I have come up with a ranking system which takes all the team stats rankings and adds them up (pass yds/game, sacks/game etc) so the lowest cumulative score is the best.

I used 9 categorys to calculate the sum. In theory 9 would be the best score if a team ranked 1st in every category while 288 would be the worst score if a team ranked 32nd in every category.

Then I took the top ten scores and they are listed under The Quick in ascending order. Next I took the bottom ten and they are listed under The Dead in descending order. Finally the remaining 12 teams in the middle are listed under And in ascending order.

11. GREEN BAY (6-8)

Great Falls has clinched at least the #2 seed with Seattle and Niagara vying for the other bye have clinched both of their divisions. Th north is still wide open with 2 games remaining, 3 teams are separated by just one game. Chicken Wing is 4-1 in division with a game remaining against Detroit. Minnesota is 4-2 in division while Green Bay is 2-3 in division with a game against Detroit remaining. Green Bay will need to win out and hope both Chicken Wing and Minnesota both lose out to clinch the division. If Chicken Wing wins out they clinch the division. Bermondsey currently has the inside track for a Wildcard spot with Philadelphia, Rock City and New Orleans a game behind and vying for the 2nd wildcard spot. Hawaii, and whoever falls short of the division title in the North are still alive for that last Wildcard spot.
