Well great, we're halfway through the season and we already have a champion!

Thanks to the unbalanced schedule forced upon us by various absences, injuries, tardiness and early departures, JOE-ROG-DAV have already played 5 games and won them all to go 5-0! Meanwhile, WLL-HRB-DAV have yet to play even 1 game. And considering that JOE-ROG-DAV's final game is against HYN-MKE-RUS, who's only win thus far has been against preseason #Worst Team in the BBA RAY-MA-DAV, they can almost be guaranteed of going 6-0. Only one team in BBA history has finished the season undefeated at 6-0, and that was KLO-ROG-DAN, who did it twice in consecutive seasons to win back-to-back titles. The writings on the wall: HYN said he could do something magical with HYN-MKE-RUS. Something magical MUST be done to stop JOE-ROG-DAV.

Note: If Strength of Schedule were calculated, surely JOE-ROG-DAV would have one of the weakest (based on current Power Rankings):

- #9 HYN-RAY-MAT (2-2): Preseason #2 has been very disappointing thus far
- #25 HYN-MA-DAN (0-4)
- #19 KLO-MA-MKE (0-1)
- #18 WLL-MKE-MAT (1-3)
- #19 WLL-MA-DAN (0-1)
- #17 HYN-MKE-RUS (1-2)

Here's to hoping that 1) HYN-MKE-RUS pulls off something sexy, or else 2) A second team finishes 6-0 so we can have a true title/championship series.

  1. Screw strength of schedule. Roger Davis and I will challenge any 3 players in the league who wish to be destroyed.

  3. Sorry Russ, I want to delay this game as long as possible, for a couple reasons:

    1) I don't want them to be 6-0 midway through the season when WLL-HRB-DAV haven't even played a game yet.

    and more importantly,

    2) I want HYN-MKE-RUS to use their next 2 games to build their chemistry so they are prepared to take JOE-ROG-DAV DOWN!
