8) and Amsterdam Arctic Blast (9)

Kohona was waxed this previous game and that shouldn't happen to a 9-1 team. Amsterdam has me so frustrated. They should be at the top of the standings and instead they are struggling to defeat teams at the bottom of the rankings. I'm just at a loss...

Just missed: Kohona, Amsterdam, St. Louis, Hamburg, Cardiff

Here we go, what do yall think?

Folks we're (Antwerp) are just like the 85 bears. We needed that loss to Amsterdam to get our minds right and we aren't turning back. I vow to avenge that loss come playoffs and continue to fulfil the goal our team had set from day 1 and that's being in WE AA next season.

As for Quebec - talented team that has the potential to beat anyone in the league if we meet in the playoffs you won't be overlooked and we know we'd be in for a dog fight...bring ya lunch pails it's gonna be a long day and we ain't taken no one lightly...

We (Arctic Blast) can't find a way to get rid of the turnovers. We try to find a way to keep teams we should crush in it, and games that should be close we lose. Look at the SoYo game. If we don't turn the ball over 6 times, there's a 34-point swing there.

Yall are killing me bro. I look at your team and I can't imagine how they aren't doing better. When it clicks though it's really gonna click.

Tiz has already transmitted my sentiment but I'll throw something on the thread anyway. Quebec played a great game, their offense was unstoppable in the fourth quarter. We had that game in the bag and they battled back. Hell of a game, hell of a team, can't wait to see them again in the playoffs. But most of all I can't wait to get another piece of those damn Smugglers. I'm going to have someone break Marshawn Jackson's legs too. He's one of only two backs to get 100 yards on us (the other being Dontu Blink of Newcastle whom I forgive because we beat his team) and I cannot wait for the chance to redress that defensive failure.

Statement like that really are the most naive thing people can say. Acting as though the defense has nothing to do with those turnovers is a bit extreme.

I mean, hell, if we would've hit 10 more TD passes that could've been a 70-point swing! And if we would've returned every one of your passes for a pick 6? That would've been a 476-point swing!

It's fine to be upset at turnovers by your team... but come on. Don't be like that.

I'm not sayin your D didn't have anything to do with it, but we are also giving up turnovers to teams with defenses not as good as yours. The fact that you guys have one of if not the best D just helped it along. You guys probably still would have won that game, but I am saying that those turnovers directly resulted in a 34 point swing, which turned the game from a good one into a blowout.

Only respect for you guys from us. Very impressive squad, and I agree that athens should be up on the list. Playoffs are going to be interesting.

We beat the Parrots but lost to Kohona (by a FG on the 1 yard line missed ) were making the playoffs!

Not that we are over looking anyone... But yes. Our schedule is pretty brutal.
