BTFL POWER RANKINGS #14-COLTS- WELL NOT MUCH TO SAY HERE AS THIS TEAM HAS ALOT TO DO IF THEY WANT TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT AS OF NOW CANT SEE THE COLTS MAKING THE POST-SEASON AS THIS TEAM IS STILL PUTTING GUYS EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT PLAYERS FOR THEM TO SUCCEED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT SPOT IS NOWHERE NEAR BEING IN PLACE AS I SEE IT THE BEST SITUATION FOR THE COLTS IS TO LET THE YOUNG BOY WITH THE BUZZ CUT SHOULD TAKE THE HELM THAT IS THERE BEST SHOT AT WINNING FOR THIS SEASON BIG GUY DOESNT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES AND IS NOT A QB THE OTHER BOY ATLEAST CAN MOVE THE ROCK THE DEFENSE IS WAY AHEAD OF THE OFFENSE BUT THIS TEAM IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING THIS SEASON SO ITS REALLY JUST TO SEE WHO THEY GONNA KEEP AND WHO THEY ARE GONNA GET RID OF FOR NEXT SEASON. #13-SALSA IN THE SQUARE - ANOTHER TEAM THAT JUST DOESNT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES BUT ATLEAST HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT REACHING THE POST-SEASON THEN THE COLTS AS THIS TEAM IS MORE TOGETHER AND HAS SPEED AND TALENT BUT LIKE THE COLTS HAVE NO QB BUT HAVE SOME CHEMISTRY TOGETHER AND ARE FIESTY BUT SHOULD BE IN THE HUNT FOR THE LAST PLAYOFF SPOT TILL THE END AS LONG AS THE PUNISHERS AND SALSA ALLOW THEM BUT DONT THINK THE COLTS CAN WIN 2 GAMES WHICH IS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE IF NOT MORE BUT NO POST-SEASON FOR THE COLTS JUST NEED TO ADD MORE QUALITY PLAYERS AND A QB NEXT SEASON TO COMPETE WITH THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK IN THE BTFL. #13- SALSA IN THE SQUARE- NOT MUCH HERE AS THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE COLTS NOT MUCH BETTER BUT HAVE PLAYERS WHO HAVE PLAYED TOGEHTHER LONGER AND HAVE MORE TALENT BUT JUST LACK A QB AND SOME MORE TALENT TO BE SUCCESFUL THIS SEASON BUT CAN BE A TOUGH GROUP NEXT SEASON WITH A QB AND 2 SOLID BALL PLAYERS IF THEY COME BACK DEFINETLEY SHOULD BE HIGHER BUT NO QB KILLS THEM AS THE ARE A FIESTY SQUAD AND NEVER QUIT BUT WILL GIVE THE PUNISHERS A RUN FOR PLAYOFFS POSITION TO PLAY THE TOP SEED OR 2ND SEED IN THE PLAYOFFS BUT ONE AND DONE IN THIS TOUGH DIVISION. #12-PUNISHERS- THIS TEAM IS ALOT BETTER OFF THEN THE BOTTOM 2 TEAMS AS THEY HAVE SOME VETS AND SOME NICE YOUNG TALENT TO COMPETE BUT TOOK A BIG STEP BACK WHEN THEIR QB LEFT BUT THIS TEAM HAS ENOUGH TALENT TO HANG IN GAMES LIKE THE BOTTOM GAME CAUSE TEAMS WILL SLEEP ON THEM WITH NO QB BUT BUT SHOULD FALL SHORT IN THE END WHEN THE PLAYOFFS ROLL AROUND AS THE INEXPERIENCE AT THE QB POSITION LIKE IN THE BOTTOM GAME THEY WILL NEED TO HAVE THE QB GET THOSE XPTS OR DRIVE THEM DOWN THE FIELD THAT FINAL DRIVE OR COME FROME BEHIND AND THATS WHERE THIS TEAM