Finally a good matchup.
Everything else sucks.

Power Rankings

1 Houston Orangebloods 5-0-0 W7
2 Dallas Horns 5-0-0 W5
3 Texas Roughnecks 5-0-0 W5
4 H-Town Hitmen 5-0-0 W7
5 Oklahoma City Spartans 5-0-0 W26
6 Caribbean Sphere 5-0-0 W8
7 Allen Zephyrs 3-2-0 L1
8 Oklahoma Thunder 2-3-0 W2

I liked last week leaving the bottom rankings as they are in the comuter standings. I will just do the playoff rankings from this poin forward.

9 North Carolina State 1-4-0 L2
10 Round Rock 12th Man 1-4-0 W1
11 Rockford Wrecking Crew 1-4-0 L4
12 Texas Tornado 1-4-0 L3
13 Omaha Mavericks 1-4-0 L4
14 Austin Longhorns 0-5-0 L5
15 Austin Powers 0-5-0 L5
16 San Francisco Stonecutters 0-5-0 L5

The Matchups

Omaha Mavericks vs. #3 Texas Roughnecks
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=765&team2=776
Traditionaly a solid game. Not any more. Roughnecks will breeze through this game like it was not even scheduled. Omaha does not have an offense or a defense to speak of. There are a few nice players, but that is about it. lil Tex is too strong..
Texas 44-6 35-10 hmmm...

Dallas Horns vs. Oklahoma City Spartans
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=774&team2=1276
Our first blockbuster game of the year. The winner is in fine position as a top power. The loser will still be strong, but take a major hit in positioning for the gold.
both teams have powerfull offenses and staggering defenses. This game should come down to coaching and the sim. I am going with the know commmodity here with the Horns grabbing a tough one. not a true upset alert, but the Horns are ranked higher in the standings. 8/10 is the upset rating.
Dallas Horns 17-12 38-17Dallas is definately running on all 6.

Rockford Wrecking Crew vs. Houston Orangebloods
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=112&team2=762
Are you freaking serious? Bort should give back a partial refund for opening schedules like this. Orangebloods roll, and the game aint worth talking about. Upset near impossible. 1/33.33333333333333333
OBs 55-3 56-14

Allen Zephyrs vs. Texas Tornado
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=739&team2=1242
A good measuring stick for Allen. If they can win, they intrench themselves in the playoff hunt. An upset can happen 6/10. There appears to be a little gamesman ship from Tornado taking folks off the starting lineup.
Allen 27-13 45-7right on victor, way off on score.

Austin Powers vs. Caribbean Sphere
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=766&team2=768
Another refund game. Look for Iowa Jones to hog Yards and touchdowns to attempt to win the rushing tittle.
Sphere 133-0 174-0no big deal.

Austin Longhorns vs. North Carolina State
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=770&team2=764
Should be a decent game. Jimmy Turner is back, State does not have an answer. State cant pass on Austin, so look for them to grind the game to a complete halt and hope for the best.
Austin wins 27-17 38-17not bad.

San Francisco Stonecutters vs. H-Town Hitmen
San Francisco Stonecutters vs. H-Town Hitmen
Murder and Mayhem! A refund please?
H-town 140-0 163-0lol

Round Rock 12th Man vs. Oklahoma Thunder
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=1318&team2=1275
One of the better matchups of the week. We all know I like defense, so I have the Thunder in the game. Upset Moderate 5/10
24-9
12-55 right on.

nice recap buddy....particularly like the upset ratings

Horns and Spartans should be a classic. Old guard versus new guard. I think the Horns are a bit better but I wouldn't mind seeing the Horns take a morale hit just before the Sphere game.

This is going to be a fun game tonight. It will really let us know where we stand in USA A#1. Good luck Dallas!

State / Longhorns should be interesting. With 100 morale I know we'd win this game, but now I'm unsure.

What the heck are the Texas Tornado doing ?

They just don't have the defensive depth chart set.

I would be surprised if he gave up on his team. He really wants to win and is still trying to build his team.

These next 4 games will give us some real insight on how the Thunder, Round Rock, Omaha, Allen & Austin should end up.

As it stands now, those 5 teams are fighting for 2 playoff spots.

Omaha & Austin both have had a pretty vicious schedule to start the season. We'll both be moving on up.

WRONG. Depth chart is just empty. Do your homework ; )
They're being secretive I suppose....

You can remove the Thunder from that list. They are a playoff team.

keep counting us out... just keep counting us out

You are giving us more motivation. I have been loving you guys continue to knock us out of the picture..

As for why the defensive depth chart is empty.. I will not discuss that issue as it is a team issue.

If they sweep through Round Rock, Omaha & us, then I will.

I don't know if we can beat Omaha THAT badly. . . . appreciate the vote of confidence though.

After that Austin game I'm a little unsure just what we have defensively.

I would like to know why Sphere is still number 6?

Just how are you getting 6? The only team the Roughnecks have on us is the the Thunder, and they are third. We held Austin and Round Rock to fewer points than Houston and the Roughnecks...

So I am sure the reason we are 6th is to get me to post this, but come on.
