Notable: 
 - W4 Streak  ... WN Cheeseheads are now officially the leagues hottest team.
- W2 Streak  ... Purple Pecans starting to heat up again  (and they would be in the big-boy playoffs with their current record).

 - L5 Streak  ... Bobos dropped a close one to the keep their streak in tact.  Doh!
 - L1 Streak  ... PowerWave the 10 game W streak is history as is the quest for and undefeated season. 

 
If the playoffs started this week*: 
    #1 PowerWave (10-1)     vs.     #5  Purple Pecans  (6-5)
    #2 BigV (7-4)                  vs.     #3  WN Cheeseheads (7-4)

*Based on standings, NOT based on Power Ranking.

 -  Big Cattle leads 14-11.

      
Game of   
 The Week:   		BigV (7-4,  #2)  vs. We're No Cheeseheads (7-4, #4)
Red hot WNC sports W4 streak (league's best right now), is tied for first in Big Cattle with BigV and just knocked off previously unbeaten PowerWave squad.  BigV continues to play well but just squeaked by Critical Mass and has lost MVP candidate Donovan McNabb for the rest of the season.   The winner of this game has the inside track to a Big Cattle title and pretty much wraps up a playoff spot.  The loser is tossed back into the wild-card mix.   Very interesting. 
Boner: If the playoff started this week.......these two teams would square off in one bracket.