WILL STUMBLE BUT SHOULD BE IN EVERY GAME BUT FALL SHORT ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE TOP TIER TEAMS AND A DEFENSE THAT IS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE BETTER TEAMS OFFENSE BUT DEFINITELY WAY AHEAD OF THE BOTTOM 2 TEAMS SOME DEFENSIVE SCHEMES AND A QB AND THIS TEAM CAN COMPETE IN THE BTFL NEXT SEASON BUT SHOULD BE A ROUGH REST OF THE SEASON UNLESS THEY FIND AWAY TO COME TO TERMS WITH THEIR FORMER QB TO SALVAGE THE SEASON ATLEAST AND MAYBE SURPRISE SOME TEAMS IN THE POST-SEASON. #11-SPARTANS- WELL THIS TEAM I THINK IS A LITTLE AHEAD OF THE PUNISHERS AS THEY HAVE A QB AND JUST AS MUCH IF NOT MORE TALENT THEN THE PUNISHERS THE ONLY THING I SEE WITH THEM IS THAT THE QB NEEDS TO FOCUS ON DROPPING BACK AND GETTING RID OF THE ROCK INSTEAD OF RUNNING AROUND SCRAMBLIN SO MUCH AS THEY HAVE SOME WEAPONS ON OFFENSE A BIG TARGET IN THAT GUY ROB AND CAN PLAY SOME DEFENSE JUST STILL GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO THE BTFL RULES AND HAVE TO JUST SHOW UP EVERY SUNDAY AND STOP PARTYIN TO REALLY MAKE SOME NOISE IF THIS TEAM CAN PUT IT TOGETHER AND FAST SHOULD BE ABLE TO SURPRISE A FEW TEAMS BUT DEFINETLY A SOLID TEAM COME NEXT SEASON AND COULD REALLY COMPETE WITH THE STRONGER TEAMS BUT IM HOPING THEY PULL OUT THE BATTLE FOR THE LAST PLAYOFF SPOT BUT IN THIS DIVISON IF THEY CAN GET ROLLING COULD PULL OFF A SHCOKER IF SOMEONE SLEEPS ON THEM IN THE 1ST ROUND BUT THAT AS FAR AS THEY GO AS THEY HAVE A TOUGHER BATTLE TO GET TO THE POST-SEASON 1ST BUT TALENT AND QB ARE A START. #10-ALLIANCE- THIS TEAM HAS THE TALENT TO COMPETE WITH ANYONE IN THE LEAGUE BUT HAVE SEEM TO HAVE LOST THEIR HUNGER TO PLAY AS THEY JUST SEEM OUT THERE TO HAVE FUN ONLY NOT WORRYING ABOUT WINNING AND WITH THE QB CAROUSEL THEY HAVE GOING DOESNT SEEM TO HELP AS THEY JUST CANT LEAVE THEIR QB IN LONG ENOUGH TO GET HIS RYTHM AS THEY JUST SEEM TO GIVE UP ON QBS TO FAST INSTEAD OF CHOSIN ONE AND STICK WITH HIM GAVIN SEEMS TO GIVE THEM THEIR BEST CHANCE AT WINNING PERIOD BUT HE JUST CANT SEEM TO GET ANY CHEMISTRY AND COMFORT ZONE WITH ONE OF THE EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS IN THE LEAGUE LOPEZ AS HE JUST DOESNT GET THE BALL IN HIS HANDS ENOUGH AS LOPEZ HAS BECOME A DEFENSIVE STAR AND HAS HAD TO SCORE ALMOST ALL HIS TDS ON SPECIAL TEAMS BUT HOW MANY KICK-OFF RETURNS CAN HE RETURN EVERY WEEK THIS TEAM JUST HAS TO FIND THAT HUNGER THEY HAD THE PAST FEW SEASONS AND GIVE GAVIN THE ROCK TO PASS ON TO LOPEZ AND THE FAST BLACK BOY AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO WINNING GAMES BUT THIS TEAM JUST LOOKS LOST RIGHT NOW AND DOESNT WORRY ANYONE LIKE IN YEARS PAST LIKE WHEN YOU PLAY THEM YOU HAD TO PLAY A HARD FOUGHT GAME FULL 40 MINS AGAINST THIS TEAM BUT SHOULD MAKE THE POST-SEASON BUT NOTHING PAST THE 1ST ROUND. #9-RAGERS- THIS