Sorry for the late update I was on vacation.
Playoffs
1 Death Watch I'm not very confident in putting the Death Watch at 1 but it's hard to choose between the top 5. The Death Watch beat the spiders late in the season but narrowly lost their last game to the Nightbrothers then struggled to defeat the Bats in the Clone Wars.
2 Inquisitors my team looked really strong the 2nd half of the season winning 10 in a row behind the best defense in the league and earning the bye. I hesitate to put my team at 1 as I lost to the Death Watch 19-0 earlier in the season.
3 Celestials rely on turnovers more than I would like. They have a +21 turnover margin. They are 10th in yards per play and 8th in yards against. They lost to my Inquisitors in week 15 but still earned the bye week.
4 Spiders lack a big win on their schedule. They have close losses to the Death Watch and Celestials. They have now beaten the Panthers 3 times though. They are 8th in yards per play and 3rd in yards against.
5 Force also lack an impressive win but have beaten the Gungans 3 times now. They are 7th in offense and 2nd in defense. They will definitely be tested this week against the Death Watch. For me this ends the tier 1 teams. The top 5 seem to be a step above the rest to me.
6 Nightbrothers might be in my tier 2 but that's mostly because they don't have an owner. They are very much a threat with the 11th ranked offense and 10th ranked defense. They ended the regular season by beating the Death Watch, and just beat the Zillo Beasts in the Clone Wars.
7 Champions are another team without a big win, and they really rely on their turnover margin. They have the 9th ranked offense but are dead last in yards allowed. They face off against the Spiders next week. So we'll see if they can continue creating those turnovers against top competition. These are the only 2 teams in tier 2 for me.
8 Zillo Beasts start the teams who I view as just average who just so happen to have a couple more wins than other average teams. They had 11 injuries in weeks 16 and the Clone Wars and lost to the Nightbrothers in the last minute.
9 Gungans are another average team. It's good to see they have an owner now so hopefully they can improve in seasons to come. They were eliminated in their 3rd loss to the Force. It was close on the scoreboard but the stats say it was a blowout.
10 Panthers another team with a new owner. Their season came to an end last week to the Spiders run defense who wouldn't allow the Panthers RBs to do anything. They finished the season strong though and could definitely be a bigger threat next season with a more attentive owner.
