So this is my second list of worst to best teams in the league. Since the best I can do is piss off a playoff time by beating them I can fairly evaluate potential league leaders.
From worst to best with seeding:
8 Tictac(down 1): Clearly looking to own the first pick in the Season 27 draft
8 Clerics (down 1): They obviously don't give a crap. They won't be in Div III long. They have to have close to 4M saved.
7 Owls (up 2): With beating Tictac they are 1-6. Paying salary floor right now.
7 Thumpers (down 5): Not sure what is going on with this team. I'm hoping they decide they don't want to play in Div II anymore.
6 Smallfries (no change): With only 4 players above 10K they look to be locked and loaded for 6th place.
6 Mcfatties (down 1): Team could have been 5-2 to start. But two injuries led to close losses. With roster additions to other teams they look locked into 6th place.
5 Pistons (down 1) : They just added a bench player for cup purposes I'm sure.
5 Warriors (up 2): With their recent addition of an NT USA player, they are clearly looking to stay in Div II. They should still have plenty of cash if they are looking to add more players. Still adding to arena which is a good idea in their situation.
The playoff teams:
4 Lethargy (down 2): They look playoff bound. But with everyone in their rotation being members of the stone-age they will likely not be moving up to 3rd.
4 Silverbacks (down 6). I was completely wrong about this team. From the looks of it they have some balance issues. They have an expensive roster, but its still somewhat short on the bench. Losing to the Snowbirds while playing a 5 man rotation doesn't earn them many points in my book.
3 Snowbirds (down 1): They were lucky to beat the Silverbacks. Unfortunately their best player out for 2 weeks hurts. They will likely lose at least 1 winnable game due to this enough to push them down a notch.
2 Rabbits (up 3): With a recent victory over GS they look to be solidly placed as the second seed in the Division. Picking up a 130,000 salary player certainly helps their chances against the Big 8.
3 Clogs (down 1): I really feel for them losing in OT. What makes me place them here is there schedule vs the Great 8. They do have the most favorable schedule for the Big 8 games though which does matter as well. They could still land in 1st.
2 Mammals (up 5) : They are in first place in the Big 8 thanks to an OT win over Clogs. However, having to win with OT at home certainly shows that they may have a slightly worse team than the Clogs. I love the schedule they have vs the Great 8.
1 Yuck (up 2): Having the mammals at home later this season helps their chances but having to play the clogs away hurts. 1-3 in the Big 8 is pretty much anyone's guess. An injury will probably decide the fate.
1 GS Warriors (up 1): They are #1 by default. Simply because the Big 8 have three teams that will likely counter each other.
Tons of balance at the top. Key injuries will knock out some from earning the top spot. The top 5 teams IMO still have a chance to have the best record at season end.