TEAM STARTED OUT HOT BUT THINK IT WAS ALL TIMING FOR THEM AS THEY CAUGHT A 1ST SEASON TEAM IN WK#1 AND THEN THE HITMEN TOOK THEM LIGHTLY AS WHEN THEY PLAYED STIFF COMP LIKE THE WILDCATS AND WOLVERINES THEY SHOWED THEIR TRUE COLORS AS THIS TEAM IS PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER WITH NEW PLAYERS AND A NEW QB AS THEY WILL FIND THAT REPLACING THEIR BIG 3 FREE-AGENT LOSSES LAST SEASON MONSTERS INC AND ANDY WILL BE HARD AS I THINK TEAMS TAKE THEM LIGHTLY BECAUSE OF THAT WHICH WAS THE CASE EARLY ON BUT WILL NOT SURPRISE ANYONE BUT SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE LOW-TEIR TEAMS BUT WILL BE TESTED WHEN THEY FACE THE COLTS , SALSA & PUNISHERS AS THESE TEAMS FIGHT FOR THEIR PLAYOFFS LIVES AND SHOULD MAKE THE POST-SEASON BUT ONE AND DONE AS THEY JUST DONT HAVE ENOUGH FIREPOWER ON OFFENSE AS THEY WILL FIND OUT AND NOT GOOD ENOUGH ON DEFENSE IN THE END TO COMPETE WITH THE BIG DAWGS BUT SHOULD BEAT THE WEAKER ONES BUT DEFINETELY ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE WITH MORE TALENT. #8-HITMEN- WELL THIS TEAM IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT HAS TALENT AND SPEED ACROOS THE BOARD AND CAN MATCH-UP WITH ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE POUND FOR POUND BUT LACK THAT MOST IMPORTANT POSITION A QB AS A LAST SECOND SIGNING FELL THRU WHICH WOULD HAVE CATAPULTED THEM WITH THE BIG DAWGS BUT NOW HAVE TO GO WITH THE LESS CAPABLE CHOICE AS THEIR QB HAS VANISHED BUT WHEN YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST RECIEVERS IN THE GAME AND ALOT OF TALENT AROUND YOU WITH SHUTDOWN & WINDY CITY MATT IF SKEET CAN JUST INSTALL THE DINK AND DUNK OFFENSE LIKE THE WILDCATS TAKE LITTLE CHUNKS AND THEN GO TO THE MONEY MAN DESHON IN THE RED-ZONE THIS TEAM CAN STILL SALVAGE THEIR SEASON WITH NO QB BUT SHOULD EASILY BE IN THE PLAYOFFS TO MUCH TALENT NOT TO AND IF BY THE POST-SEASON CAN GET SOMETHING GOING OFFENSIVELY COULD SURPRISE AND BE A FORMIDABLE 1ST ROUND MATCH-UP FOR ANYONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL OFF ONE SURPRISE IN THE 1ST ROUND BUT NOT TWO AS THEM MAKING IT PAST THE 1ST ROUND WONT SURPRISE ME BUT WILL STUMBLE IN THE NEXT MATCH-UP DEPENDING ON UPSETS A DANGEROUS TEAM AND WHO THEY FACE IN THE WEAKER DIVISION IF THEY CAN GET THE DINK AND DUNK GOING. #7-BOTTOM- WELL NO SURPRISE HERE AS THE BOTTOM CONTINUE THEIR USUAL TRICKS AS THEY JUST PLAY CLOSE GAMES WINS SOME LOSE SOME BEAT SOME GOOD TEAMS LOSE TO SOME GOOD TEAMS AND BEAT THE BAD ONES AND JUST WAIT TILL THE PLAYOFFS ROLL AROUND AND SEE IF THEY CAN PULL OFF THEIR USUSAL TRICKS BUT DONT SEE IT HAPPENING THIS SEASON AS THEY TOTALLY LOOK DIFFERENT THIS SEASON BUT SHOULD BE THEIR IN THE END AND WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE THEN AS THEY TWO ARE ANOTHER ONE OF THE FEW TEAMS