(These are power rankings heading into this week’s play, not counting Monday or Tuesdays results this week. Those will be counted in next week’s Rankings.)
- Steak Em Up. Sick of their rampage through the Bards, I have an announcement forthcoming about next Tuesday’s quiz that should get some more hounds on their tails. Last week: #1
- The Jams. An easy win at the Vous last week keeps them in the 2-hole. Last week: #2
- L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. May have won on Thursday if I hadn’t of steered them wrong on a question. In a pathetic grovelling gesture to them, (and because all the other teams ranked #3 to #10 all lost) their consolation prize is a significant bump in the rankings. Last week: #8
- Satan’s Minions. Could be a perennial contender, but don’t play enough as a team. Gotta admit, it was a wonderful blast from the past to hear Howard yelling “Eight! Eight!” every time I announced the weekly double. Last week: NR
- Inglorious Barristers. Perhaps the best dressed team on the circuit, the Barristers style and profile up one spot in the rankings with a 2nd place finish at the Vous. Last week: #6
- Insert Topical Team Name Here. Pull of a huge upset at the Ugly American on Thursday. After months of tinkering, has this team finally created the right formula for a consistent threat to L. Ron’s power? Last week: NR
- Phillie RNs. Two straight weeks of upsets have wreaked havoc on the JGT QCS computer. The Phillie RNs come out of nowhere to pull a monster upset at O’Neals and climb back into the rankings. Last week: NR
- Duane’s World. Ouch! Blowout losses at Westbury and Black Sheep slide Duane’s World down to the 8 slot. Last week: #3
- Look Up Look Down Now I’m a Horse. A third place finish at the Bards drops them down the rankings a few notches. Perhaps they can get back near the top with an impressive drink-off win this Thursday. Last week: #5
- Why Can’t Us. With Audra moved on to greener pastures, the two remaining ladies are still able to finish in the Top 3 at UA. Last week: #7
