WEEK 7 POWER RANKINGS

1. Phat Girls (LW -1) Entering their 6th straight victorious week, the Phat Girls have just about smothered the rest of the league, sitting on all competitors indiscriminately. This week's victim was the Necronauts who had little chance against the high powered (137 pt production of PG. Phattest among all Roddy White with a smashing 32 this week in the WR slot. Chaos and upsets among the top 5 only heighten the Girl's dominance, Zeus' thunderbolt stays with the longest winning streak.

Next Week - Revenge - On paper, there's not much of a contest here. But Revenge is a high powered, if inconsistent team, it's rare to call a #1 vs. #10 match-up a push, but this might be the week.

2. BDTh1nk1ng (LW-5) BDT stepped up in a fine style this week, with a victory over Sachs that keeps them tied for the lead for the Milesian Division. Big games all around meant that we didn't have to wait for the vaunted triple-Cowboys titration to see a powerful run from one of the league's new superpowers. And we may not see it, Tony Romo has a broken clavicle, which more or less screws titrations for Miles Austin as well. BDT's got some work to do, the good news is they've got running power to spare, and spare it they will (dearly) for a starting QB. The Dying Gaul sits on the tomb of Tony Romo's season.

Next Week- Vicks - BDT looks to solidify its newfound glory by keeping their boot to the Dogs' throats. With several byes outstanding, this one will be over before it starts if Vicks doesn't make adjustments.

3. El Mundo Pequeno (LW-2) EMP was upset in a squeaker by the always dangerous Darksiders. Fantasy Reality star Danny Woodhead under-titrated, and likely cost EMP the game. But don't expect Little World to be snake-bit just because their experimentation backfired. They're still in the driver's seat for a wild card, and they've gotten there by making the most moves in the league. Xerxes joins the overconfident.

Next Week - Pelicans - MATCH UP OF THE WEEK No love lost in this grudge match between the Commish and his most vocal critic. The Pelicans got some mojo last week beating their Ferries on some 4th quarter MNF titration - expect them to bring a little something personal to this contest between league bad-boys.

4. Trichs (LW-6) - The Trichs didn't do much hair-pulling over their line-up this week, but still powered their way over the lowly 'Toids. A second straight loss by the Kennel puts them into a tie for the Ephesian lead. It's a testament to draft strategy that the Trichs are still competitive without filling all roster spots, but how long can it last? Blind Fortune steers the sleeper's wheel.

Next Week - Skins - The Hair Pullers get this-week's-surprise next week in the Skins, and they'd better set their line-up if they want to avoid the fate of their co-division-leaders.

5. JGPB (LW - 4) The Pelicans pulled out a nip & Tuck game against their division rivals the Ferries, but needed Monday night defense points to do it. They'll stay tied for the division lead, but certainly seem much more human than their incarnation earlier this season. Vegas has given up on these once favored sons, and they've promised to come back "with their shields or on them" in an improbable match-up with Pequeno next week.

Next Week - Pequeno - MATCH UP OF THE WEEK Here's their big chance, to take down "The Man." But do they have enough gas in the tank? Leonidas rallies the troops.

6. Vicks (LW-3) - Still stinging from a surprise defeat to the 'Toids, the Dogs took a nap and got seriously scalped by the Skins. Truly if all the world were smoke, then the world would be distinguished by the nostrils. But this stunk no doubt. Questions about the dual Epehsian leaders make this the true "sleeper division". Fortuna marks this house for ill.

Next Week - BDT- Expect Vicks to wake up and make this one a real fight.

7. Ferries (LW-8) - The Ferries are quickly becoming the hard luck franchise of the PSAS, with a nighttime adjustment in week 6 and an afternoon of missed chances to upset their rivals the Pelicans in the Matchup of the Week.

Next Week - Sachs - As for parity this is a nice match-up. The San Francisco Treats need to keep their heads up and focus on winning games. Everyone thinks this team is close to a breakthrough, but they can't let another one slip by.

8. Goldman Sachs (LW-8) - The Sachs put up impressive numbers but still got blown out by high flying BDT. Upsets all around them keep them in the playoff hunt. Some backfire with Beanie has the Sachs wringing their hands to the heavens. Icarus reminds you not to tempt the gods, but seek the path of moderation.

Next Week - Ferries - The Bankers have some work to do to field a team with extensive byes in week 8, but a clutch win could propel them into the top half. "Neither a borrower nor a lender be..."

9. Revenge of the Sith (LW-11) - An unlikely Darkside victory against EMP keeps them moving upwards to corrupt more teams. In the wild and woolly Ephesian the Sith aren't out of it, though they are a Dark Horse. The Aegis protects the Upsetters!

Next Week - Revenge must keep climbing the ladder vs. #1 Phat Girls. But they could do the rest of the league a favor with a big upset.

10. International Necronauts (LW-9) - Phat Girls spanked the Nauts this week, but as mortals die the life of gods they're still competitive in the Ephesian School. Zeppelin sings the Nauts the Immigrant Song - hammer of the gods, drive our ships to new lands...

Next Week - 'Toids - In this match-up of the Dead, the Nauts will have to keep focused to beat a desperate 'Toids team that is surely due for a break, and don't call me Shirley.


11. Skins (LW-12) The Skins climb out of the basement by virtue of a surprise victory over the Kennel this week. I think we all thought this one was going the other way, so a big shout-out to the Skins for a well-earned victory. And chin-up, with all the upsets last week, almost everybody still in the mix. Sitting Bull gathers the tribes.

Next Week - Trichs - keeping focused is key as the Skins get another shot to climb the ladder with a potential sleeping giant.

12. Thanatoids (LW-10) - The 'Toids came up short in a week of upsets, but they're still an improving squad. 5 out of 7 squads they've played have had winning records, and their points against shows it (average of 109 per game). The 'Toids clearly need a friend in the scheduling department, as they'll end the season with Pequeno and Pelicans, both for the 2nd time! However, 3 out of their next 4 games are against teams with sub-500 records. There's room here for the 'Toids to surge, but they've got to become a more balanced team. St. Jude's medal for those bereft of hope, but still children of god.

Next Week - Nauts - this basement match-up might determine which of these dwellers of the underworld can come back to life this season.