THAT CAN MATCH-UP MAN FOR MAN AND SPEED FOR SPEED TO TALENTED TO KICK TO THE SIDE TALENT ALONE KEEPS THEM IN TILL THE END . #6-XXX- WELL THIS TEAM HAS MANAGED TO BE AT THE TOP EARLY ON BUT DOES NOT LOOK NOWHERE NEAR THE XXX OF OLD AS ITS BEEN ALL DEFENSE THAT HAS WON THEM THEIR GAMES AND THE OFFENSE HAS BEEN STRUGGLING OF LATE WHICH SHOULD ONLY GET WORSE BUT SHOULD HANDLE ALL THE WEAK TEAMS BUT LIKE THE BOTTOM SHOULD BEAT SOME GOOD ONES AND LOSE TO SOME GOOD ONES A LOCK FOR THE PLAYOFFS IN A WEAK DIVISION BUT UP IN THE AIR WHEN THE PLAYOFFS ROLL AROUND IF THE VETERAN QB PA DOESNT GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER COULD BE AN EARLY EXIT FOR THE X-MEN AS THE DEFENSE WILL KEEP THEM IN MOST OF THEIR GAMES BUT WILL NEED THE OFFENSE TO STEP UP IF THEY PLAN ON GOING FAR IN THE PLAYOFFS BUT SHOULD BE AN EARLY EXIT. #5-WILDCATS- WELL THIS TEAM JUST KEEPS ON ROLLING AS IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE SUCCESSFULL WITHOUT A QB TAKE NOTE PLAY SOLID DEFENSE AND DINK AND DUNK THE BALL DONT ASK YOUR QB TO DO MUCH JUST NOT TURN THE BALL OVER AND PLAY THE FIELD POSITION GAME GET YOUR STAR PLAYER THE BALLIN THE GAME AND JUST WAIT FOR YOUR STAR PLAYER TO MAKE THAT GAME CHANGING INT OR RETURN LIKE WYTE DOES TO WIN IN THE END THIS TEAM WILL DEF BE IN THE PLAYOFFS AND COULD SURPRISE PEOPLE AGAIN AS THEY HANG CLOSE IN THE SECOND ROUND BUT IN THE END THE QB IS GONNA BE ASKED TO DRIVE THAT FINAL DRIVE BRING THEM BACK OR GET THAT GAME SEALIN 1ST DOWN LATE WILL HE ABLE TO DO IT AGAINST THE THE TOP TEAMS PAST THE 1ST ROUND WILL DEPEND IF THEY GO FURTHER BUT LIKE THE OUTLAWZ IN THE PAST HAVE A DEENSE TO KEEP THEM IN EVERY GAME AND EVEN WIN MOST OF THEM BUT FALL SHORT THE FURTHER THEY GO IN THE POST-SEASON. #4-WOLVERINES- WELL NOTHING SURPRISING HERE AS AS ALONG AS ACKER SHOWS UP THEY WILL BE HARD TO STOP THEM FROM WINNING THEIR 2ND TITLE IN A ROW AS THIS TEAM FINALLY IS BACK ON TRACK WITH ACKER IN THEIR AND SHOULD BE ROLLING ON ALL CYLINDERS COME THE PLAYOFFS AND SHOULD MAKE THE FINAL FOUR AGAIN ATLEAST BUT WOULDNT SURPRISE IF THEY RE-PEAT EITHER. #4-PREDATORS- WELL THE PREDDIES STARTED OFF ON A BAD NOTE BUT SINCE HAVE REGROUPED AND GOTTIN BACK ON TRACK AS THEY ARE ANOTHER ONE OF MY TEAMS THAT ARE STACKED ACROSS THE BOARD TALENT WISE AND SPEED WISE AS THEY CAN MATCH-UP WITH ANYONE IN THE LEAGUE MAN FOR MAN PLAY GREAT DEFENSE AS THEY HAVE ADDED THE BOSS BROS. AGAIN ALONG WITH GABE AND THE FAST SPANISH BOY AND IF TRUEHART CAN GET BACK TO BEING THE FORCE HE ONCE WAS TO AN ALREADY TALENTED BUNCH AS LONG AS JUSTIN CAN STAY FOCUSED AND NOT HAVE ANY BAD GAMES LATE THIS TEAM SHOULD REACH THE FINAL FOUR AND EVEN THE FINALS IF THEY CAN FIND THAT SWAGGER THEY PLAYED WITH IN YEARS PAST SHOULD BE A SOLID CONTENDER AS THEY DESTROY THE LOWER COMP TEAMS AS THEY DONT