Week 12 Real Rankings

NOTES
- At this point last year, the top 8 in the Real Rankings were the same 8 that went on to the playoffs. Now, keep in mind, the difference between 8th and 9th place is currently half a game and there's still 9 weeks -- or 90 "games" -- left in the regular season. Still, just thought that was an interesting tidbit.

- The rich get richer with Mike and I on top the Real Ranks this week, although that's not saying a lot as the 4.5 average is lowest average score for a leading team since Week 1.

- For the first week in quite a while, the team with the greatest discrepancy in the Real Ranks and the Actual Standings isn't Pierce. Looks like Kyle is getting the shaft in terms of where he is in the standings and where he is in the ranks.

- Overall, the Real Rankings are pretty close to the Actual Standings in terms of the top 8 teams. There are two discrepencies, as the Real Ranks say Moose and Angry should be in, but the standings show Cowhide and Ring.

- Averages over the last four weeks shows Jason's 1-9-0 week is reflective of his recent slide, as he is 9th in Real Ranks over the recent stretch.

Last 4 Weeks:

1	Montezuma's	4.9
2	Keepin it REAL.	5.2
3	I Ate Munchkins	5.5
4	Sexual Napalm	6.0
5	Ring of Fire	6.8
6	Donkey Punchers	7.0
7	Cowhide Joyride	7.0
8	Anal Hershiser	7.2
9	One Nut Wonders	7.8
10	M. Ehrman-Trout	7.9
11	Urban Achievers	8.1
12	Moose is Loose!	8.4
13	Prestige Wrldwd	9.0
14	The Angry Pirates	9.1

- Looking at the first six weeks of the year compared to the last six seeks, Jason's real rank was 5.4 in the first six and 7.8 in the last, which is the largest difference in the league. Meanwhile, Pierce's squad has made significant improvements to help justify his place in the standings, and Chris Shomphe's team has rebounded nicely from the early duldrums.

	Team	First 6	Last 6	Diff			Team	First 6	Last 6	Diff
1	Keepin it REAL...	8.30	6.15	+2.15		14	One Nut Wonders	5.38	7.83	-2.45
2	I Ate The Munchkins	7.95	5.82	+2.13		13	The Angry Pirates	6.40	8.02	-1.62
3	Cowhide Joyride	7.78	6.68	+1.10		12	Urban Achievers	7.17	8.43	-1.27
4	Sexual Napalm	5.87	5.22	+0.65		11	Moose is Loose!	6.70	7.50	-0.80

 
- Should have another interesting number breakdown ready today or tomorrow. It shows everyone's real rank by category. This should give you a pretty clear indication where your club might need improvement and where you might have a surplus.
