Sp16 W6: Sunday Rained Out

Week Six Sunday was rained out, though two fields had been set up at Inwood. Apparently teams were content with their rankings. That’s surprising considering every standings-change except for a top to bottom swap is still possible. But let’s do a quick break down.

The Rejects hold the top spot and have beaten every other team at least twice. Their past four games have been bell ringers, putting up 59 points to the 24 of their four different opponents. Granted, these giant wins have had a lot to do with attendance, but The Rejects seem to be the here out favorites. (Avg PPG 13.1, Avg Margin 4.1)

wooloohooshoo has settled into an uneasy second place. They’ve gone 1-3 over their last four, and are just one game ahead of MTA. They’ve beaten every team but their first place rivals, but they’ll get two more chances. If they can fend off MTA and get a few more wins, 2nd is theirs. If some of those wins are against The Rejects, first isn’t out of the question. (Avg PPG 11.6, Avg Margin 1.8)

MTA has been a bit streaky. Their most recent two wins put a stop to three losses and gave them a winning record, third place, and a shot at the top. Three cancelations in a row may have smote their momentum, but they will certainly regain it with two wins this Sunday. They play the two teams aforementioned. (Avg PPG 11.6, Avg Margin 0.2)

The Chosen Ones, as discussed previously, are struggling. They’ve dropped six of the last seven. The good news is they’ve beaten every team but wooshoo. The bad news is their most recent losses were to BBQ and JAWS, and now those two teams are only one and two games respectively behind Chosen. (Avg PPG 10.6, Avg Margin -1.5)

BBQ has almost half their season remaining. They’re in fifth place, but they doubled their win count in W5 Sunday, and can blame most losses on lack of attendance. We might see a different BBQ over the next two and a half weeks. With a little help, they could easily get to the top half. (Avg PPG 10.9, Avg Margin -2.0)

JAWS enters the remainder of the season on a good note: their biggest win of the season. Opponents have been remarking confoundedly about JAWS all season: “That team should be good.” “They’ve got all the right pieces.” It’s a long shot, and a winning record is not possible, but building on their win is a must for the shark. Their schedule is favorable. Their next games go back and forth against the two teams they most recently beat, and it happens to be the two just above them. (Avg PPG 9.6, Avg Margin -2.9)

Sure, somebody’s got to be the loser, but this is Comp League. Everybody should assume they’ll be the winner. Go get it.
