Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 14

Week 13 turned into a bloodbath, as many of franchises in contention for the three wild card playoff spots lost money, including Teddy KGB and Bayonnaise losing $500, and Thunder Lips losing $600. Cleveland covering by one half of a point devastated  almost half the league. Gordon Bombay and Blossom Russo remain tied for the overall lead, with Bombay holding a slim .679 winning percentage tiebreaker, and Russo right behind at .671. In the West, Karl Farbman surged into first while the bottom of the division dropped behind.

Here are your updated power rankings:

Biggest rise: Karl Farbman: was 12, now 7; Bummy: was 14, now 9.
Biggest drop: Bayonnaise: was 6, now 10; Teddy KGB: was 9, now 13.

(Last week’s rank; Current total)

1. Gordon Bombay (1; $3,200)

Plugging along, Bombay remains at the top of the heap.

2. Blossom Russo (2; $3,200)

Russo won another $300, staying hot, and is just mere percentage points behind the overall leader.

3. Mr. Marbles (5; $2,000)

Survived another week by squeaking out $100 and is still within shouting distance in the division. He has a firm grasp on the top wild card spot.

4. Kimmy Gibbler (4; $1,600)

Lost $100, but simply hanging in after Week 13 created some breathing room among the crowded South Division.

5. The People’s Champ (7; $1,200)

In playoff position right now and just a few hundred dollars out of the money for the regular season.

6. Thunder Lips (3; $1,500)

Late picks yet again, then lost all his bets to boot. It seems as though his systematic betting system has gone to the wayside.

7. Karl Farbman (12; $1,100)

What a time for a perfect week. After struggling for about a month, winning $500 makes Farbman the new leader in the West.

8. Brian Piccolo (8; $900)

Piccolo is just $200 behind Farbman, but might need to beat him outright, as he is behind him in the tiebreaker.

9. Bummy (14; $800)

Hanging around, just hanging around. As the playoff spots continue to decrease, things are looking better and better for Bummy.

10. Bayonnaise (6; $800)

Last week he was just one good bet away from the division lead. Now he’s in third place and on the outside looking in for the playoffs.

11. Mr. DeBlasis (11; $700)

Just one good week away from the postseason.

12. The 21th Precinct (10; $600)

Staying in the mix in the division, and also is on the fringe of a very crowded playoff picture.

13. Teddy KGB (9; $600)

The downward spiral continues. Teddy loses another $500 and drops out of the postseason picture – for the moment

14. Chris B. Corey (15; $100)

Going backwards at this point isn’t going to do any good.

15. Boss Hardigan (13; $0)

Lost $500 on the week. The season seems to be slipping away….

16. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (16; -$100)

Fell back further out West, making Week 14 almost do or die for WGF.

17. The Beard of Zeus (18; -$300)

Won his Wild Card bet, but must remain hot if he wants a shot at playoff glory.

18. Babe (17; -$300)

Still has a shot.

19. The Phoenix (20; -$1,500)

Late picks again, and then two correct bets. One wonders what The Phoenix’s season would have been like if you took away his $1,600 worth of fines.

20. Rick Moranis (19; -$2,200)

Took a shot with his Wild Card bet, and lost miserably. And now he’s made his fate for the season official: two seasons of Funny Money Football and Rick Moranis has never enjoyed a week on the positive side of zero.