REALLY GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AGAINST WEAK JUST TEND TO NOT SHOW UP AGAINST THE BIG TEAMS LATELY IF JUSTIN IS ON POINT IN THE LATE POST-SEASON GAMES AGAINST THE ELITE TEAMS IN THEIR TOUGH DIVISION AS HE HAS STUMBLED AGAINST SOME STRONG TEAMS BUT THIS TEAM SHOULD MAKE THE FINAL 4 IF JUSTIN IS READY TO LEAD THEM TO THE CHIP OR DO WE HAVE ANOTHER PAUL IN THE MAKEING CRUMBLE IN THE BIG GAMES? #2-CAOS- WELL THE SYSTEM/NP PROJECT HAS LASTED NO SELF DESTRUCTION LIKE EXPECTED WITH PLAYING TIME AS THIS TEAM IS STACKED WITH TALENT AND IS THE LAST OF THE RARE TEAMS THAT HAS SPEED PROBABLY THE FAST BARE-NONE AND THE TALENT TO MATCH-UP MAN FOR MAN WITH ANY TEAM AND HAVE A SOLID QB IN RAT BUT THIS TEAM TEND TO PLAY DOWN TO ITS OPPONENTS LEVEL WHICH COULD BE THEIR ONLY WEAKNESS BESIDES FIGHTING OVER PLAYING TIME AND GETTING THE BALL WITH CERTAIN PLAYERS BUT IF THIS TEAM CAN GET BACK TO SMASH-MOUTH INTIMIDATING FOOTBALL ALONG WITH THE FAMOUS NP SCREENS THAT ARE UNSTOPPABLE IN THE PAST WITH FLASH,SUPERMAN & GIFT ARGUABLY THE 3 FASTEST IN THE LEAGUE CAN YOU IMAGINE THEM RUNING SCREENS TO EITHER SIDE AND THEN LINING UP THE 3RD IN THE MIDDLE RUNNING 3 SCREENS OOUCHH WHO CAN STOP IT CHAMP AND FRANK DOG BLOCKING WOW AND THEN THROWING IN THEIR BASIC DEEP BALL TO GIFT AND CHAMP DOING EVERYTHING ON BOTH SIDES AND COKE JUST KNOCKIN THE SNOT OUT OF PEOPLE AND IF RAT CAN GET THE MOSS BALL GOING WITH P.C. THIS TEAM JUST LOOKS UNSTOPPABLE BUT LIKE I SAID THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP CAOS IS A BUNCH OF CAOS AND NOT GET CAUGHT TAKING ANYONE LITELY CAUSE ONCE THE 2ND ROUND ROLLS AROUND THE ELITE TEAMS ARE LEFT JUST THAT 1ST ROUND IS GONNA BE THE HARDEST FOR THEM AS THEY SHOULD BE A FINAL 4 CANDIDATE IN THE END AND A SHOT AT A CHIP. #1 OUTLAWZ- WELL ITS PRETTY SIMPLE WITH THIS BUNCH DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE, BUT THIS TEAM HAS BEEN GIVING UP ALOT MORE POINTS THAN IN THE PAST AS IT WAS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT TO SCORE DOUBLE DIGITS ON THEM BUT THIS SEASON HAVE SEEM TO BE REAL GENOROUS BUT THATS WHY PAUL WAS BROUGHT IN TO SCORE POINTS AND UNLEASH THE BEAST IN "E" THE TALENTED TWO WAY STAR WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO THIS TEAM AS USUAL SHOULD BE IN IT IN THE END BUT THE BIG? WILL BE WILL THEY SCORE MORE THAN THEIR OPPONENT IN THE END WILL IT BE DESERT OR DISASTER FOR PAUL AS THE OUTLAWZ TRY TO GET OVER THAT MAJOR HUMP OF COLLAPSING IN THE FINALS BUT BRING SOMEONE IN WHO HAS BEEN THEIR AND GOT THERE DO THE OUTLAWZ OVERCOME I THINK THEY SHOULD FALL SHORT BUT ARE IN THE PERFECT DIVISION TO NOT MAKE THE FINALS AS IF THEY WERE IN THE OTHER NO WAY BUT IN THE FAVORABLE ONE SHOULD BE IN THE BIG DANCE ANYTHING ELSE IS A WASTE AS WE SEE IF PAUL CAN FINALLY WIN THE BIG ONE?
