WEEK EIGHT FLOWBEE POWER RANKINGS:

We are past the halfway point of the fantasy season and play time is over!

Let's break things down as we hit the back nine...er, six.

• While the divisions are randomly selected and just for scheduling purposes, I think it's fun to note that the top three teams, or the scream of the crop, are owl in the same division.

          

• Will and Nate will meet once more and this week is the first of tomb meetings between Dave and Will, witch could, could, put Nate in the driver's seat for the #1 seed. We're still a ways off from worrying about that though.
• Oh wait, let's not forget Pete, who joins the Big Three from Division 3 in the 5-2 club. Nate grave Pete's his first loss since week two.
• This week Pete faces Ryan 'King Dread" Kindred, hoot has joined the "tough break" club as he now has the honor of having the most points scored against him on the season thanks in large part to the last four weeks...
• Over the past four weeks, Ry Guy (not to be confused with Hall of Famer Ray Guy) has had opposing scores of 172.5, 174, 163 and 174.3.
• As we close in on teams thinking about magic numbers we are also getting close to crunch time for the bottom half of the league.
• Even at 1-6, Larry is not close to being out of the playoff "witch" hunt. Larry is boo, er, two games out of the last playoff spot with six games to go.
• Looking at Larry's last six games, he only faces one team with a winning record, witch may give him an ex-skull-ent shot at sneaking into the playoffs.
• De-gory-a looks to have the toughest finish of the bottom six, facing teams with a winning record in four of the last six games, including a three game stretch against Division 3 in weeks 10-12.
• Here are the records and winning percentages the bottom six will be facing.

           Deloria- 22-20 (Four opponents with winning records)

           Kyle- 21-21 (Three opponents with winning records

           Brandon- 19-23 (Three opponents with winning records)

           Ryan- 19-23 (Two opponents with winning records)

           Jon- 19-23 (Three opponents with winning records)

           Larry- 18-24 (One opponent with winning record)

Alright, without further ado, let's get to the rankings...

1) Shirley TBD (5-2)- Most points in the league headed into week 8, and of the top three teams he has the easiest remaining schedule. That #1 seed is in Nate's sights, but Nate is gonna just play it...

2) Kupp the Bilals (5-2)- Currently in the two spot but not confident that this team stays there. But I am as calm  as can be..

3) Carnal Fruitarians (5-2)-  A slow start to the season, Davey D is on fire and is gonna be a tough our, until my Patrick Maholmes voodoo doll arrives in the mail.

4) Salem Salad Tossers (4-3)- Steve's team just hasn't been clutch thus far, but he believes in his team and knows he will be right in the thick of things when it comes to crunch time.

As long as he doesn't have to face...

5) Dirty Tube Socks (5-2)- We have constantly discussed Pete having had some good luck thus far, but while the record may be a bit lucky, the PRs still think this squad is a contender. And you know what, Pete, maybe your 5-2 record is a tad lucky, but hey is that your fault?

The next three squads are dangerous squads at times, but we don't really know what to make of them...

6) team kindred (2-5)

7) Londonderry Lumberjacks (4-3)

8) Team Deloria (3-4)

 Some weeks they can be good, others, not so much.

Now onto the basement.

Well, this ain't the Alamo, nor will any of these teams be nearly as memorable...

9) Multiple Scorgasms (2-5)

10) Bay State Brandinos (3-4)

11) Hudson Deplorables (1-6)

12) the pot roasters (3-4)

But hey, I broke down their rest of season schedule and as we have seen in this league, make the playoffs and you have yourself a good chance.

Alright...

WEEK FIVE ODOR EATER POWER RANKINGS; DECORPO BROTHERS, WHERE ART THOU?

Good day, ladies and germs! Welcome back to another edition of your Odor-Eaters Power Rankings!

That's right folks....

A lot's happened in the last couple weeks and I'll try and get to all of it...

• Brando nabbed his first win of the season, narrowly avoiding the worst start of his career.
• Not only that, but Brandon's win knocked Nate from the ranks of the unbeaten.

• Staying with the Franchitto clan, Nate also lost last week as well
• In fact the Franchittos are 1-5 over the last two weeks and the one win is Brandon over Nate
• Good news for the Franchittos fam though...Nate plays Larry this week in 2018 Franchitto Bowl II

      

• On the other side of the coin you have Pete's Dirty Tube Socks who knocked Deloria from the unbeatens...

          

• And also knocked off Steve two out of the last three weeks.

 

• So that means 75% of Pete's wins this season are against DeCorpos
• No one has had fewer points scored against them this season than Pete
• Wedged in between his Pete losses, Steve had the highest scoring week four.
• Meanwhile the other DeCorpo is on a tear, winning three in a row and only yours truly has more points scored during his winning streak.

Alright, dem's the apps, let's get onto the main course...The Odor-Eaters Week Five Power Rankings

1. Kupp the Bilals (4-1)- The loss to Nate in week one, much like most of the things Nate does, is basically just a minor inconsequential speed bump, now. Not only is my squad the top scoring team in the league and not only is it the only team to be in the top three in scoring each week this season, but I'm also the top scoring owner over the past three seasons. If we get back to the present and this season, I have the only team that has eclipsed 150 points in all five weeks. But what you all have going for you is that only one team that has finished the regular season with the most points for has won the championship. That was Deloria back in 2012. Couple that with the fact I have never won a playoff game and you guys may actually have hope.

Oh and for the first time this season I am not projected to win, so you have that going for ya...

2. Shirley TBD (3-2)- It's slowly gone down hill since week one for Natelynn. Before last week he had put up a lower score than the previous week in three straight weeks. Got that?

Okay, here's something easier to understand...the number two, as in how many consecutive losses Nate now has. Good thing he has the Deplorable Me (aka Larry) this week.

3. Salem Salad Tossers (2-3)- Hey when he doesn't face Pete he's almost undefeated. This DeCorpo brother is favored to beat me this week though and a win there could really shake up The Odor Eater Power Rankings

4. Carnal Fruitarians (3-2)- Dave-O spotted the league two games and now he is off and running!

        

5. team kindred (2-3)- Three straight losses for the Ry Guy has his squad fading in the rankings and if he loses this week he'll be falling further down the rankings and scrambling for a playoff spot.

6. The Dirty Tube Socks (4-1)- I know Pete is 4-1, but as I mentioned no team has had fewer points scored against them this season, so the Odor-Eaters Power Rankings think a wee spot of luck has been involved. But on a plus side, look what popped up when I searched for "dirty tube sock"

7. Team Deloria (3-2)- Back-to-back losses and an unfavorable matchup this week against...

8. Londonderry Lumberjacks (3-2)- DeCoste's season has been a real up and down one thus far...

Making him a reallll..

Okay now we get to the bottom four...or as I like to call them the Island of Misfit Fantasy Teams...

These teams have all shown flashes of something, but in the end they just haven't been able to keep up with the rest of the league and, as we approach the half way point of the fantasy season, need to worry about making the playoffs.

9. Multiple Scorgasms (2-3)-

10. Hudson Deplorables (1-4)

11. Bay State Brandinos (1-4)

12. the pot roasters (2-3)
