Sorry I haven't kept up on this lately, I got busy again with school work. Good news is, I have 3 days this week and then a break for the weekend. I should be able to update at some point, I'd say look for it between the Cup games on Tuesday and the League games on Saturday.

Didn't see that one coming. That will definitely affect the ratings that I'm hoping to have out sometime later today or tomorrow.

With it being thanksgiving, no guarantees on when, but it will definitely be sometime soon while I'm on break.

It's been a few weeks since I last updated this, so I figured it was time to do it again.

Since last time, we've one team(Minang) go bot, but other that there has been no huge change. Wekas Warriors, on the strength of their 13-2 record and the fact that they're still in the Cup take over the 5th spot.

1 Tazdevils 15-0 578-84 2.3

This is probably one of the better teams overall on gridiron. They just beat you in so many different ways. Quarterback Sean Siegert is one of the better dual threat QB's in the world, passing for 2196 yards and 29 TD's while rushing for 809 and 10. But the offense doesn't stop there. Running backs Jaxson Neitz and Patrick Griffin have 1865 and 1598 yards respectively, and between them have combined 35 TD's. Add in Royal Feaster, and the Devils have rushed for 4671 yards and 51 TD's! But the passing game is not to be taken lightly, led by primary reciever Brian Boak and his 33 catches for 1302 yards and 18 TD's.

Their 4-3 has done a great job shutting down opponents on the season, and strong LB and DL play is no small reason why. The line is led by Leslie McDonald and Stuart Lanceley, combining for 136 tackles, while linebackers Antoni Tymms and Hamish Barnett have combined for 105 more stops and a sack. As the Cup comes to a close, it will take a team with a great defense and an offense who can put up close to 30 points on a great defense to beat this team. While not impossible, it will be hard to do, and that's why they are still my pick for the Regional Cup champion.

2 Fernee's 49ers 14-1 392-49 Top Division

The winner of what looks to be the championship game of the top division over our 4th place team 2 weeks ago, the 49ers run a balanced singleback offense. Quarterback Harrison Hargrave has passed the 2000 yard mark with 2009 while throwing for 29 TD's. Running back Stuart Frost has carried the bulk of the rushing load, and has 2356 yards and 23 yards to show for it. The primary reciever is TE Charlie Munn, who has caught 21 balls for 901 yards and 14 TD's.

They run a 5-3 defense featuring 3 DT's which shuts down the run, but leaves them suceptible to the pass. DL Igor Plahutnik and LB's Cody Liebman and Brendan Suckling lead the way, combining for 154 tackles on the season. While this is a defense that can be exploited with a strong passing game, they have only given up 49 points on the year, meaning no one has done a great job of doing it yet.

3 Baltimore Stampede 14-1 321-31 2.2

Do you like defense? How about a smashmouth offense? If you answered yes to those 2 questions, then the Baltimore Stampede is the team for you. Led by RB Glenn Hurley and his 2594 yards and 24 TD's, this team believes that the best offense is a great defense; and they've used it to win 14 games.

While everyone on this defense is good, 3 that stand out are DL Taylor Garnder, LB Arthur Dunn, and LB Fraser Voss. The trio has combined for 163 tackles and 2 INT's on the season. This team suffered a heartbreaking 7-0 Cup loss in the last round, showing that while a great defense can take you a long way, you need to be able to score some points to win a championship.

4 Razorbacks 13-2 535-48 Top division.

Outside of 2 losses to number 2 Fernee's 49ers and a Cup loss, this team has been unstoppable. Leading their pro style offense are 2 young QB's by the names of Gilbert Brake and Laurence Gilmore. Combined, they have thrown for 1771 yards and 24 TD's, primarily to 2 receivers; WR Ben Bootsma(25 catches, 764 yards, 10 TD) and TE Ernie Fabyini(25 catches, 1138 yards, 14 TD). But leading the offense is RB Grant Ward, who will likely eclipse both the 3000 yard and 40 TD marks in his next game. He needs just 77 more yards and 2 TD's to get both.

This team runs a 3-4 defense, and it all starts up front with DL Will Mayne(75 tackles) and Ben Deluca(84 tackles). While I haven't checked every team in every division of every region, it's hard to imagine many players with more tackles than Deluca's 84, and I doubt very many more teams have 2 players with 75+. Add in LB Lancelot Mayne and his 60 tackles, and it's easy to see why this team has held opponents to just over 3 points a game.

5 Wekas Warriors 13-2 321-117 2.1
The Warriors join this weeks rankings on the strength of their strong record and Cup standing. But don't take this team lightly, they are good. Their offense is led by RB Jeremy Cowen and his 1891 yards and 20 TD's. Quarterback Phil Gibbon is no slouch, adding 1473 yards and 18 TD's through the air, while spreading the ball around to 3 different recievers, all with over 10 catches and 4 or more TD's. With a strong running game and a balanced passing game, this could be an offense who can hold their own against the Tazdevils strong defense this week.

Running a 4-3, this defense is all about the linebackers. The trio of Ben Van Diggelle, Jesse Leota, and Blake Gregorious have combined for 143 tackles, 3 sacks, and an interception, while each of the 3 have a sack. This week they get the tough test of trying to shut down the Tazdevils offense in the Cup semifinals. If any defense can do it, it may be this one with the strong LB play.

My miracle has happened I'm now back up to 1st place and hopefully i can stay here for the next two weeks.
