Number 1 for the entire season, the Atlanta Hitmen will move on to USA AA #4 unless they pull a Patriot. In the East, the top 8 teams have clinched a playoff berth with the last two weeks deciding seeding. The loser of the Washington/Bowdoin "trying to avoid relegation" bowl will determine who is relegated down to USA BBB with the rebuilding Skull Crushers.

In the West, 11 teams are in contention for 8 spots. Wins by Florida, Pheonix, and Seattle over the next two weeks put a damper on several teams playoff hopes...but all three of those teams have run hot and cold all year...so maybe there is some hope for Austin, LA, and Orlando. Most likely the Black Sox and Tulsa will be relegated.

Looking ahead to next Season in the BBB Leagues, the Rapid City Rushmores and the Lima Lemurs are battling it out to come up into the Western Conference while the New Brunswick Scarlet Knights and the New York Strikers will duel for rights to move up in the East.

Its been a great season so far, and I am looking forward to another set of crazy upsets in the playoffs. Go Psychotic Smilies!

For Comparrison, here are the power rankings from the end of last season. The Biggest fall was of the gutted Chesapeake Roadrunners, the Washington WarDogs, and the Nashville Longshots. The biggest improvements came from the Waller Knights, Rhode Island Wolves, and the Destin Pigskin Pimps.

Looking at the teams that moved up last year, Indy is holding their own with the 10-4 record and a chance of hosting a home playoff game while the Bloomington Rhinos have fallen on hard times with a 5-9 record. Of the relegated teams, The New Jersey Nighthawks are 9-5 and poised to make the playoffs while the other 3 teams have changed names and/or owners.

Thanks for the rankings though!

Those rankings were from before the playoffs because Waller and Da Nola Bra both lost their conf final games to the Gurupies and Rhinos for promotion so they would have perhaps been ranked a bit higher at seasons end?

Expect the new brunswick knights to come here and turn some heads. They are one hell of a team built totally by rutgers fans! I for one will welcome them with arms open since they are the team we beat to make it here Blood will be drawn

Hey...should we still be here next season....I think it will be a ton of fun...A#8 has a bunch of AWSOME owners/players...and with the new strategy taking place in the form of advanced tactics...we can really start forming game plans against each other...I have a strong feeling there are some really football savy guys in A#8, so the gameplans will start to dictate performance...equally as important as to the players builds....

Not to harp on Altanta...(Im not), but I think they would be much closer to alot of us...if we had the advanced tatics available this year...thats where having 4 or 5 solid GM's starts to become a huge strength...

Wow, I forgot how bad we were last year. Went from 27th(Omaha Express) to 9th(Putnam Co. Keg Tossers). We got to be the most improved team. Hopefully we can keep on improving. I also hope we can secure a home game in the playoffs today against a solid Florida team.

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs and to teams fighting for a playoff spot!
