Commentary

More tid-bits about the end of Week 9 & Coming into Week 10!

1. This week, the North averaged 89.1 points compared to the South's 93.5.

2. The South posted a total score of 11,547.4, 736.4 points higher than the North's 10,811.

3. The record between the two leagues in the Ghost Games is
North 21         -            South 20

4. Chris Barton's PT Bruisers can be the first team to clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Ghost team in week 10!

5. A few of you guys mentioned that you'd like me to keep track of my record of picking the Ugly Games & Upsets of the week. I thought I'd keep a little journal here for you. And NO... don't consider my pick for you to win to be a curse!

Ugly Game of the Week
Upset Pick of the Week
8-8
9-7

6. 6 out of the possible 18 games the underdog beat the favored team.

7.
Congrats to the PT Bruisers on an amazing run that continues to go. 9 wins in a row since the start of the season. All this without yet playing the Ghost Team. The Bruisers are one heck of a team in 2006!

8. CLICK HERE to see the first edition of the 2006 Vegter Poll.

9. Time to start thinking about the end of the year. Where would you guys like to set the celebration dinner in Jan.? We did it in Greensboro last year and there was a moderate turnout. What would be easiest?

11. If you are looking to help here is what I need
A. Someone to look through the games each week and pull out the individual weekly award winners
B. Someone to take a look at the upcoming week's games and, if there is something interesting to note, do a write up
C. Someone to check to see if any Hall of Fame Records are broken each week
D. General articles about the PTL, interesting tidbits, fun stories.

As we near the end of the regular season I thought it would be nice to post the Vegter Poll. This is an "opinionated" poll on playoff rankings & projections, as well as a poll for those teams yearning for their chance at a post-season bid.
Rank
Team Comments
THE TOP 4
1.
The awards and accolades keep pouring in for the PT Bruisers. We haven't seen a team so dominant since the 03 Lone Rangers helmed by the seemingly unstoppable P. Manning. One more win and these guys have the first stamped ticket to the playoffs.
2 (+2)
The Jurocks got back on track in Week 9, scoring the week's best score of 153.50. Think they were mad about the loss to the Malibu team in Week 8?
3(+4)
Mark jumped 10 spots in week 7, 6 spots in week 8 and yet another 4 spots in week 9. He was the last hope to many in the North to finally knock off the unbeaten PT Bruisers, but came up short with an off week. It feels a little odd putting one of Mark's teams this high in the rankings, but you have to admit that the killers are looking like a hard team to beat.
4(-1)
Once again the dogs have found a way to win in the uber-competitive South Division. With 5 wins in a row, they are now very close to clinching a spot in the playoffs.
The Second Tier

5(-3)
Can the Crew buy a break? Going up against a dead-in-the-water Roid Rage Pappy's Crew should've expected a score of 124.4 to win the day. Unfortunately, the bad luck hit them again, as the Yellow and Green somehow woke up for a week and posted a score of 126.
6(+3)
Guess who's rising in the ranks again? The Bashers took their mediocre score and barely put a W on the table against the struggling Mtnears. If they can continue to be "lucky" they should keep winning these close games.
7.(+1)
With an overall record of 9 and 4 they are the second best team in all of PTL. Unfortunatly for the Rangers, most of these wins (3) are against South Division teams in Ghost Games. This means that they are not as high as they would like to be in the North's pre-postseason rankings.
8.(-3)
The lightning took a big hit in week 9, losing to their arch-rival the Swingline Sabers. This old-school matchup was as close as it could ever be as the red office equipment picked up the W by only 2.85 points.
9.(+2)
The Club finally came to a close in Week 9, losing a close one to the Jagermeisters. Although I am still hesitant to bring this team into the top tier, they have seeminly earned a spot by their 7 and 6 winning record and total score of 920.35.
10.
How do the Jagermeisters pull it off? They yanked yet another team off their laurels and dragged the Culture Club down from their perch. With an overall record at .500, and a total score of 918.4, the black and gold drunkerds are doing their best to stay in the hunt for the postseason.
The Muddled Middle

11.(-5)
The Mtnears are falling fast. With the 4th loss in a row they now pop up on the Hall of Fame's losing streak board. How long until this free-fall stops?
12.(+5)
Could Maxton have finally put his team to work? Two wins in a row, and an overall record of 7 and 5 finally give the Bigmaxers' credibility.
13.(+3)
Malibu won their 2nd game in a row and climbed two spots in the South. They are one game above 500 and, despite total points only being 793.65, they are finding a way to win the big games.
14(-1)
A Second loss in the North really hurt the mexican demons. They are now hovering at 9th place, one spot out of the playoffs. They need to come up with a few more good scoring games in order to, not only win, but post higher overall scores to leapfrog teams with similar records.
15.
The Lampshades probably thought a score of 122.8 would win in week 9. Unfortuantely for them, the Jurocks played out of their minds. If these guys can continue to score these big games they should find their way back into the playoff rankings very quickly.
16.(+3)
For the 4th week in a row the Crusaders failed to score in the triple digits. Lucky for them, they managed to score higher than the struggling Inferno. With a North Rank of 6th, they need to hang on with all their might to stay in the playoff race.
17.(+3)
Corny's team put together a rag-tag group of players and found a way to beat the free-falling Goo Crew by more than 20 points. Unfortunately for the "Good Ole Boys" they are one loss from being out of the playoffs, and in the competitive South, you can't count on too many wins week to week.
18.(-4)
After a run of 4 wins in the North, the Inferno was brought back to earth with a loss in week 9 to the Krypton Crusaders. It also doesn't help this team that they have lost every single ghost game to the South.
19.(-7)
3 Losses in a row in the South is almost a death sentence. Unless Andrew wakes his Crew up, he'll continue to fall in our rankings, and fall in the playoff race.
20. (+1)
What a win! The Sabers pulled one out of their butts to close the tight race in the North. More games above 100 points should keep pushing this team farther up the poll.
21.(+2)
Don't ever count the Leviathans out of the race. Due to every team in the South beating up on each other, they are still only ONE game away from being back in the playoffs. A season high score of 139.4 also doesn't hurt their cause.
22.(+2)
Has the Rage sprung to life? With a score of 126, they were able to beat one of the North's premiere teams in a very close game.
The Bottom 4

23.(-5)
The Culture Club absolutely hammered Hanso in Week 8, The Leviathans (once thought to be a dead team) absolutely hammered Hanso in Week 9. Anyone else want to take a swing?
24.(-2)
A Record of 4 and 9 doesn't get a team any closer to the playoffs. The Devils are stuck in their own hell.
25
Even a win in the Bye week can't get this team off the bottom.
26.
Don't make that trade Randy!
