Week 6 Power Rankings

Week 5 kept the perfect bell curve going with 1-1 (5-0, 0-5), 1-1 (4-1, 1-4), 5-5 (3-2, 2-3). Average score saw another uptick to 113.75 as the "score a bunch of points, then allow an inferior offense to do the same" game plan comes to fuller fruition. Last week's 13 took out last week's 2, in an unfortunate disincorporation incident involving leaving robot copies of yourself behind fill positions then having them turn on you and forgetting the trick where you travel back in time after you win and strategically place an important item under your couch cushion. 

1. (1)  Polk High Panthers  (5-0) - Alone at the top, the Bundys take full possession of Zeus' lightning bolt.  Calvin was a surprise scratch and they still put up 149.  All City indeed.  Throwing an LSU wideout in as an emergency starter is always a good idea and payed off as Randle hauled in two TDs and put Polk in charge of their clearly manifest destiny.

2. (6) BuildingDwellingThinking     (3-2) - The German Philosophers rocket to the top with the high score of the week (and third straight league-history-high) at 157.94.    Rice is seeing endzone work and that's a really good sign for the Chico Bandits' prospects in the 2nd half.Romo and Bryant combined for 67.29 or more than the lowest scoring teams entire total this week. Romomentum?

3  (T4) Pelican Brief - (3-2) - Finally rid of their nemesis Clancy, the Grishamites romped in the game of the week.  Brady *funny cartoon sound* dropped  a 4 at QB, but the Brief got plenty elsewhere.  5 double digits from position players. CJ?K still ain't getting the short yardage work and it shows in his 0 rushing TD total.

4. (2) TakingTigerMountain (4-1) - The Brees-Jimmer TD streak was broken but TTM nearly pulled it off anyway.  They combined for 33.32, but couldn't find the endzone that would have made the difference here. They still might have eeked it out on Monday Morning football, but Ryan Matthews got sleepy and had his helmet taken away by the concussion protocol authority. They'll be happy to see Antonio Brown back next week at WR1.

5  (3) Grossman Sachs (2-3) - The Commish is tops in points scored and points against.  They've played three of last year's playoff teams already.  Oh and they put up 141 with AP on the bench (56 bench points among three active players).  We expect the g0dbank's uneven luck to pick up soon.

6. (9) Tusken Raiders (3-2) -Rising and falling with the dunes, so are the Sand People's fortunes.  They've got three games 120+ and that's good enough to keep you in the top half.  Minus RGIII, Tusken FC got the expected big numbers from Charles and D-Jax, but Woodhead has been a nice week-to-week surprise. They'll cross their fingers that Julio comes out of his bye week healthy...

7. (8)  Dijonaise All Stars  (3-2) - Mustard Gas exhaled after a squeaker against their bitter rivals Phat Girlz in a week that saw some trash talk on the blog.  A low scoring affair on both sides, it came down to IDP on SNF.  A-Rodg got his double titration with J.Jones and that's about it.  Arian looks increasingly like the functional part of a broken offense in Huston. A-Rodg is sitting at 9th in QB points, is it time to finally give up stuntcocking for Jake Gyllenhal and focus on football?

T 8. (T. 4) Homespun Neckbloodz  (3-2) - The Cyclotron dropped their second straight, putting up their low score of the year.  Blogging out a big gamble on Hoyer ended in a torn ACL and tears. Cutler had his best game of the year on the bench, though.   They'll hope S-Jax is ready to roll out of his week 6 bye.

T. 8 (7) Phat Girlz (2-3) - Not enough meat on the bone after a feast week 4 for the Girlz, they dropped a double digit battle with the Mustard Men. Sproles and Miller didn't get the right snaps and came up very light. Houston's goose egg was the tipping point for this week, but if Wilson major looses time it could be the scales of the season are in the balance.

10. (10) Aethernauts (2-3) - The Nauts are consistent and the 110s seem to be their benchmark.  They've scored above that and below that once.  Newton did them wrong this week with a single digit performance while an injury question mark Pryor shined on Monday Morning Football. The Newton-Smith double came for a combined 13. 

11. (12) Trichs  (2-3)  - TheTrichs climb out of the basement one game at a time, this time they nearly doubled the Stylez with a respectable 124 (season high). They did it with superior days from Julius Thomas and Mason Crosby and managed to leave an IDP open during a likely win, a smart move.  They've still got more RBs first on the depth chart than any other team.

12. (11)  Goslings  SanFranciscoFerries (2-3) - The Goslings streak ended at two as they couldn't muster triple digits against the mighty Polk.  The Pretty Boy's season-saving hope Le'von was on a bye, so this was a mismatch going in.  Powell's value suffers with Goodson back, so a 3 WR set it is and boom-bust totals.

13. (13) SanFranciscoFerries (1-4)- The Ferries did what they needed to do and slew a top ranked team to keep hope alive. Like the Trich's of last year the Boatmen will try to keep afloat after hard luck draft early season.  Is Gronk next week?  How long are we going to ask this?

14. (13)  PrimordialLifestyles (0-5) - Realistically, nobody survives their QB throwing a negative number or leaving an RB slot with a bye.
