Mitch League Preview: Week 7

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
