So it's the end of the season rankings and I just want to say this was a blast to do for you guys. I would love to continue these but only if you guys are interested in them so let me know if you are and I would hope to keep doing them. Next I would like to thank the committee members for taking there time and really making these rankings great. I appreciate all the hard work from everyone.
So let's just get right into it then.
1. Santiago Benitos
Rate- I'm not sure if GLB has ever had such a clear cut #1 team in my mind. These guys have taken on all comers and always get the job done.
Sam Bolster- They showed everyone they deserve to be number 1 in GLB at the end of the Season. Congrats to being the best team in GLB in season 6.
2. Boston Nighthawks
Rate- This team has been slowly creeping up the rankings since we started this, and now they're definitely quite deserving of the #2 ranking. Their defense is especially amazing.
turnit643-Boston got the nod from me for the top spot in a close decision. Along with the Benitos, they cruised unchallenged through their league schedule, stomping all of the other playoff teams in their conference during the regular season – a conference that is much tougher than SAPL Alpha where Santiago resides, IMO. Both teams won their league titles in convincing fashion over outstanding opponents. Both were 20-0 on the year (though Santiago’s streak extends far past that mark.) Santiago had the edge in scrimmage results and the big common opponent that everyone will see is MEM. Both teams beat MEM, Santiago in a late season scrim and Boston in the USAPL championship. Weighing all of that, it could have gone either way, but the title win in the game's top league was enough to counter the scrim schedule for me (still, I would have loved to see them go out and get some high level scrims to add to their resume.)
3. Monmouth Evil Monkeys
Sam Bolster- Monmouth has to be still considered one of the best teams regardless there 3 losses this season.
James128- Nobody in glb had a better strength of schedule then them
4. Arctic Bay Yetis
bhall43- May have stole a spot from West Scranton here, but the committee took note of the scrimmage schedule you played over WSI. Something WSI should consider next season for sure.
5. West Scranton Invaders
Rate- I really want to move this team higher, but I want to see some scrimmages against more of the top teams before I do.
James128- Might have the best D in all of GLB
Grim Truth- You were screwed out of a Top 3 spot. You earned it, you won every game, you played well but some people seem to have taken your inability to blow out the competition in the playoffs as a sign that you aren't in the Top 3... Somehow...
6. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors
Sam Bolster- Did HHW prove that they were overrated? Not totally sure as the stay at number 6 at the end of the seasons rankings.
7. East St. Louis Tire Fires
James128- If you plan on staying this high you need to go out and play other good teams around glb. Only league that can get away with doing that is USA Pro
creeker22- Great season in SEA Pro and you guys topped it off with another Championship. You guys have really impressed me and some of the top 25 guys are starting to come around as well. More scrimmages next season and I will sure you will get rewarded with all your hard work
8. Krazy Monkeys
James128- Regardless of which teams comes up from AAA there is no question who rules SA PRO Zeta in the Post Season
9. Detroit Demon Lions
bhall43- Tough losses to the Shockers this season, but overall, your SOS speaks volumes...still a top 10 team no matter how many times I try to rethink it....
10. San Francisco Fire
James128- 14-2 in usa pro is elite. Have some quality scrim wins as well.
11. Berlin Ballers
James128- If you plan on staying this high you need to go out and play other good teams around glb. Only league that can get away with doing that is USA Pro
larkis- Some owners still believe this team is too high and I am not one of those. Prove them wrong next season and challenge a few top 25 teams.
12. Mean Machine
Rate- These guys are very close to being one of the top teams, you could see that in the rankings early in the season until they hit the brick wall known as West Scranton.
13. Adriana Lima Beans
bhall43- This goes to show that a solid scrimmage schedule and a good finish can really make a statement.
larkis- Perhaps lucky to be ranked this high with three regular season losses and a 2nd round play-off entry, they do what most teams don't do and that is challenge themselves on a consistent basis, not just one or two matches.
14. Buenes Aires Barracudas
Rate- Tough to rank these guys because they're 1-1 against the Krazy Monkeys and Porto Alegre. Hell, all three of them are hard to rank.
15. Banzai Pipeline Nites
Rate- This team has some wins against quality teams, but also has losses to some not-so-quality teams. With a little consistency they could easily see themselves into the top 10.
16. Tonga Ikale Tahi
Rate- Really great team that probably doesn't get enough credit because nobody can pronounce their freaking name. Tonga has a stout defense and a strong offense, just need a little bit more to put them over other teams in their tough conference.
17. Moose Jaw Fightin' Hobos
turnit643- lots of discussion about this team and where to rank them this week. A 15-1 regular season in CPL West and an appearance in the CPL title game wasn’t enough for many to lift them. A lacking scrim schedule probably hurt, as did their scrim loss to BAB. Were #12 for me, pushing the edge of the Top 10.
James128- Canada Pro alpha isn't tough enough for you guys not to go out and play no one. Would really like to see your team play more scrims next season
18. Taiwan Blood Panda
creeker22- way to finish off the season strong and win Garuda convincingly. You guys really impressed me and I am sure you guys will stay on this list as long as you continue you prove that you belong. More scrimmages is what the top 25 commitee would like to see!
19. Porto Alegre Smugglers
turnit643- Interesting team with a long list of worthy scrim games to add to their 15-1 mark in SAPL. Not afraid to go out and take on big teams – win a few more of those games and they probably rise to the 10-15 range.
20. Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates
creeker22- about time you guys found your way onto this list. You guys have always impressed me and glad to see you up here. Honestly you and TBP are the 2 teams in SEA Pro right now that can really compete with ESL and keep them in check.
21. Halifax Explosion
bhall43- We love you, but we aren't in love with you.
larkis- I am still at a loss on how you are in the rankings when you were humiliated in round 16 and in the playoffs. Keep up the good work.?
A lot of room to improve, opinions were split on whether this is a top 25 team and can easily be replaced by another team. If you want to concrete your spot in the top 25, lose less games in the regular season and be as competitive as possible.
22. Cincinnati Shockers
turnit643- beating DDL twice (including in the playoffs) carried some weight. Had mixed results outside of that.
23. Prague Punishers
larkis- Sadly, the main reason your in the top 25 is because you guys are champions and being champions does cover some weight in the top 25. Try and make some improvement in the off season to prove to everyone why you should be a top 25 team.
24. Dryden Blues
bhall43- Might have been a week late, but the credit finally came your way...good ending to the season and hopefully next year it will start off on the right foot for you guys.
25. Louisiana Screaming Pelicans
James128- Would like to see your scrim schedule get a little tougher next season. 15-1 in sea a pro in your first season is impressive though
Other teams recieving votes
San Francisco Sucka Frees, Detroit Cheetahs, Maracaibo Stingrays, Manila Hitmen, Korb Destroyers, Parma Burglars, Philadelphia Pushovers
creaker22-I think this is the best list we have come up so far. A lot of good teams and I feel that we were pretty spot on with who we picked this week. Sure some teams might be a little high to some and a little low to others, but either way I feel that this week we got the majority of the teams right. It was fun coming up with the top 25 list this season and can't wait to do it again next season! Good luck to all teams currently on the list and those teams aspiring to get on there next season!

Once again thanks to you all for helping me over the past 2 weeks I would love to continue this only if people are interested so let me know if you are interested in seeing these next season.
