Rankings (Week #1)

NFLL

1. $Hail-Mary$ -- (1-0/1-0) vs. KC 131ppg
In the #1 vs #2 Hail came up big. Looks like a real good matchup in the Cane/Able bowl this week, both teams are averaging more than 130ppg.

2. Buckeyes ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. IP 125ppg
Buckeyes ended up holding on to the victory by taking care of business during the Monday night games. In what is the finest IP team we have seen in 4 years this weeks game should not be taken lightly. No time to dwell on the loss of Gonzalez.

3. IndigoPalmsSucks ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. Buckeyes 139ppg
I know its early but this team looks real good. A perfect matchup in week 2 to see if this team is for real.

4. JERU (R.I.P.) ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. GH 147ppg
In what I think is probably the highest ranking a Jeru team has had in a loooooooong time. A good score and an impressive showing in week #1 moves Jeru up from #11.

5. Blind Monkeys ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. RO 163ppg
Like Doh, Monkeys takes advantage of his matchups in week 1. Games vs. Cle, StL and Oak were still taken into consideration. This weeks game against a decent Stalker team could be huge. The following link was found on yahoo today-thought it was funny:

6. Doh! Boys ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. H8 170ppg
What the hell is the world coming too? IP, Jeru and Doh in the top 6??? Last weeks high score was a good sign that this team is ready to make some noise. But If I remember correctly he pulled off the same stunt last year, won during week 1 and then tanked. Also the matchups were in Doh’s favor during week 1. A win or a decent showing should land the kid some respect.

7. Restraining Order ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. BM 119ppg
Not the most impressive victory this week but decent production was put up by this RO squad. A solid game vs the Monkeys this week would give me a better idea where this team stands.

8. Haters ^ (1-0/1-0) vs. DB 122ppg
A long awaited victory vs the Dandies in week 1 helps a very solid Hater team. This week vs division mate Doh is going to be really tough if Doh’s production remains at the top of the charts. Haters has his work cut out for him.

9. Killa Cali ^ (0-1/0-1) vs. Hail 138PPG
A surprisingly decent game last week in the loss to Jeru. Helps KC jump from 12 to 9. Tough matchup this week in the Cane/Able Bowl vs. #1 Hail Mary.

10. Go Heels! v (0-1/0-1) vs. Jeru 113PPG
Injuries took their toll for the Heels last week but that Wayne trade turned out to be huge for the Heels. Tough matchup to land #1 during the first week. Even tougher to see # 4 in week two.

11. TrueSole v (0-1/0-1) vs. CO 111PPG
A winnable game gets away last week durning the Monday night games. Sole, last weeks #3 drops to 11 and has a decent shot to grab win #1 vs the Cocoon. Urlacher’s injury shouldn’t slow Sole down at all.

12. Cocoon of Horror ^ (0-1/0-10 VS. TS 122ppg
Cocoon meets up with Sole in what I guarantee you end up being an important game. I have a feeling the Kukini division will be an extremely close race and all of these division games will count. Cocoon holds the production advantage here but Sole’s roster is deep and is no joke.

13. The Agency ^ (0-1/0-1) vs. DD 111ppg
Out of the cellar and on the way up. This week he finds himself in a game vs Dandies which looks to be a decent matchup. Doh has already put some serious distance between the other Mowabbs so wins and point production is already very important.

14. Diaper Dandies v (0-1/0-1) vs. TA 106ppg
In the biggest let down yet, Dandies takes a tumble from 4 to 14. I know this team will have a big turnaround and we shouldn’t judge by one game. An important Mowabb matchup vs. The Agency looks like it could go either way.

15. Bengals v (0-1/0-1) vs. QS 95ppg
Point production is the biggest reason for another team with a ten point drop (#5 to 15). Im not sure if the Trojans put a damper on this kid’s whole season but you need to shake it off and get back to business. The team still has some weapons and he will not be at #15 for long.

16. QuasiMoFo’s v (0-1/0-1) vs. BG 95ppg
The 3rd team to drop 10 points this week and all the way to the bottom. If was another tough decision until I realized that he no longer had Chaz Schillens. How could I not put him at 16 since he no longer has the guy that is “a NFL team’s number 1 receiver, who also returns kicks and had a TD in each of his last two games last year”. Devastating blow to the Quasi franchise, time will only tell if he is able to recover. This week is vs. bitter rival Bengals. Oh and Merv wanted to point out that QuasiWahWah’s has taken the crybaby award away from Larry.

* * * GAME OF THE WEEK * * *
#2 Buckeyes vs. #3 IndigoPalmsSucks
In what is a big game for Kukini and IP’s first ever time being chosen for the Game of the Week. This game should set the tone for the rest of their seasons.

* * Game to keep your eye on * *
#5 Blind Monkeys vs. #6 Doh! Boys
The two big dogs in this league go head to head this week. Each team is averaging more than 160 ppg. Are the Boys for real? Was that first Monkey game a fluke?

* Game to watch simply to see who will cry the most *
#15 Bengals vs. #16 QuasiMoFo’s
Bottom two Presto’s and NFLLers meet up in what is always one of the most entertaining bouts every year. Matchup #1 will it be the Cats or the Unicorns?

Because somebody asked me to rank the divisions here is how I see them:

#1 Huarache
Four teams in the top 10, 2 of those in the top 4. With a team average of 132ppg. Plus they have 3 flasks and 5 championship appearances between them. Doubt me?
#2 Kukini
Buckeyes is ALWAYS dangerous, Sole and Cocoon compete for playoffs spots year after year and this is the best IP team there has ever been, take my word for it. Two teams in the top 5 in this weeks rankings as well.
#3 Presto
Last years champ and although it is early, in my humble opinion even though they are ranked 15 & 16, Quasi and Bengals are as dangerous as they come. After a year of learning the system, the RO seems to have it down as well. This will not be an easy division to win.
#4 Mowabb
Although it’s ranked #4 the division race should be close. I’m not fooled by Doh’s ppg in week 1. There is plenty of time and a lot of games to go.
