[G0rgatr0n]

Arkansas may have started with 2 non conference loses but man we have turned our program around after that!

[Puddleglum]

Rankings have been updated through Week 10 (see the link in the OP). Invitations for Weeks' 11 & 12 have been sent out. Play on, conquerors!

[Puddleglum]

Updated rankings through Week 12 are in the OP. With two games remaining in the regular seasaon, here are the top 15 teams:

1.G0rgatr0n - He has the inside track on an SEC championship. A solid 80-pt lead in ATP score all but guarantees G0rgatr0n the top seed in the playoff bracket.

2. ReDBuLLS - The number 2 overall, but not the current leader of the Big 10. He can clinch a title with a win over RKCVED.

3. ABN-PFDR - Leading the ACC AND within striking distance of a #2 seed AND the byes that come with it.

4. aalii - Must win the next two weeks to clinch a conference title. (Incidentally, both games are against teams with whom aalii is currently sharing the division lead).

5. Puddleglum - Not bad for a marshwiggle. He has the half-game lead over the rest of the division, but yvesyves holds the tie-breaker if it comes to that...

6. barley - A tough loss this week against ABN-PFDR knocks barley back 2 spots AND cedes the division lead. However, he can still qualify with a strong finish.

7. actorday - The second of three BIG 10 team to be ranked in front of the division leader, RKCVED. Win out and he probably earns an at-large bid.

8. dowian2 - With an average SEC record, dowian2 will need to win out (and get some help) in order to make the playoff.

9. yvesyves - To win the BIG East and qualify, he must win his final two games (or hope Puddleglum loses his fiinal game of the season).

10. Mojo2222 - Back-to-back loses take Mojo from the number 2 seed to the brink of elimination. He's not out of the hunt for the SEC title yet - but will have to win out AND have G0rgatr0n lose out.

11. Dukasaur- The PAC12 can't get any respect. But Dukasaur is still sitting pretty on a 1-game lead in the race for the conference championship. Beat MattiWackin and the title is his.

12. Jimmy - He can't quite win the SEC title, but he can still claw his way into contention for a wildcard spot.

13. Wizz00 - Wizz has followed 4-straight conference loses with 3-straight wins. Can he ride a winnings streak into the playoff?

14. murphy16 - He might be outside of the top 10, but he is very much alive in the hopes for a conference title. Win out, and he goes bowling.

15. brett2000 - Out of the hunt for a conference title, but very much alive. I'm saying there's a chance.

Invitations for Weeks 13 & 14 will go out before this weekend.

[G0rgatr0n]

Great recap. Thanks for the update on everything!

[Puddleglum]
