Week 9 Power Rankings Part 4
14. pintipv (14)
A win over Dallas put them at 5 wins on the season with another potential win against Weather Society on Saturday before having to face Żubr at home. There may be potential for a win there, but after that, it's looking scarce as they finish the season playing currently seeded #2, #1, and #4. pint is allowing the second most points per game this season at 110.2 coupled with the second highest allowed FG% (47.2%).

15. Dallas Bomskwad (15)
Dallas actually improved their season average EFFG by 3 points this week, to push them up ahead of Weather for "winner" of the worst EFFG in the league and combined with their 14th ranked OPP EFFG (which dropped a bit), they find themselves still in the deathly hallows of Div III.11. They're only averaging 71.9 ppg with their highest game total being 117 in a win against Weather. But since then, they haven't scored 80 points in a game, including games ending with 39, 46, 46, & 49 points total. If I've learned anything this season - a strong core group of 5-8 players is much better than a single titan. Fortunately for The Architect, as I've mentioned before, he's got to be sitting on some dough to rebound after this season.

16. Weather Society (16)
Melon Collie's squad has given up the most points of any team this season, rapidly approaching the 2000-point mark and his OPP EFFG has eclipsed the 155 mark two weeks in a row. Weather Society is at or near the bottom of nearly every major statistical category, but one thing they do have going for them is they lead the league in least personal fouls per game with only 11.5. The last thing I'll say about Melon's squad is that it's hard to compete in a division when you're spending more than $100k less than the 2nd lowest salaried team in the division (also, well under the salary floor!).

Props to pintipv's Grossman with a monster double double, but Rip City's Nikky Nay with a 50-burger!

I've enjoyed these - sorry for not being very active in here.

I'm in a weird spot with my team. I think that Kofan is a D.II-level player, but Fleurent just didn't develop into the type of player that I was hoping for. I spread his training pops around a bit too much and now he's just a decent SF/PF.

I probably would need to pick up 2 guards in the $20-40k salary range to really compete for promotion, but my revenue situation doesn't really allow for it at the moment. We'll see what happens this week, but I think my goal may be to just avoid relegation this season and go into a full-blown rebuild next season.

CT me once, shame on me. CT me again? Shame on you!

Along those same lines - you all are way too scared of my team - I'm probably the most "normaled" team in the league. . the last 8 league games my opponent has gone normal versus my TIE

100% of the teams ahead of me have played me normal for each match:

Philly Dribble: normal both times versus my TIE
Linndale: normal both times versus my TIE
Gremlins: normal versus my TIE
Ashkickers: normal versus my TIE

Way too much respect. Thanks for all of the love ; )

Maybe that's why I'm behind you because I TIED!

On a totally new subject: mismanaging my team's game shape is my favorite thing to do. I don't even have to pay attention to do it; I can just passively mismanage it by not setting a lineup. Woooohoooo!

Ouch - that's rough! I hate when that happens.

Sorry crew. Was out on vacation and missed some power ranking updates. I’ll try to post a season recap early this week. Some good games (depending on your perspective) to end the season!
