Week 11 Power Rankings
Week 11 Power Rankings
With two weeks to go, three teams appear to have finally separated from the pack as the favorites for the crown. After that, it’s up for grabs; four other teams that on average are pretty, well, average, despite the occasional delusions of grandeur. For the last and final playoff spot, two newcomers hold the upper hand, while an old dog retains a glimmer of hope. It shall be exciting!
1. The Home Pwners (Record 9-2, Standings: 1, Previous Week PR: 1)
A nice return to normalcy after last week’s aberration, which really was an aberration in score only, not in the final result. Confused? At least it’s clear who the best team is. One more win locks up the top seed.
2. The Dngrs Dngrs (Record 8-3, Standings: 2, Previous Week PR: 3)
Climb back into early season form with two straight monster efforts. That was a strong win over another very good team. Can they give the Pwners a run for their money?
3. The Schmuckernators (Record 8-3, Standings: 3, Previous Week PR: 2)
Tough defeat bumps them down another notch. They are still a serious contender, but it just wasn’t their week.
4. Blind Squirrels (Record 7-4, Standings: 4, Previous Week PR: 6)
After speaking up to defend their honor, they go out and…look pretty average. But they did win, we’ll give them that. And since winning is the name of the game, we’ll keep moving them up.
5. Brett’s Benzos BID (Record 7-4, Standings: 5, Previous Week PR: 5)
They get the win, though it was closer than it should have been. Considering they left bucketloads of points on the bench, though, they have to feel pretty lucky.
6. Incomprehensibles (Record 7-4, Standings: 6, Previous Week PR: 7)
Pretty nice showing, and suddenly this under-the-radar team has a decent chance to snag a shiny seed from a better team. Nice work for this bunch of overachievers.
7. Cool Runnings (Record 6-5, Standings: 7, Previous Week PR: 4)
This potential of this team has been long promoted from this space, but it’s time to call them out: they just aren’t performing to a very high level week in and week out. Still capable, but they sure are stuck in neutral right now.
8. Fat Cats (Record 4-7, Standings: 8, Previous Week PR: 9)
Moving into this spot pretty much by default, the Fat Cats lost a golden opportunity to put some ground in between themselves and their pursuers. Still, since basically everyone below them also tripped up, they didn’t completely fumble away the game.
9. Inglorious Bat Turds (Record 3-8, Standings: 9, Previous Week PR: 8)
Yikes. Was that the loss that cost them the playoffs?
10. Cupcakes of Doom! (Record 3-8, Standings: 10, Previous Week PR: 10)
That was miserable. The only consolation right now is that they have a slightly easier schedule than the teams they are chasing. Still a very steep climb.
11. Cactus. Look out! (Record: 2-9, Standings: 11, Previous Week PR: 11)
After a strong start, the ever-optimistic one watches his supporting cast turn in almost no help. Unfortunate, but that’s the way it goes. Now they have a chance next week to end the playoff dreams for another bottom dweller.
12. Minions (Record 2-9, Standings: 12, Previous Week PR: 12)
What’s this? Now the kicker is winning games for them? What a strange, strange season. You know what’s even more amazing? They technically haven’t even been eliminated from the playoff race! (Provided they win out, numbers 8-10 lose out, number 11 goes 1 for 2, and they gain 35 points on the Cats. I didn’t say it would be easy.)
