Power Rankings
As conference play ends we move to inter conference matchups tonight as power rankings return
1. Green Gremlins,
the only undefeated team left remains at one
2. Jungle Fever,
Another two good wins for Jungle Fever, a team with good trainees and using the finances to fill in the gaps of the roster, does that story ring a bell? I should that is almost exactly what I did last season, the scary part is Jungle Fever seems better at it than me!
3. Pittsburgh Pressure,
the good news I won two games by a combined 177 pts, the bad news I wasted some enthusiasm
4. Galloping Sloths,
a loss to Illiniwek but a win vs the Rebellion this week, enough to move you up
5. Souljas,
the Souljas themselves told us to watch out, I am starting to believe him now after beating the Rebellion and Illiniwek
6. Beachlife,
1-1 this week after losing to Jungle Fever, could be better, could be worse
7. Boilers25,
another surprise team, they to lost to Jungle but beat the Rebels
8. Illiniwek,
two tough games with a win against the Sloths not the end of the world

9. West Side Tigers,
the tigers held serve as they beat Retired but lost to the Gremlins
10. Boom is Art,
struggling last week they barely beat Monkeykid and got torched by Pittsburgh
11. SM Lizards,
speaking of a team torched by Pittsburgh, SM lost by 91 to them but at least they beat Monkeykid better.
12. Righteous Rebellion,
two losses to the Souljas and rebellion move to #12
13. Monkeykid,
a team who has decided to tank now and two losses keep you down at the bottom- ish
14. Lion Rebels,
two losses as well and only 1 of 2 winless teams.
15. Retired,
1-1 this week for retired against the tigers(loss) and a win vs Red Bull
16. Red Bull Lakers,
speaking of Red Bull two losses one of them against the previous 16 makes you the new 16

Sloths definitely too high, with the loss of Staudacher. Only just brought on a replacement, but at 60% of the salary, how much of a replacement can he be? Enough, I hope.

After a loss to Jungle now a big win against the Gremlins. Alright alright.

A win! Finally a bloody win!

9. Souljas,
the Souljas lost to Boom is Art and Pittsburgh in blowout losses
10. Boilers25,
two bad losses this week for boilers losing to retired and West Side
11. SM Lizards,
the Lizards cannot seem to get it going offensively this season two losses where they scored 70 or less
12. Monkeykid,
Monkeykid did well to beat the Rebellion this week, no say can say they aren’t trying
13. Righteous Rebellion,
losses to Monkeykid and Boom is Art this week, they look to upset Pittsburgh again tonight
14. Lion Rebels,
although the Rebels finally won by beating West Side, one win is not enough to move you up
15. Retired,
like the Rebels, Retired beat Boilers25 but couldn’t move up in the rankings
16. Red Bull Lakers,
2 losses for the Lakers keep them at the bottom.

As power rankings return today, I posted the 9-16 first so the top will appear first in the form, so let’s begin with the top now,
1. Jungle Fever,
two wins against easy opponents this week, and a new #1 ranking
2. Pittsburgh Pressure,
similar to Jungle Fever, two wins for the Pressure. We look to avoid another upset against the Rebellion tonight
3. Green Gremlins,
the Gremlins lost to Beachlife, but rebounded against SM
4. Beachlife,
what a week for Beachlife, beating the previous number 1 and destroying Red Bull Lakers.
5. Galloping Sloths,
the Sloths might be in sell off mode, but they continue to win and remain in the top half
6. Illiniwek,
A tough week for Illiniwek, a loss to Pittsburgh, and barely squeaked past Lion Rebels
7. West Side Tigers,
A blowout loss to the Rebels is bad, but they performed better against Boilers25
8. Boom is Art,
Two blowout wins this week against the Rebellion and Souljas

We are gonna plummet now...
