AF Top25: London Falls Up Again
The World League’s London Falling (9-4-0) are back on top at AF#1 after beating Jerusalem in their regular season finale 100-77. The jump may give them some momentum as they head into their Wild Card match with rival AF#5 Old England Patriots (10-3-0). The Falling displaced LFC’s King George Angels RIP (12-1-0) the Association’s last remaining undefeated team who suffered their first loss of the season last week, 69-58 to the All Americans, and slide back to AF#2. There was no other movement this week in the rest of the top 7 teams, and little movement beyond that as most leagues wind down and head into the post season.
You can view the complete list at the AF Top 25 Page or check out the itemized rankings for all 109 AF League teams at the League Team Rankings Page. As leagues head into the playoffs in week 14, there are lots of Top 25 Post Season matches on the bill for this weekend, and you can find an updating scoreboard for all Playoff Games involving Top 25 teams on the right sidebar of the Top 25 Page and also this week, on the AF Homepage (accessible by clicking the tab on right if you’re viewing on a mobile device).
Many of the Top 25 or other playoff teams have been nominated by their peers to be placed on the 2020 Pro Bowl Ballot, released this week. For the first time ever teams are being allowed to vote for the full slate of 6 Pro Bowl Tournament teams. Gone is the “1st, 2nd, and 3rd Selection” criteria as well as the weighted ballot. Voting teams now get to vote for all 6 teams they want to see as Tournament Starters, and also get to vote for a “Captain” which gives that team an additional vote in the vote count. Be sure to check out this year’s nominees by clicking below and vote for your favorites.
