Week 21 Power Rankings

1. DreamTeam is having a dream regular season. Unfortunately his playoff history has been marred by failure. With a first round bye and momentum on his side, is this the year he finally joins the elite? This week he plays the hapless Cocaine Convict, so there isn't much at stake in this matchup. I'm sure he'll be eagerly looking to the waivers to snipe promising FAs and see how the rest of the bracket fills out.

2. BigCountry seems to be peaking at the right time. His team is a well-oiled machine heading into playoffs and he seems poised to steal the second seed. Will we have not only our first 2-time winner, but a back-to-back champion? There's no reason to think it can't be.

3. Pohn Wall with the rest of the top players stumbling and bumbling this former champion put up some ridiculous stats this week. Undoubtedly he's going to have to follow it up with another amazing week if he wants to continue his run of five straight playoff appearances. Unfortunately he is running into Dark Horse who (scratching my head) has much at stake this week as well as he... fights to stay in the playoffs??? That's exactly what has to happen for Pohn to make it - he has to eliminate a player who has been at the #1 or #2 spot for 90% of the year.

4. Team Canada has once again showed this season why he is a GM to be feared. While never having won the big one, he has two of the past three years been a team to be feared. His team is loaded on bigs who score - which means he routinely locks up FG%, Pts, Rebs, and Blks. A tough matchup to whoever meets him in the first round... if he himself doesn't steal that second seed himself.

5. T'Wolves pulls out an improbable beat down on one of the former elites, showing the old vet still knows how to spoil the party. Instead of solidifying his #2 spot, Dark Horse will be fighting for a playoff spot with the rest of the dogs courtesy of former champion, T'Wolves. We doff our caps, sir.

6. Dark Horse Dark Horse was a promising thoroughbred, with almost no training he was routinely beating the older, more veteran horses around the track. His future looked bright. When the big race started, Dark Horse leaped out to a huge lead. The race looked like a foregone conclusion... but on the final leg of the race Dark Horse's lack of training and practice caught up with him as the other horses started passing him left and right. A late breaker, this horse was not... instead he stumbled and bumbled towards the finish line. Him and Merlness are cautionary tales for all those who decide to rest on the laurels of their drafts and the ease of their schedules.

7. Cliphairs could have done himself a huge favor by pulling out a victory this week against an opponent doing everything in his power to get the last spot. Instead he chokes and gags and sets up the most intriguing matchup of the last regular season week: Cliphairs vs. Merlness. If Pohn isn't able to get seven points on Dark Horse, then the winner of this matchup will most likely grab the last playoff spot.

8. Merlness what can we say about Merlness that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? My goodness, I've never seen a team this far this fast in the history of SAB. To say this is a choke is an understatement. This is a suicide. Whenever we talk about a player who rides out his draft without actually being a GM in fantasy from this moment will be referred as busting a Merlness.

9. Gone Fishin' - Major props to Gone Fishin' who has continued to GRIND even with no hopes at playoffs. I have little doubt that this team can rock the consolation bracket and end up in seventh place when it's all said and done. He has continued to make moves and grind when those ahead and behind him and neglected their teams completely. This type of play does not go unnoticed by the committee.

10. Cocaine Convict updates every once in a while.

11-13. MIA
