Week 9

As we enter Week 9, In what has been a Fun and Entertaining season thus far, we have Freedom sitting alone atop the standings with a 6-2 (28-12) overall record, with thier only losses coming by way of close matches to Epc(3-2 each time).
After that you have 3 teams with a record of 5-3, with Magic Pool being only one overall win better than Sexy Poolerz and Extreme Pool Competitors. If it were to end today, these 4 teams would be your playoffs and quite the match-ups they would be, as all 4 teams seem to be capable of beating on another on any given day.
Then you get down to Straight Shots(4-4), Brit Pool(3-5) and Ultimate Outlaws(3-5) . Out of these 3 teams, l think SS has the best chance of pulling off some upset wins to get into the playoffs, but with the top 4 we have now I think everyone left is just contending with themselves for the rest of the season.
As for Money ln the Bank(1-7) they have had a tough season. While they have competed very well, they were only able to pick up one win against Epc. I am impressed however with Rich & Company, as they have fought it out all season long and with a better play here or there during a match they could easily be within reaching distance of the playoffs as they only have 2 losses that werent close( 4-1 Vs SS, and a 5-0 vs Freedom).

Big Ups to the guys running this Interleague. There hasnt been any real issues in this first season, as the rules are very clear and clean cut. When something has arisen, they have handled it in the best fashion in my opinion and l dont think there has been a week yet where the site wasnt updated right after the matches.
Now, for my predictions.

**Week 9 Predictions**

Freedom Vs Brit Pool
Freedom is coming off another hard loss to Epc and l dont think they like that at all. They currently have 2-3 players that are contending at this point for MVP and thier record reflects that good play. Brit Pool is a team that can't seem to be consistent and that has crushed them this season. They have 2 wins against the lower teams in GIT, and a Fluke win vs Epc..Thats just not gonna cut it to make the playoffs, with the talent they have. This match could be intresting, but l doubt it.
4-1(Freedom)

Extreme Pool Competitors Vs Ultimate Outlaws
UO was able to keep it close last time against Epc, with Ben and Jack losing but l dont think it'll be that close this time. Epc has picked up some new talent lately and looks to prove that they are the top team in GIT, after beating Freedom twice so far. As they add Ant(mvp.champ) and Stephen(l1_stephen_1) to an already potent lineup, they are getting in high gear for the playoffs.
This match could be intresting, but Im gonna lean more towards a dominate performance by Epc and say they win with ease.
4-1(Epc)

Money ln the Bank Vs Sexy Poolerz
This could be a very good match to watch. Sp is coming off a loss to SS, more as a noshow then a real loss and that just wont cut it if they wanna contend for the playoffs. They are a top team, but if they decide to showup with scrubs again this week and not bring a full lineup, Rich and the rest of MIB could take them out, as the first matchup between these two was a close 3-2 win for Sp. I think we should see more of the same as the first matchup and I'm going to give MIB the nod in this one, as they are able to get over the hump and beat a top team.
3-2(MIB)

Magic Pool Vs Straight Shots
Last time these two met in GIT, Mp laid a thrashing on SS and beat them 5-0..This time?It could be a little more intresting. SS are in position to make a move into playoff contention, and with a win over Mp this week, they could deffinately count themselves in as contenders. Magic Pool has a newcomer in Jordy, that will prove very vauleable come playoff time, as he is as good as anyone in GIT when he's on,currently sitting @ 3-0 for his team. I think this one will have a intense vibe to it, but with Mp taking the nod overall.
4-1(Mp)
