Week 11 Rundown

These standings look awfully familiar to the ones of 2 weeks ago. It’s like nothing happened in between the two weeks

1. Kiss Da Baby (7-4): This is disgusting. Dead last in the breakdown and only 4 points away from being the lowest scoring team, Sam is the #1 seed. Over the past 8 weeks this team has topped 106 points twice. Has allowed 115 fewer points than the next lowest team. An absolute embarrassment to the league.

2. Johnson’s Farm (7-4): Heartbreaking Week 11 loss and Week 1 loss to Sam has the Farm in the 2 hole. Similar to two weeks ago, owns tiebreakers over both TPG and King so Nick gets this spot. A week 12 loss to TPG will pretty much remove this team from the possibility of a bye.

3. The King’s Crusaders (7-4): Heading into Monday night, the King was looking at the possibility of even missing the playoffs without securing a victory. Matt Schaub came up huge and the King has jumped into the top wildcard spot due to points tiebreaker with TPG.

4. Tequila Party Gnomes (7-4): Tough Week 11 loss to the thunderous Baby. TPG has now lost 3 of 5 and is slowly creeping down the wild card chain. Should still be fine for the playoffs but needs to get on a roll. Dropping down the points scored list also does not suit TPG well.

5. Coach Janky Spanky (6-4-1): Well this certainly threw a wrench in the wild card race. Every year in the EFFL there has been a tie, and every year it makes it easier to avoid tiebreakers. Janky Spanky can pass either the Farm or TPG with a win (provided no tie again). This team controls its destiny and still has a shot to win the division due to Week 13 matchup with the King

6. Stanky Monkeys (6-5): Put together a solid Week 11 to fight off a big week from the Eyepatches. Winners of 4 straight, this is a team that clearly wants to be in the playoffs. The last two weeks are huge as they play the current #5 and #8 teams but looking strong for the time being.

7. Tweeting In The Trenches (5-6): Brutal loss to the King on Monday night. Never pick up your opponents scrubs and start them. The TITTY is looking a little tender right now and must defeat the streaking Pylons to stay alive. Due to the teams near him in the standings playing each other, has a real shot to get in with a win.

8. The Jackson Five (4-6-1): Wow what a heartbreaking tie. This team is not out of it at all, however. We will see our first Stanky-Janky Spanky matchup in Week 12, and seeing as the Five do play the Monkeys in Week 13, this team still has a shot. If EEB defeats Lou this week and the Five can take care of business against the Baby, we could be looking at a win and in game week 13. This is still totally wide open.

9. Dueling Pylons (3-8): Got a huge win in week 11 to get out of the EFFL basement for the first time in a long time. Still looking to cause damage around the league as this team can really affect playoff seedings with a strong showing. Finally broke the 6 game losing streak.

... and I’m just gonna leave what I wrote last week because the same exact thing has happened again to the Eyepatches. He would be 7-4 with Sam’s schedule. She would be 3-8 with his.

10. Animals With Eyepatches (2-9): 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.
