NFLL

You all need to get off my nuts with the "where's the rankings?" or I will start having to charge you all for this. 619, you are new so I am going to break it down for you. Back in the day when I had lots of free time I came up with the weekly power rankings, my opinions with a simple formula I use to calculate who the best teams in the league are. Also to keep simple stats like records and division record (2-0 / 2-0), PPG (points per game). The formula looks at the following items, PPG (#1 detail), record, starting roster, teams they beat, opponents schedule, and for a small portion a teams depth and injuries. "^" symbol means the team has increased in rankings since last week and "v" means the opposite and "--" means no change...It's easy to catch on, basically just a forum for me to make fun of the teams not doing well or make fun of teams who have not beaten me since 2005 (like Hail). Also highlights things like rivalry bowls, NFLL trivia and other useless stats. You will catch on pretty quick since the usual suspects are always at the top and haters will always be struggling to make it out of #16. As always, take them for what they are worth and enjoy.

1. BUCKEYES (2-0 / 2-0) 153 ppg - As I called it, the division is his for the taking, what we didn't count on is Cocoon standing in his way at week #3. Winner takes sole possession of Supedo. Top 2 draft picks face off this weekend, should be a shoot-out.

2. BLIND MONKEYS (2-0 / 2-0) 143 ppg - Getting real tired of this guy, somebody needs to take him out. Up vs. Doh this week so no offense to DB but a 3-0 start looks likely. This was a tough call with 619 right on his heels but a win vs. Dandies is always huge in this league.

3. THE 619ERS (2-0 / 2-0) 148 ppg - The rook looks like a veteran with the start he has been off to. This week looks to be a breeze going against the RO. Although losing Tebow to Haters had to be a real bummer a 3-0 start sure would more than make up for it.

4. COCOON OF HORROR (2-0 / 2-0) 145 ppg - The shocker so far, has beaten some decent competition and now has a chance for a 3-0 start and to be division leader.

5. KILLA CALI (2-0 / 2-0) 139 ppg - This has to be the worst undefeated team in the league, however he did have a great win over Hail to extend the streak. In 2005, the last time Hail beat KC:
-I am pretty sure all 16 teams were still living in Vegas
-Hurricane Katrina had just taken it's toll
-there were no Kardashians to keep up with
-Michael Jackson was found innocent on child molestation charges
-I was still in my 20's
-damn Hail did you even have your 2 kids yet?
-Brad and Jennifer had just broken up but Tom and Katie had just gotten together.
-Everybody loves Raymond was the most popular tv show
-the list could go on and on...but you get my point.

6. GO HEELS! (1-1 / 1-1) 141ppg - Tough loss last week and now this week has to face KC in the Love/Hate Bowl. Going to be real important to grab some wins early on as she may be the front runner for hardest schedule, her next 4 opponents have a combined record of 8-0...ouch.

7. JERU (RIP) (1-1 / 1-1) 137 ppg - Slightly edges out Agency for the #7 spot, and unfortunately has to go up against Hail this week who is definitely looking to prove a point. This could really be a close matchup.

8. THE AGENCY (1-1 / 1-1) 138 ppg - This was just about a coin flip. Last week's effort vs. 619 was heart-breaking and losing Reggie even more so. Really just needs to get back to business and pick up a win vs. D's Nuts.

9. DIAPER DANDIES (1-1 / 1-1) 137 ppg - How many of you are writing the kid off already??? Well put your hands down cuz he will be back...kinda like Merv in a buffet line. Be warned, don't take him lightly.

10. $HAIL-MARY$ (0-2 / 0-2) 125 ppg - Some may not agree with this but in my opinion this is the best 0-2 team in the league. A few different plays here and there mixed with a little better luck and this team could've been 2-0. With Jeru this week and Buckeyes on the horizon, there is talk of a 0-4 start...

11. D's NUTS (1-1 / 1-1) 125 ppg - Interesting match-ups this week but still a winnable game vs. The agency this week. The talent is there so I still see this squad being a contender.

12. TRUE SOLE (0-2 / 0-2) 112 ppg - Had real high hopes for Sole this season, not sure what is going on...starting 0-3 in the hole is never good. Decent match-up this week vs. IP.

13. DOH! BOYS (1-1 / 1-1) 110 ppg - Don't get me wrong this is a tough division or at least this should be tough division. A win this week would be the statement we have all been waiting for.

14. HATERS (0-2 / 0-2 ) 113 ppg - The GM is back in town and is looking to get things back on track. Week 3 is a nice little matchup vs old division rival Dandies, who I am sure has not forgotten what happened last year.

15. INDIGOPALMSSUCKS (0-2 / 0-2) 98 ppg - Plain and simple a win is a must this week.

16. RESTRAINING ORDER (0-2 / 0-2) 78 ppg - Good God man...78 points per game? Not a whole lot to say here except, question answered for those who ever wondered if they should draft 2 QBs that early.
