Clinched Division Title                Clinched Playoff Berth

Stud-Of -The Week:   Asleep at the Wheel

Player(s) of the Week:    
Big Oil:      RB   Priest Holmes,  51.5 - PowerWave
Big Cattle:    DEF  Atlanta,  38.0 - Critical Mass


Notable: 
- W2 Streak  ... BigV and Thunder Ducks  (yes....T-Ducks!) both sport two game W streaks.
- SOW  .......... AATW nabbed his second SOW of the year.   PowerWave has basically clinched the Stud-of-the Year award.
- POW  .......... Critical Mass....Atlanta defense notched 38.0 points in shutting out Carolina....the first Defensive Player-of-the-Week. 

- BigV (6-0) and PowerWave (7-0) have a chance to cap undefeated seasons within their respective divisions. PowerWave finishes their division run 
  against Asleep at the Wheel this week. Which AATW team will show up? BigV faces the Hostile Amish this week and then finishes against the Thunder Ducks.

- Critical Mass might be in the wrong division. This team might only be 2-5 vs. fellow Big Cattle members but it rocks against Big Oil teams. Critical Mass 
   is a zesty 5-0 and has a chance to be the only undefeated team in intra-division play.  But...the final foe on the schedule is #1 ranked PowerWave in Week 14.

 - L6 Streak  ... Bobos in da tank...... but could take revenge against Lobsters this week.
 - L2 Streak  ... Hostile Amish

 
If the playoffs started this week*: 
    #1 PowerWave (11-1)     vs.     #4  WN Cheeseheads (7-5)
    #2 BigV (8-4)                  vs.     #3  Critical Mass (7-5)

*Based on standings, NOT based on Power Ranking.

Big Oil vs. Big Cattle
 -  Big Cattle leads 16-12.

      
Game of   
 The Week:   		WN Cheeseheads (7-5,  #4)  vs. Purple Pecans II (6-6, #5)
WNC saw their W4 streak go out the window in a loss to BigV.   The Purple Pecans dropped out of a top-4 spot by dropping a critical game to the lowly T-Ducks.     The winner of this game will secure a top-4 slot going into the final week of play...................
