NFLL POWER RANKINGS (week 11)

NFLL
OK first to answer all the questions about division/conference champs. We follow the yahoo method. Which goes by overall Record, then wins vs. Division, and then points. Its not a perfect system but that is how yahoo scores them. So you can outright win your division and win a top 4 seed by having the best record. So a division with a 7-6 team that is 0-6 in division games CAN STILL win its division if no other team has 7 or more wins. There are good examples on the board now, where Hail is leading Huarache by record(has less division wins) and IP is leading by division wins (record is tied).
Only 2 teams are out of the playoffs and some teams have a tougher road then most. Only Munkees and Dandies have locked up a spot because of their division titles. The remaining 6 spots are still up for grabs. The contenders are HM,IP,TS and BE. Your bubble teams are KC,JR,RO and CO. The SOS teams are TA, DB and H8. Please remember even if it seems you are all but out, the way you finish the season has more implications than what just happens to you. PLAY TO WIN!

1. Blind Monkeys (10-1/6-0) vs. HM 153 ppg
The Presto champ still looking like the team to beat, has officially clinched the #1 seed. Tough matchup this week vs. Hail. Can’t help but notice that 1 loss on the record…wonder who blemished that perfect season?

2. IndigoPalmsSucks (7-4/4-2) vs. DD 130 ppg
The best IP team to date. #4 in the seeding and the leading team to take the Kukini division. 6 wins in a row is no easy feat. Good work DK.

3. Diaper Dandies (7-4/4-2) vs. IP 136 ppg
The Mowabb division champ looking to put up some more points and hold on to that #2 seed. 1 more win would be a big step in accomplishing that but this week’s matchup vs. IP could be a little difficult.

4. TrueSole (7-4/3-3) vs. H8 131 PPG
In good shape to make a move on the Kukini crown, schedule is extremely favorable as well.

5. $Hail-Mary$ (7-4/3-3) vs. BM 131 ppg
Just clinging to the huarache lead, Hail needs a big win to hold off Cali and Jeru, and not to mention some bubble teams right behind him. This weeks draw vs. Monkeys isn’t gonna make it any easier.

6. Buckeyes (7-4/3-3) vs. TA 126 ppg
Solid record keeps him in the hunt for the Kukini crown, only about 60 points back from Sole. Agency is looking to spoil Buckeyes chances and earn a playoff birth himself.

7. JERU (R.I.P.) (6-5/4-2) vs. BG 128 ppg
A team that was ranked as high as #2 has fallen to 7 in the rankings, and is currently holding the fickle 8 seed. Nobody has a bigger target on their backs then Jeru right now. No room for error this week.

8. KILLA CALI (6-5/4-2) vs. BYE 132 ppg
The bye week drama starts playing a big role as the playoff race heats up.

9. Restraining Order (6-5/3-3) vs. GH 121 ppg
Still in the thick of things, a 2 game win streak couldn’t have come at a better time. Looking for any of the top seeds to slip up so he can slide into the top 8.

10. Cocoon of Horror (5-6/2-4) vs. DB 116 ppg
Cocoon in better shape then cellar dwellers with a one game advantage . Great matchup this week vs Doh. Although there are some crazy scenarios out there, Cocoon will ultimately decide his own fate. Winning out the season would definitely help him the most.

11. The Agency (4-7/1-5) vs. BE 124 ppg
Definitely not out yet but he is an S.O.S. team. He needs help or rescue in a big way and still needs to win out. Tough to say what will happen,needs DB lose and stay ahead of him but that win would help CO. DB also has a bye in week 13, so TA needs to stay ahead of him with points as well. He is currently leading DB by 114.

12. Doh! Boys (4-7/4-2) vs. CO 114 ppg
If it wasn’t for the points he would actually have the best chances of the SOS teams. The bye in week 13 would help. Can’t help but notice the shenanigans in week 8 vs. IP is about as costly as it gets. A 16 point loss when you had a incomplete roster, that win would be huge right now.

13. Go Heels! (3-8/1-5) vs. RO 115 PPG
The slight lead in points and and the big win vs. Jeru pushes Heels to her highest ranking in weeks. Looking to finish the season on a high note. A win this week over the Order gives the bubble teams a little more room to work with.

15. HaTeRs (4-7/3-3) vs. TS 113 ppg
The 2 wins vs. Dandies are huge but the lowest scoring team in the NFLL in the leagues softest division (no offense DD) keep him down. The schedule is pretty unkind for the Haters with Sole this week and Monkeys the next. Like Heels this team still has a shot to go out with his head held high and also play spoiler.

15. Bengals (3-8/1-5) vs. JR 115 ppg
What can you say about the Bungles? Just when you think this team has traded away his talent he comes out with a victory last week. I have heard talk that he is a candidate for upset of the week. Serious games to finish the season with Jeru and Dandies, both games will decide playoff seeding.


***GAME OF THE WEEK***

Big game for both these teams, IP looking to lock up his division and a top seed. Dandies trying to hold on to the #2 seed.
