1. Phat Girlz - (LW - 1) The Girls kept the pressure on by blasting a win 
and inching closer to the Eleatic banner, which it seems inevitable now will provide the #1 seed for the playoffs. Still, there's got to be some nervous glances in the Phat camp with the fireworks that EMP and BDT are providing. All of a sudden, the top of the league looks thoroughly high-powered. With Schaub's knee creating a big ? at QB, and the Sanchize Jets looking like they might be able to coast toward the playoffs without trying too hard in the PSAS playoff weeks, PG could be vulnerable.
Next Week - Grossman Sachs - There's been a lack of love for the Phat Girls this year. A dominant start created some jealousy, and their non-political stance has made them seem media-invisible compared to the competing camps of BDT and EMP. Still, a win here should keep them in the driver's seat and force EMP to play the unpredictable first round game.

2. el mundo pequeño (LW-3) - Greek stories of conspicuous excellence, as you may have noticed, usually end badly. The exception of course is that of Heracles, who himself becomes a god. We'll give EMP the benefit of the doubt and presume that this week's performance was but one of Heracles' labors and not the tragic rage of Achilles. So, let's take a moment to break down this record-setting performance. 6 out of 7 offensive position players scored in double digits, the kicker put up 15, the defense put up 23, and the IDPs combined for 16.4! No matter what happens with the rest of the reigning champ's season, this is quite a victor's laurel.
Next Week - The Thanatoids - When you're riding as high as the Little Worlders these dead-ites must resemble ants. 120 would doubtless put this one out of upset range, but less could be dangerous in a must win division match-up against the rising 'Toids.

rop in the power rankings. Pequeno's big day outshone a great performance by BDT. But they needn't be too sad, they've got the Milesian all but sewn up and with it the second seed. What's more 136 was a personal high for them this year and makes them look more legitimate as a deep threat in this year's playoffs. If Kitna's performance becomes a regular thing, BDT may have found a new logo...Next Week - JGPB - This one is guaranteed to be a Milesian grudge match and a potential play-off preview. And that alone is enough to give it MATCH-UP of the WEEK status.
4. Vickskennel.com (LW-7) - The Dot Com Kennel picked up a clutch win in last week's match-up of the week, with some clutch MNF QB-ing from Philip Rivers which also inflated their numbers considerably. The Dot Commers now control their own destiny with two more against division rivals. However, they may need to win out just to assure the division with the Necronauts keeping pace. If they can get on a little roll, they might not cry over missing the first round bye. Still their roster is thinner than you'd like for an odds-on contender, as put options rise against them, you have to wonder if the bankers were merely driving up their stock to sell high.
Next Week -Revenge of the Sith - The Sith are coming off an emotional loss in which their running backs missed their titrations by half a mile. Expect them to rebound and force the Kennel Klub to score 120+ for a win.
5. Int'l Necronauts (LW -6) - The Nauts have a share in the league's
longest current winning streak. You've got to like these plucky outsiders because their not just doing it with luck, they've got some real power averaging 112.65 over the last 4 weeks. With numbers like those they'll be favorites in a first round playoff game and no rank underdogs in the second. But, first things the Nauts probably need at least one more win to step into the hallowed arena of the playoff games. Steven Seagal offers you two of his Lightning Bolt energy drinks for your playoff run (not for women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant).

Steven Seagal offers you two of his Lightning Bolt energy drinks for your playoff run (not for women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant).Next Week - Trichs - The Nauts could even up their division record with a win here, a loss and the chaos in the Ephesian will return to it's normal batshit crazy level.
6. ThePelicanBrief - (LW - 4) The Pelicans continued their downward migration this week with a loss to league leaders PG, and with it their chances of a division banner have likely gone south for the winter as well. Still, free fall is not an option in their position and they'll need at least one of the last two to secure a wild card. National Geographic's Great Migrations: A Global Event would like you to sign off on some HD deliverables, just in case.
Next Week - Girls - BDT - MATCH-UP OF THE WEEK - The Pelicans took out BDT in a low scoring match-up in week 1. They'll likely need more to sweep the season series.
7. Trichotillomaniacs (LW - 6) The Trichs got crushed by the Milesian leaders BDT last week, and dipped below .500 for the first time this season. With two more games in division, they could still pull it out but surely they would have to win out. The Trichs are one of several teams on the brink that have to be wondering what's better: a playoff wildcard and a slim chance at glory? or a consolation bye and a good chance at a high draft pick. News of Nick's injury will likely make them heavy bidders in the Woodhead lottery.
8. GrossmanSachs (LW-8) The Sachs put up a good show, but got nipped
by the Dogs in a touch-and-go battle. They're in essentially the same situation as the Trichs, except that the division banner is not an option. That being said, the Sachs probably need a couple wins and some help from the Ephesian School to make the playoffs. The Insane Clown Posse reflexively asks you: Fuckin' playoffs how do they work? It's a miracle, yo.

There are enough variables in play in this division that any of their top 3 could walk into the division banner yet.

Worse, in all likelihood both teams will have something to play for, so St. Vick of the Redemption may have to perform a few more miracles to send this team to playoff heaven.
9. The Thanatoids (LW- T. 11) - The deadish ones snuck by with a lucky win
that they didn't really earn. Drew Brees finally decided to show up and play after his bye week, and though they're missing several important pieces, they're finally able to field at least four offensive players in double digits with some consistency. You'd have to think this team with plenty of cash will get into the Danny Woodhead lottery in the hopes of keeping their season alive in the consolation tourney. The 'Toids would doubtless like a little Redemption but a streak starts at 3 games.
Next Week - Vicks - The Kennel has been talking tough, but this should be a pretty even match-up. Revenge needs to keep winning to assure a consolation bye.
11. Skins All The Way (LW- T. 11) - The Skins became the latest victim of the Necronauts rising 
tide this week. An injured Kenny Britt didn't do much to help matters in the WR spot. Still there's enough talent on this team's bench to make it a serious competitor for the consolation bye tourney.
Next Week - Ferries - This preterite undercard will likely eliminate one of these two from consolation bye contention. And, barring a tie, it will also eliminate one of their losing streaks.
Next Week - Skins - Every victory counts since consolation byes may well come down to head to head match-ups.
