Another week of Elite Eight and Best of the Rest comin' at yah!
POWER RANKINGS (Week Seven- The Elite Eight Edition):
1. Walking Fire Exits (5-1) : Flip Flop validated. He didn't need a lot to win last week, but win he did. Russ stays on top of the rankings for another week and it's beginning to look a lot like 2005. I will say that the Fritos have found a way to win ugly, and it's going to have to be a quality win to upset the Exits with his Wideouts looking like they could blow up at any point.
2. Falling Candy Bars (5-1) : I am an idiot. Ian won. It wasn't pretty, but it was a win. This week he takes on Sam's April Fools team which is red hot. We'll see which way both teams are going based on the performances this week. Does Indy and Peyton light 'em up and keep Ian up top? We'll see...
3. Chainsaw Jugglers (4-2) : As predicted, the Jugglers won a great one facing off against Crazy Ass Tartar and outlasting them in a game that totaled over 160 points. This week he'll face an inconsistent Turtlenecks team that could be hot. I see the Jugglers keeping serve and winning this one to make a statement in favor of moving up the Power ladder.
4. 2,000 Rice (4-2) : I think that this is kind of like last year where I voted against Scott and he won and I voted for him and he lost. Despite a loss to Fresh, I think that this team is going to be a strong runner in the playoffs.
5. $2 Bills (4-2) : Okay, so Brian went off the charts last week scoring over a hundred points and twice that of his Texas Grilled opponent. This week, I'm the poor soul that has to face him. Let's just say that Brian may move up with a win this week that he'll probably get. *sigh*
6. Temporarily Stairs (3-3) : From one loss of mine to another... last week the Stairs got a solid win against the hapless Commish. With a testing matchup against Chris this week he could turn the corner on this season and get into championship form.
7. Texas Grilled Fritos (4-2) : Despite losing last week Mark is staying put in the Elite Eight. Losing when another team scores 110 points should make you lose too many spots and with a matchup against the number 1 ranked team in the league, the Fritos have a chance to prove themselves.
8. April Fools (3-3) : This team is hot as they come right now and Sam's moves so far this season look like they are beginning to pay off. He has a tought matchup against Ian this week, but he has some good matchups that could prove the key to his most important win yet this season. Can he overcome Peyton and Adrian Peterson this week? Tune in.
Best of the Rest:
9. That's a Fresher (4-2): Ugly wins keep Fresh moving up the Rankings. Trust 'em? Hmm.
10. Soccer 'N' Shishkabob (3-3): They got crushed by Kyle last week and are sinking fast.
11. Crazy Ass Tartar (2-4): My Friend Tom Clark needs to catch a break soon.
12. Your Friends @ Yoplait (2-4): Scoring 50 and losing by 30. Crap in a hat.
13. I Hate Turtlenecks (2-4): Paul has been falling like a brick and his luck doesn't look like it's going to turn around this week.
14. The Dill Devils (2-4): A win over the tough luck Soccer and Shishkabob keeps him down the list.
15. The Sponge Ruiners (1-5): Let's hope something will work. At least I've won one.
16. Severed Foot (0-6): Winless is worse than hopeless.
The Commish's Game of the Week? Too many good games to count. I dub thee Rivalry Week.
Mitchelly Yours,
The Commish

Mitch League Preview: Week 6
Another week of Elite Eight and Best of the Rest comin' at yah!
POWER RANKINGS (Week Six- The Elite Eight Edition):
1. Walking Fire Exits (4-1) : Am I flip-flopping a bit? Hell yes. Are Chad and Randy going to light 'em up this week? Hell yes. I would write more, but I think that I'll see whether or not the ranking is founded next week.
2. Falling Candy Bars (4-1) : How do you win and still drop a spot? Well, it's not that complicated. Ian won last week in convincing fashion over Carl, but I still think that he is lacking that certain something that could keep him on top. Additionally, with Peyton out this week and some banged up WR it could be a tough week.
3. Chainsaw Jugglers (3-2) : Even with the loss last week to Ian, Carl is still tearing it up. Look for him to rebound this week with a win over a tough Crazy Ass Tartar team if Daunte can light 'em up and the Philly D can have another field day with the Jets.
4. 2,000 Rice (4-1) : Okay, so I think it works this way between Chris and I; I make fun of Chris in some fashion and then he proves me wrong. After making a joke about lack of points, 2,000 Rice went out and put a whupping on Kyle scoring 75. I think this week I'll move him up two spots and just keep my mouth shut. Congrats.
5. Temporarily Stairs (2-3) : Another tough loss last week, but I still think this is the most underrated team in the league. At 2-3 you're not going to win championships, but sooner or later this team has to find some luck.
6. Texas Grilled Fritos (4-1) : Mark, I've been dogging you all season and your team, like last year, just keeps finding a way to win. Despite having 140 points less that Russ he has the same record... winning ugly? Looks pretty damn good to me. I'm going to put you at number 6. Don't make me regret it punk!
7. Soccer 'N' Shishkabob (3-2) : Ben lost a heart breaker last week with some of his boys radically under performing, but what can you do? The answer: umm, according to his lineup as of now, hope that Jamarcus Russell gets in the game? Hmmm.
8. $2 Bills (3-2) : Last week I had My Friend Tom Clark here, but it seems with a couple losses and a couple wins for Brian, the fortunes have changed. The Bills really lit up the Devils last week and are featured in The Commish's Game of the Week. Let's see if those two newcomers live up to the hype!
