The Victors almost swept the Heroes for a second-straight week (3-1). This week the Legends faired better than the week against the Leaders, splitting their games right down the middle (2-2).
Week 8 ranking: 2 (▲1)
TD Do You Love Me climbs to #1 for the first time since Week 6. Scoring the most points this week (157.14 pts.) and improving to the best record (8-1), TDDYLM made easy work of the Horsedick boy'z (46.22 pts.) Powered by Mahomes, Henry and Ekeler, TDDYLM gave their potential future playoff opponent a taste of what's in store for week 14 and beyond.
Week 8 ranking: 1 (▼1)
Ronnie's Squad finally met a Legend they couldn't beat, ThatManAgain.... This was definitely a game everyone had their eyes on, as these two teams have the potential to run deep in to the playoffs, and the only other time they will meet is Hyphy Bowl IV. With strong performances from the top half of their roster, Ronnie's Squad made a respectable outing. Hopefully this game provides the right scouting needed to address any holes at the bottom of either roster for some good playoff play. Ronnie's Squad is definately looking forward to next week as they have The 37th Chamber up next.
Week 8 ranking: 4 (▲1)
SINCERE's Team scored below 100 points for the second time this season. Unlike the first time it happened, this time it did not result in a loss. Even with a key player (Christian McCaffrey) out on bye, and no usable replacement, that didn't result in a loss, as TEAM_MAGA did not have enough points to steal a win. With all of SINCERE's Team's major byes out of the way, look for ST to not drop below 100 points for the rest of the season. With the Horsedick boy'z on a 2-game losing streak, ST looks to make it 3 with a projected score of +30 on HDB.
Week 8 ranking: 3 (▼1)
Even with a win over Ronnie's Squad we had to drop ThatManAgain.... one spot in our rankings as we felt SINCERE's Team should be #3. TMA is 1-1 against the Leaders this year, and are looking to improve to 2-1 with an easy matchup against Shawn Brady.
Week 8 ranking: 5 ◄►
As predicted Julio Think You Are? I Am! is starting to string together a few wins and will make the Leaders division a close race in the coming weeks. Even though JTYAIA is in 9th place in the standings, they are still one of the strongest teams in the league. Julio Think You Are? I Am! is undefeated against the Legends and with Subject to Change next week and JonLegends after that, JTYAIA might go undefeated against them this year.
Week 8 ranking: 10 (▲4)
Subject to Change is making a case to secure the second playoff spot for the Legends, as STC has won another game pushing them ahead of The 37th Chamber. Scoring the 5th highest point total this week (109.46 pts.), STC would have secured wins against 75% of the league. With more points scored and a less injured squad, STC looks to be the favorite over 37C to make it to the first round of the playoffs.
7. SexySandwich
Week 8 ranking: 7 ◄►
SexySandwich was able to bounce back after last week's upset at the hands of The Gold Standard, and take a win off of Expansion Team BUE. This places them comfortably in 2nd place in the Heroes Division. With a tough matchup for both SS (TD Do You Love Me) and 3rd place TEAM_MAGA (The Gold Standard), SS doesn't look to lose any ground next week with a loss.
Week 8 ranking: 6 (▼2)
HDB drops even further in our Power Rankings this week, after scoring the week low 46.22 points. We dropped HDB down to 8 as last weeks performance was abysmall, and with key players out on bye or injury (Lamar Jackson, Ja'Marr Chase & JK Dobbins), HDB is going up against a pretty healthy SINCERE's Team.
Week 8 ranking: 8 (▼1)
This week The 37th Chamber is staying Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde, whichever is the weaker one, as 37C only scored 61.02 points against Julio Think You Are? I Am! (155.30 pts.) Being one game back from Subject To Change, The 37th Chamber really needs a win if they want to be the 2nd team from the Legends Division in the playoffs.
10. Shawn Brady
Week 8 ranking: 9 (▼1)
A terrible performance by Shawn Brady (65.40 pts.) is why we are dropping them to the edge of the Top 10. They still got a win from JonLegends (44.40 pts.), but they are losing the early lead they built in the Leaders Division in the first few weeks of the season. If Shawn Brady is going to be keeping the small lead they have on Julio Think You Are? I Am! and AbeFroman, Shawn Brady will need to upset ThatManAgain....
Week 8 ranking: 13 (▲2)
The Gold Standard jumps up 2 spots in our power rankings as Tue, Tyreek and Waddle got a little help from Rachaad White and Cole Kmet to defeat TEAM_MAGA. Scoring 100+ points for the 2nd week in a row, TGS is starting to find their stride and be a formidable team. Being a few games behind SINCERE's Team, this might be too late in the season to see any playoff hopes come to furition.
12. AbeFroman
Week 8 ranking: 11 (▼1)
Again, the best performing expansion team stays in the Top 12 of our Power Rankings. Even though they lost so did all of the other expansion teams. We didn't want to move them below TEAM_MAGA, as TM also lost and scored about 10 points less than AbeFroman. Although they are a dark horse to claim the #2 spot in the Leaders Division, AbeFroman still has a chance as they are tied with #3 and only two games behind #2 (Shawn Brady.) With an easy matchup next week (JonLegends,) AbeFroman looks to gain ground within the division.
13. Team_MAGA
Week 8 ranking: 12 (▼1)
TEAM_MAGA keeps slipping down our rankings with weekly poor performances. Not being able to beat an underachieving SINCERE's Team, TEAM_MAGA is closing the door on their playoff dreams on themselves. Let's see if they can end The Gold Standard's 2-game win streak.
Week 8 ranking: 14 ◄►
I'll Fuck Your Dad scored pretty close to 100 (98.54 pts.), but that wasn't enough to beat real life rival The Gold Standard. What started off as a promising expansion team, IFYD has lost 3 straight and are kissing a playoff berth goodbye.
15. BUE
Week 8 ranking: 15 ◄►
BUE couldn't find the points to beat SexySandwich, as BUE had two starting wide receivers put up goose-eggs (Nick westbrook-Ikhine & Ben Skowronek.) With no other real option, BUE might be looking to next year as they executed their first trade (to stick,) trading Michael Thomas for Rashod Bateman.
16. JonLegends
Week 8 ranking: 16 ◄►
JonLegends' is back to the work they started earlier in the season losing another game. JonLegends did not have much of a chance with no real quarterback, and two wide receivers that put up zero-spots.
Week 9 is in the books, and the Leaders and Legends split games 2-2, while the Victors went 3-1 over the Heroes. With two more weeks of the Leaders vs the Legends and the Victors vs the Heroes, let's see if Week 10 is more of the same.
