Playoffs Week 10

Here’s a little preview of where we stand. Only 2 games separate 1st place from 7th place so nothing has been settled yet.

1. Johnson’s Farm (7-3): Solidifying themselves as a top team in the EFFL, now has won 3 straight and looking good as the #1 seed. Still owns head to head tiebreaker over TPG so would earn the bye based on that.

2. Kiss Da Baby (6-4): Somehow Sam is in the #2 slot and in line for a first round bye. In actuality, this team is only one game ahead of being out of the playoffs. I know everyone is pulling for Sam seeing as she is a cupcake team come playoff time, but this is ridiculous. Most undeserving spot of all teams.

3. Tequila Party Gnomes (7-3): Now one of only two teams with a 7-3 record, TPG got a much needed win against the cellar dwelling Pylons. With Sam, Nick, and Jimish as the last 3, TPG has to be feeling good about themselves.

4. The King’s Crusaders (6-4): Took another loss in week 10 and has the #4 seed based on tiebreaker over Janky Spanky. This team is coming crashing down to earth and could be in a world of hurt if they can’t stop the bleeding. Huge game with TITTY this week.

5. Coach Janky Spanky (6-4): Now winners of 6 of 7, Janky Spanky has actually taken over the overall EFFL points lead and is currently in line for the $30 prize. In a critical spot now, however, as there are a bunch of teams right in the thick of the wild card chase. The EEB-Woody first round playoff matchup remains in tact.

6. Stanky Monkeys (5-5): If that’s not how you do it, then I don’t know fantasy football. Put up 91 points, come away with a victory, and sneak into the #6 slot. I know TPG does not wanna see this team in the first round, but Stanky can’t be feeling confident. 6 of the last 8 weeks this team has scored 106 or less.

7. Tweeting In The Trenches (5-5): Crushing defeat to the Five in Week 10. Really could’ve used a win and is now right in the middle of the hunt. The schedule is not much kinder down the way and this is a team I feel is in real danger of missing the playoffs.

8. The Jackson Five (4-6): Well look what we have here. The Five have now won 3 of 4 and got an enormous week 10 win over TITTY. Now only a game out of a playoff spot this team has to like their chances. Just pointing this out, but week 13 Monkeys-Five… In the past 5 weeks this team has put up 128+ 4 times. Only Janky Spanky has performed as well. This could be a very scary team if they get in.

9. Animals With Eyepatches (2-8): This team just can’t catch a break. Puts up 120 again and loses. If I had my way, Kiss Da Baby and the Eyepatches would be switched in positions. This will now mark 2 out of 3 seasons the Eyepatches have missed the playoffs. They haven’t been to the semifinal round since 2006 and have never won more than 8 games in a season. Sorry Jimbo. See you next season.

….and still

10. Dueling Pylons (2-8): The Pylons 2009 goose has been cooked by TPG. What a disappointing and dismal season for a team that really felt poor at the draft. Down years do happen, and this storied franchise will no doubt be back next year. Looking to wreak havoc as spoiler the last few weeks.
