1. Edinburgh Black Knights (7-0) (Last: 1 Best: 1)
The Knights were hoping for a more impressive win, but perhaps underestimated the Cock Fighters a bit. Milan has played above their level all season.
2. Glasgow Tigers (6-1) (Last: 3 Best: 2)
Had a more balanced approach to South Beach, and the running game really came alive in the second half.
3. Trillville Hoods (5-2) (Last: 6 Best: 3)
Beat the crap out of a despondent Chaos Engine behind the rushing of Brian “The Wizard” Westbrooks 255 yards and 4 TD’s.
4. Icelandic Vikings (5-2) (Last: 2 Best: 2)
It’s tempting to blame 4 interceptions for their loss to the Griffs. Schiffertown only scored 3 points off those interceptions, but they won by 3.
5. Tilburg Power (5-2) (Last: 7 Best: 5)
Averaging a stunning 6.5 yards/carry over the course of their 5-game winning streak. Can they keep it going against the #1 team in the conference?
6. Milan Cock Fighters (4-2-1) (Last: 4 Best: 4)
Their first loss since opening day was to Edinburgh. Aside from a tie against the Universe, they’ve played stand-up football all season long.
7. Bonn Jovi (4-3) (Last: 5 Best: 3)
Patriot4444 stole my pun for the week, so suffice to say that turnovers killed them. Conference punching bag Chaos Engine is up next.
8. Schiffertown Griffins (4-3) (Last: 9 Best: 2)
The Griffins look to have righted the ship. I still expect to see them in the playoffs, but the seed they get is up to them.
9. Middlesbrough Mayhem (4-3) (Last: 10 Best: 5)
Rebounded against a free-falling Oakton team with a very balanced attack. Still in the playoff hunt, and aside from a few very tough games, their schedule gets easier from here on out.
10. Frankfurt Universe (3-3-1) (Last: 8 Best: 6)
Really struggled to complete passes against the Power. Just passed the mid-point of their toughest stretch of the season, and haven’t won in 4 games.
11. Belfast Shamrocks (3-4) (Last: 12 Best: 11)
I see no reason they can’t compete for a playoff spot. They’ve won 3 of their last 4, but the next three teams they face are all currently ranked in the top 6. 1-2 would be a good split, but I know they’re shooting for better.
12. Jamaica Rumrunners (2-5) (Last: 13 Best: 12)
Notched another win, and have two very tough games ahead of them. For the most part, though, the worst is behind them.
13. Oakton Huskies (2-5) (Last: 11 Best: 3)
Two teams I never thought I’d see this low in the rankings are Oakton and Chaos. Just shows how much better this league has gotten since last year.
14. South Beach Sharks (1-6) (Last: 14 Best: 13)
Played Glasgow really tough, and went into halftime up 24-13. I think they just ran out of gas.
15. Chaos Engine (0-7) (Last: 15 Best: 11)
Their starting ROLB is a founding father of the KKK. Excuse me if I don’t feel bad about their current predicament.
16. Las Vegas Lunatics (0-7) (Last: 16 Best: 16)
Still have zero depth, but their starting lineup looks like they could compete with most teams in this conference.