Best of the Rest:
9. April Fools (2-3): The Fools move up a couple spots after rebounding against the winless Feet.
10. I Hate Turtlenecks (2-3): After cracking into the Elite 8 they had a tough outing. Ouchies.
11. That's A Fresher (3-2): Ugly wins? I'm moving him up. You never know when he'll get hot.
12. Your Friends @ Yoplait (2-3): How do you go from 28 points to 62 in one week? Practice!
13. Crazy Ass Tartar (2-3): Tom has to turn this boat around and has a tough game against Carl.
14. The Dill Devils (1-4): One of these days Kyle is going to get back and I think this is that day.
15. Severed Foot (0-5): What's worse: Winless or Hopeless?
16. The Sponge Ruiners (1-4): ...so you're saying there's a chance... No? Alrighty then.
The Commissioner's Game of the Week:
So this doesn't look much like a Game of the Week on paper. In fact, I see the Bills winning most convincingly. The thing is, if Mark and his Fritos can upset the Bills and come away with a win somehow, this could cement his spot on top and change the landscape of the league. Can a banged up Ronnie Brown and Lendale White outshine LT and the Edge? I don't think so, but if they do, look for the Fritos to take a leap in the rankings and contend for a title this year. I dub thee, Game of the Week.
Prediction: Bills 69, Fritos 59
Well, there it is again. Sunday update, just in time for kickoff. I will be up in Minnesota giving two talks this week so if you live there and feel like some Mitch League love, give me a buzz. Hopefully it will allow me to get these done a bit earlier, but probably not. Either way, until next week, I remain...

Mitch League Preview: Week 5
Well, I've done it again and waited until the last minute on this. I guess that means that we'll do a quick Elite Eight and then the Best of the Rest as I'm going to call it which will consist of a basic ranking of the lower 8 teams
POWER RANKINGS (Week Five- The Elite Eight Edition):
1. Falling Candy Bars (3-1) : Let's put it this way. I'm an old school rankings buff. If you knock off the number one team and you're near the top what does that make you? That's right, number one. Peyton didn't quite make it to 30, but it certainly wasn't for lack of trying. Can he hold off number 3 Carl and maintain his number one spot or will there be a new number 1 next week? Stay tuned.
2. Walking Fire Exits (3-1) : Despite the heartbreaker last week, Russ is probably still the team to beat. With waiver savvy and a great draft, he has Moss running on all cylinders and next week will have Chad Johnson putting on the Fire suit to complete the scariest receiver combo in Mitch League.
3. Chainsaw Jugglers (3-1) : As predicted Carl continues to roll. While it may cost him to not drop someone and pick up a defense, he has excellent players on his bench and a bye week that would scare anyone in Week 5. Even if he loses, I'd still consider him a top threat when he's at full strength next week.
4. Soccer 'N' Shishkabob (3-1) : Did you hear about that Aussie couple that wanted to name their baby 4 Real because the experience was so amazing that they wanted his name to embody that? Well, I said last week that Ben had to get back some byes to cement his spot. Welcome back to the show dogg.
5. Temporarily Stairs (2-2) : Consider T-Stairs stung, but not out. It's not that he didn't score last week, it's just that he didn't score enough to stop the white hot I Hate Turtlenecks team. Anyhow, I think that Romo goes to Buffalo and throws around the Bills secondary like a ragdoll.
6. 2,000 Rice (3-1) : Like I said earlier. You beat someone and you're a contender, you're going to get their spot. I guess that Chris took what I said personally last week about the flossing joke and went out and put a hurting on Tom. And by hurting I mean a matchup that produced a total of less than 80 points. Ha!
7. I Hate Turtlenecks (2-2) : Let's be honest. We all went... huh. When Paul drafted the Bears D first, we laughed, we cried, we shot soda out our nose. Looking back at the draft you could say the he Homer'd it with some hometown picks, but with the top 5 running backs running like your grandma Paul is thriving with a solid D and some great efforts from his position players? Could he be the Fresher of 2007?
8. Crazy Ass Tartar (2-2) : Okay, so maybe he didn't floss the way he should have, but My Friend Tom Clark still believes in good dental hygiene AND a team that should continue to win. Facing off against Russ he's going to have a tall order to fill this week, but if he wins, you will see this team in the Top 5 next week.
Best of the Rest:
9. Texas Grilled Fritos (3-1): These aren't win rankings. Those are three ugly wins.
10. The Dill Devils (1-3): A tough loss for a team that is better than their record.
11. $2 Bills (2-2): This team is upcoming, but still off to a slow start.
12. April Fools (1-3): Had a really bad week last week, but looking to rebound.
13. Your Friends @ Yoplait (1-3): Did last week really happen? 28.10 points? Dayum.
14. That's A Fresher (2-2): Like I said, not a win ranking, a power ranking. Ugly wins are still wins.
15. Severed Foot (0-4): They'll get off the snide eventually.
16. The Sponge Ruiners (1-3): ...so you're saying there's a chance...
The Commissioner's Game of the Week:
After defeated Russ' undefeated Walking Fire Exits last week, Ian and his Falling Candy Bars hope to keep their winning ways going with a defenseless Chainsaw Jugglers team. That's not to say that Carl will be unprotected or without teeth in this matchup. He's got a couple of good matchups that could yield some points and if Maurice Jones-Drew ever wakes up from his pipe dream enough to bust out a big game, this would be the week to do it. Having implications on the rest of the season on top. I dub thee, Game of the Week.
Prediction: Bars 62, Jugglers 57
Hope this is entertaining and you're actually reading it. I'll try to get it up midweek after I get my GIS project done and my house off to permit. Until then, I remain...
