Power Rankings - Week #12

NFLL

This is it kids, the final show down.  For three of you, this is your final shot for glory.  Who will make the elite 8 and have a shot at the flask?  For the rest, what else can I say except go down swingin'...

***The 11 playing for the flask***

1.      THE AGENCY  (9-3/5-1) 143 ppg [1]   {6}
Basically sitting back and watching the other 10 contenders scramble and fight.  With a decent point cushion on Monkeys, the #1 seed is practically locked even with a loss this week.  However a win can eliminate Haters from the post-season and lock-up the conference title and prize.

2.     BLIND MONKEY$ (8-4/4-2) 140 ppg [2]
Blind Monkeys? More like rabid monkeys, playoffs are locked, so he is safe and sound high up in his tree.  A win this week can give him a chance at the conference with a H8 win and if he can outscore the Agency by about 39.  A loss this week, locks 619 into the playoffs.

3.     BUCKEYES (8-4/3-2) 134 ppg [3]   $
Already locked up but now its time to grab some prize money... Can run away with the conference title with a win this week. A loss hands IP the division.

4.     KILLA CALI (7-5/3-3) 141 ppg [4]   {2}   $
 Basically locked up, however its all about seeding here, can finish anywhere from #2 to #7.  With a 50 point cushion on Hail, a win would lock up the division, a loss would let Sole in the post-season and hand Hail the division title if he can hold off Cocoon. Can steal the conference title with a win and a Buckeye loss. Can possibly steal the #2 seed with a win and a Buckeye and Monkey loss.

5.     $HAIL-MARY$ (7-5/3-3) 137 ppg [5]
 Similar story to KC right now, playoff bound with a win.  Can stay playoff bound with a loss if he can stay ahead by points in front of 619, CO and Haters. Can take the division and #4 seed with a win and a Cali loss. 

6.    THE 619ERS (6-6/3-3) 138 ppg [7]

Points per game is what keeps his grasp on the final playoff spot.  Easiest way to stay in the top 8 is a win.  A loss will require a loss from H8, JR and CO to stay ahead of them for the final spot. 

 
7.     INDIGOPALMSSUCKS (7-5/3-2) 124 ppg [6]   $
Totally bombed last week and now needs a win vs Buckeyes.  A loss and you are all but doomed as you will need losses by the following bubble teams (JR, 619, H8), or you will need to score about 260 this week if one or more of them win.  Practically in the same ship as Sole right now, but a little better shape than Jeru.  A win this week would guarantee him the division title. Can lock up the conference championship with a win this week and Hail and Cali loss.  There is no other team that is on as delicate a bubble as IP, a win could possible mean conference champ, a loss could mean season over...can finish as high as 3, or as low as 10.

8.     HaTeRs (6-6/3-3) 134 ppg [10]
Currently on the outside looking in, little Jed Chan's face is pressed against the window...In a must win situation this week.  Unfortunately this win must come against the #1 team in the country right now. A win should be enough with a Sole or 619 loss.  Again must still outscore the other bubble teams to help his seeding, so will need to outscore CO with a CO win, or outscore HM by 34 if Hail wins.  PPG is extremely high so in better shape than most but still needs to win this week.

9.     COCOON OF HORROR (6-6/3-3) 134 ppg [9]
 Surprising to see this team on the bubble, dropping the last two really put him in a bind. Not the best situation to be in either going against his long time nemesis Hail this week in the bad blood bowl.  To secure a trip, he will need to win first and foremost, then needs wins from KC or BE to secure a  spot.  It would also help his cause and seeding if he beat Hail this week by about 43 points. 

10.    JERU (R.I.P.)  (6-6/4-1) 125 ppg [11]   $ 
  Not in the best shape but definitely not out.  Pretty much needs to win, can move from #11 to #4 with a win and a Hail and Cali loss, which would give him the division.  If JR, KC and HM all win, he will need a 619 loss AND a H8 loss.  Or the looooooooongshot, if he loses, needs a 619, CO and H8 loss and will need to score about 320...yes, 320 in a loss. 

11.    TRUESOLE (7-5/2-4) 119 ppg [8]
The team with the softest schedule takes advantage and wins again. Opponents over the last 12 games averaged  a paltry 110ppg.  However, his own 119 ppg has him at a disadvantage in the wild card race as he is pretty much in a must win situation to survive. With a loss this week, Sole will need help: a Haters, 619 and Jeru loss to keep them out of contention of a wild card spot.

***Playing for Pride and Playing Spoiler***

12.   DIAPER DANDIES (5-7/3/2) 131 ppg [12]
I know you must be disappointed which only makes me think you will be out for revenge in 2013.

13.   GO HEELS! (3-9/1-4) 123 ppg [15]
Jeru finds himself in a must win situation this week. You can spoil his playoff hopes with a victory.

14.     D's NUTZ (4-8/2-3) 116 ppg [13]
A few weeks ago, figured you were destined for the postseason. Thanks for playing and stepping up this year though.

15.  TWO-TIMES (4-8/1-4) 111 ppg [14]
Thanks for joining us this year, hope you had fun and I expect you back in 2013. Please keep checking this site weekly during the playoffs, you will want to keep up with what is going on during the post-season and off season.

16.    D'OH BOYS (3-9/1-4) 125ppg [16]
Another year down in the dumps. This week's match-up versus Dandies is your Super Bowl, make it count.
