Week 14

Here we are, 14 weeks since the start of GIT. Many doubted, many believed, but in the end GIT was a success in its first season and it is far from over. With the MVP race up in the air for a number of people heading into the playoffs, and the playoffs themselves being a mess, the regular should shape up to be one hell of a first season with the playoffs and its crazy 9v9 format sure to bring the intensity up a notch. So how could the results of this week pan out into the standings?

• Any of the current top 4 teams can finish first.
• With a 5-0 SP victory, SP could do as well as finish 2nd in the standings but guarantee themselves a spot in the playoffs.
• If MP get shut-out by SP, they could very well miss the playoffs.
• With a big Freedom loss for yet another week, the #1 team all season long could drop to 4th.
• Even with a Magic Pool victory, Joe still will have cooties.
• All of this could be meaningless as the top 4 could remain completely unchanged.

Interesting? I thought so..


Brit Pool vs Extreme Pool Competitors
After a thumping by SP, BP should forget all about it as they face their favourite guy, Jack. It was only 7 weeks ago this very BP squad shut EPC out 5-0, and Trey would love to do it once again I'm sure. For EPC, this match is simple, win and you're in. Will winning be that simple though? It should be, Jack has been able to get a full team to the table more often then not lately and will be pushing his players to do the same this week in a crucial match, in which he seeks vengeance, and playoffs :)

Prediction - 4-1 EPC

Money in the Bank vs Freedom
MIB were romped by EPC this past week and know in order to avenge their original 5-0 loss to Freedom, they'll have to figure something out. Freedom, needs this win, badly. Flying high all season long, then out of no where 3 losses in a row and now their back where they don't want to be, tied with everyone else. With Craig announcing he's done for the season after his first loss, Petey will need to figure something out with a thin roster, but has all the capabilities to win it. A thin roster wont hurt as much come playoff time, with Freedoms roster focus being on quality rather then quantity, their key players will have a chance to win more then just once giving them a good chance come playoff time, but until the playoffs come around, they'll need to win this otherwise there wont be any morale for this squad..

Prediction - 3-2 Freedom

Straight Shots vs Ultimate Outlaws
Nigel & company took a big step last week defeating Freedom 4-1, giving themselves a shot to finish first over all after a very slow start. Nigel has his key players playing at the right time which he'll need against an upset-minded UO squad. While Rebs & company were able to defeat a MP team last week, they know their 4-1 loss to SS in the first meeting was big, as they had pretty much played their top 5 and still lost. UO are streaking though and a 3rd straight win against a top opponent sure is possible..

Prediction - 3-2 UO

Magic Pool vs Sexy Poolerz
Chris was unable to get the team he wanted last week against UO and had to result to playing players he might not have given the chance this late in the season, resulting in a big 3-2 loss to UO. While MP still control their own destiny, the pressure is on. The last time these 2 met, SP cleaned them out winning 4-1. Pete's known for a while hes playing catch-up and even with a big 4-1 win over BP, SP will need a loss by EPC or SS to jump into the playoffs, unless of course they blank MP! Both sides for the past week or 2 haven't been able to get their ideal squad to the table, this week, that's what it'll come down too.

Prediction - MP 3-2
