Power Rankings

We had to give it to them. Bush Gard’ems is number 1 in these rankings, finally. What took us so long? Maybe it was the threats of Judy and Lynch that finally got to us? Maybe it was a phenomenal performance by Merril, who finally stopped wondering what time it was and decided to catch a few TDs? Maybe it was Jayme just being so darn nice to everyone! Whatever it was, this team is definitely leading the charge this season with points scored, sacks given, and interceptions. I think all of us here are looking forward to the match up with Citrus Got Real next week to determine who the real #1 seed is heading into the last turn of the season.

Unsurprisingly, Orange comes alive when all of the players on the roster are actually able to make the games. With a defense run by Meg, they gave Maroon a hell of a time trying to get into the endzone. Word on the street Orange is the favorite to win in next week’s match up against Green. Not in points, but where it matters, in our hearts. Though they have the same record as Green, I think everyone just wants to see if Metz has what it takes to do what no other team has, beat Lynch. Given their performance last week with yet another shut-out for the Maroon team, it seems well within their grasp.

Kori is back from their most recent age related injury to score 12 points and an INT. These stats are incredible considering they did all of this while holding up their pants and illegally wearing their flags. Best stat of the weekend, big 20+ yard TD by Captain Ashley to let people know that blockers matter too. Although their record does not show it, this team is destined for the final 4. Meg is just heating up and if their vibes stay as cool as their champagne sideline celebrations, this team is destined for greatness.

Yeah Glow has a lot going for it. With so many vets and strong rookies, this team is second in interceptions and sacks, however has been struggling to finish games strong. Most interesting stat comes from Lindsey, who in addition to having a coordinating fit for each of the 24 possible team colors, has had 4(!) interceptions, playing both sides of the ball, every game, at approximately 67 years of age. If Lindsey comes to play this hard, the rest of the team has no excuses to ball out for the rest of the season. Yeah Glow has so much potential to climb back the rankings. Maybe now that Captain Nour is complete with international travel, road races, and miscellaneous queer weddings, Yeah Glow can have a big comeback this weekend against Maroon!

The Rise and Fall of the Pink Pony Club. They say never meet your heroes, or in this case, name your team after them. Coming off a win against Yellow last week, we were excited to see how Pink did against the now #1 Green and well… honestly we were impressed. The new supplemental pick for Pink made early waves in their first game of the season on offense and defense coming away with a touchdown and MVP. Pink also managed to keep Green out of the endzone a few times. Once Pink gets rid of those pesky INTs, they can put together an impressive team. One thing we can count on this season is that the Pink team will leave it all on the fields.

Maroon is unfortunately currently beating only themselves. Truly we would like to stop making these kinds of jokes, but with a team name like this, the jokes truly do write themselves. With a stacked roster like this, we are surprised that they are limping into the second half of the season. Lacking their captain heading into the double-header weekend, Shayne filled the role of captain, QB, and board member all at once. Out of respect for that feat, we won’t talk about the first game, but we will talk about the second game. Credit where credit is due, this team came alive against Green, on the field and on the sidelines. We have never seen so many refs in lawn chairs and team jerseys. The good news? It is almost the playoffs where things like “records” and “points scored” don’t really matter. Don’t let this record fool you, these underdogs still have some bite left in them.
