Week 20 Real Rankings

NOTES

It’s a close race to the finish with several teams jockeying for position and the #1 overall spot and 25% of the pot up for grabs.  Thor, Angry, and Tomahawk all have a shot at the top seed and a nice chunk of change.  Regardless, looking at full season performance and recent performance, it’s pretty clear Kyle and his band of Angry Pirates are the front runners heading into the playoffs, but Chad's performance has been even better recently. Meanwhile, Jason is there lurking...

1	Tomahawk chops	4.58
2	The Angry Pirates	5.38
3	One Nut Wonders	5.53
4	Sexual Napalm	5.83
5	Moose is Loose!	6.15
6	Thor's Hammered	7.03
7	Keep Off Groin	7.15
8	Montezuma's Revenge	7.43
9	Ring of Fire	7.58
10	Take the Knebel	7.85
11	Anal Hershiser	8.25
12	Brokeback Moundmen	8.25
13	Donkey Punchers	9.28
14	Cowhide Joyride	9.30

Interesting that post-deadline, Moose is making a run with an almost entirely rebuilt roster.  He’s only 1.5 games out of the final playoff spot. It presents an interesting conundrum when you consider the alternative is 9th place and automatically the first pick in next year’s draft.  Meanwhile, Ring, Montezuma’s, and Keep off Groin are all at risk of falling out of the playoffs if Moose gets in.  All three teams are limping along, with RR of 7.1-7.5 over the past four weeks.  Should be an interesting weekend!

Just a reminder the last place finish pays another $30 next year and second to last pays another $15.

The Real Rankings look like they’re going to fall pretty much in line with the actual standings. It is interesting that Take the Knebel is the outlier because he was a bit of a surprise seller.
