Some big wins and big losses this week. Let's see how it affects the Power Rankings:
1. The Bryce Is Right-Andrew Blum (36.5 Points)
Andrew takes loss #2 of the year (I guess that means "the streak" is now L1...), however, his team still looks plenty strong. Apparently worried about the Biogenesis stuff, though, he traded away two big pieces at the end of the week, and it will be interesting to see how he does going forward.
2. And Another One Bites The DL-Randy Blum (36 Points)
Randy gets himself closer to Andrew the best way he can...by beating him in an excellent battle that went down to the final day's games. The win puts him just one game back of the division right now, and that's a pretty solid spot to be in.
3. Zimmerman Telegraph-Shane Sandri (30.5 Points)
Undefeated in Division 2 match-ups, .500 in Division 1 match-ups. It's a recipe for success so far in Division 2, but it also calls into question how Shane will perform come playoff time. He's playing solidly, though, and shouldn't be expected to take many more losses this season.
4. Albuquerque Isotopes-Josh Blum (29 Points)
Josh gets an important win over Shane this week, as it keeps him solidly in the playoff race and still in contention for the division title. The next few weeks will certainly determine if he has a shot at it or not.
5. A New Era-Austin Drake (24.5 Points)
Austin picks up a much-needed win this week, and he's going to need a few more of them to stay in the playoffs. Nevertheless, knocking Ervin back to .500 at least puts him in the conversation.
6. The Fresh "Prince"-Scott Stepaniak (20 Points)
Scott has not been able to get anything consistent going. He's still right in the mix for that final playoff spot, but he'll need to get something consistent going if he's going to stay in that conversation (And if he's going to stay out of that last spot in Division 1).
7. LC Legend-Kyle Trondle (14.5 Points)
Suddenly Kyle explodes for a 1000+ point week, and it's more than enough to get win #2 on the year. Could this be the start of a streak? If it is, he might just put himself back into playoff contention.
8. No More Haren Addiciton-Andy Ashbaugh (10 Points)
Andy is not in last folks! I repeat, ANDY IS NOT IN LAST! He's been hot the past few weeks, and he's finally rewarded this week with a win. If he can keep his hot streak going and get a few more wins, he may be able to do more than just play spoiler in the last few weeks.
T-9. ThE RoUnD MoUnD Of ReBoUnD-Ervin Demirasi (9.5 Points)
Ervin is back to .500 after a sub-700 point week. And that pretty much sums up how Ervin is 5-5. His team is so up and down, it's ridiculous. Better catch him on the right week, or you'll end up losing.
T-9. How I Met Yu's Mother-Brian Rossen (9.5 Points)
Brian has not looked good this season. Now it's starting to look worse, and at 3-7, he needs to pick up some quick wins if he's going to have any shot at the playoffs.
Looking ahead to Week 11, we get some rather intriguing match-ups. The game of the week looks to be #1 The Bryce Is Right (8-2) against #5 A New Era (4-6). Austin could use a big win like this, but Andrew certainly doesn't want to give up any more of the lead he has in Division 1. Which team is hottest right now? That will determine this one.
We get a similar match-up with #2 Accountants Do It In Numbers (7-3) going against #6 The Fresh "Prince" (4-6). A Randy win keeps right in line with the Division lead, while Scott can hardly afford another loss right now. The rest of the match-ups should actually be pretty fun as well. #3 Zimmerman Telegraph (8-2) takes on #7 LC Legend (2-8) in match-up where Kyle would like to see both teams get #3 on the year. #4 Albuquerque Isotopes (6-4) looks to stay in contention for the division title against the suddenly hot #8 No More Haren Addicition (3-7). And the battle for the bottom of the Power Rankings will be decided (At least for a week) when #9 ThE RoUnD MoUnD Of ReBoUnD (5-5) takes on #9 How I Met Yu's Mother (3-7).
Until next week, good luck to all!
