(Tier 1) There’s a new king in town. With a crown the same shade as his logo, Sporty Strauss looks good up top. For now, he has a commanding lead over the League of Leagues as the only team in the top-5 of both sports so far and a new championship ring in football to show off.
However, things can change in a hurry, as we saw with Sporty Strauss himself. He was dead in the water a few short weeks ago, and now he’s standing tall as the last man standing in the NFL.
(Tier 2) This Tier is messy, and it’s hard to distinguish between each team right now. Las Cabras would certainly have been Tier 1 with Sporty Strauss had they been victorious, but, alas, ‘twas not to be.
DTC Porkchop Express is the only team along with Strauss to have made the NFL playoffs and are currently in the NBA playoffs. His NBA team is crushing too, and he has a legitimate chance to win it all there, so he should still feel okay about his prospects despite being scoring the least amount of points of any team in the NFL playoffs.
Wait ‘Til Next Year and Win’s Up Doc are in eerily similar situations. Kyle scored 5 points in the NFL Consolation Bracket. Doc scored 3. And each have NBA squads that were dominating but have hit the rocks in the past few weeks. Kyle gets the edge based on his extra baseball budget, but Oat’s NBA team is definitely stronger (right now).
Last in this group is a team caught completely in no-man’s land: the Ornery Otters. They scored 8 points in NFL. Not too shabby. But Korey is on the outside looking in in NBA. The Otters, more than any other team, need to have a stellar baseball draft (and season) to give himself a chance. But he’s still grouped with these other teams. He still has a legitimate shot at winning it all.
(Tier 3) Every team above has a chance to win, but it really feels dire for any team in Tier 3. The Choppers finished 4th in NFL, a solid finish for him, but his NBA squad is a sieve. He could easily move up or down these rankings.
The BamO’s follows him because Sam has the least amount of MLB assets to play with. He’s going to need to get lucky there.
Then there are the two AWFUL NFL squads that are somehow in the NBA playoffs right now. The MN Moose Knuckles and The Pullies are locked in a loser’s battle throughout the rest of this season, but they both should be NBA playoff teams with a chance to maybe sneak in to place 4th or 3rd with an excellent MLB run.
The Cooper Troopers might have evaded the last-place penalty by winning the NFL Consolation Bracket. He’ll have the chance to do the same in NBA as well. If he makes the Consolation Championship in NBA, there’s a very slim chance he could sneak up to the top of the league with a dynamic MLB season.
And last, but certainly least, is $traight Cash Homies. 4 points in NFL. A bad NBA team. But perhaps some MLB assets to climb out of the gutter. Jack is still the most likely team to finish last right now. It might come down to who pays attention more in baseball: Coop or Jack.
No matter what, we still have a WILD ride ahead of us. We are only ⅓ of the way through the year in the League of Leagues. We’re just getting started.
