Power Rankings- 12/7

1. Madd Skillz (10-3) LW: 1st (-)

-First real spot of bad luck all year- 2nd high point total for the week in a loss. Still guaranteed a playoff spot.

2. Cellar Dwellars (10-3) LW: 2nd (-)

-Limping a little right now- a good showing in a stress-free Week 14 would go a long way towards settling the nerves of Stem come playoff time.

3. The Octagon (8-5) LW: 4th (+1)

-6 straight wins including the last two over the league's top two teams. An amazing run that could mean nothing with a loss next week.

4. Sex Panther (7-6) LW: 3rd (-1)

-Simply needs to beat JR the last week of the season to get into the playoffs. What could possibly go wrong?

5. Blaine Browns (7-6) LW: 5th (-)

-Despite sitting in 5th place, has the best chance of getting into the posteason amongst the three teams still in it.

6. Fred Lane's Wife (6-7) LW: 7th (+1)

-Can still make it in as long as they make up a 170 point differential in the tiebreaker.

7. Big Champeons (6-7) LW: 6th (-1)

-My thoughts on CHM this year (in order): playoff sleeper, not even a playoff contender, possible spoiler, way out of it, right back in it, done again, set up well for next year. Potential keepers: Daunte Culpepper, Julius Jones, Cedric Benson, Terrell Owens, Andre Johnson. Very good core.

8. Big Fat Guys (4-9) LW: 9th (+1)

-Long live the King! Wait, what? Who won?

9. Who is Ron Mexico? (3-10) LW: 10th (+1)

-Impressive showing this week, and most of the year for that matter. I think 7 wins from the expansion teams is admirable, and far better than we all expected.

10. Father Abraham (4-9) LW: 8th (-2)

-This roster doesn't reflect the ability of Lincoln to assemble a football team. Incredibly- his injuries have overshadowed the crippling losses to FLW.
