Another week, another weekly update. Welcome to week 7!
Let's start off with a bit of bonus talk. Last week we played best ball. Last week Sam also put up 153 points in his starting lineup while also catching negative Travis Etienne points. When you adjust his lineup to best ball Sam had 173 points. My quick math didn't show anyone else close, but if there's objections to that I'll happily hear them
This week we'll catch up with the missed bonus from a couple weeks ago. We're going to do a two-fer. The team that is closest(no Price is Right rules) to the year long average points for(113.9, by my math) and the team that is the furthest away(higher or lower) will each take home a cheeky $5.
Now on to what you're really here for. Another AI Power Ranked SEWIFFL Weekly Comparison! I was brainstorming trying to figure out what to put into this week's AIPRSEWIFFLWC when it hit me...I could really use a vacation. The weather is getting colder, skin is getting paler and days are already short. I figured what better way to get the vacation bug moving than by having ChatGPT compare each team to a vacation destination. Pack your Bermuda shorts and find your passport, its time to sit down for a timeshare sales pitch at the SEWIFFL Travel Agency!
*Disclaimer: I have no idea the methodology that ChatGPT is using to rank these teams...the info I put in includes W/L record, Streak, points for and points against and told it to rank the teams. So like every other power ranking in the world, its effectively useless.
This team is a dream vacation—crystal-clear water, overwater bungalows, and pure luxury. Like Bora Bora, Bearded Clams performs beautifully and feels like a rare opportunity. You don’t stumble across a team (or trip) like this often; it’s a getaway to paradise.
Pack Attack embodies the perfect blend of tradition and modern flair, like a visit to Tokyo. One week might feel like a peaceful stroll through a Shinto shrine, while the next is a whirlwind of neon lights and high-energy battles. The team’s diversity in performance mirrors the city’s vibrant chaos—always thrilling, but not without careful strategy.
This team offers untamed excitement, just like an African safari where every day brings something unexpected. Joe Buck Yourself is always on the hunt—sometimes delivering a breathtaking win, other times struggling to track down elusive points. Like spotting the Big Five in the wild, when everything clicks, it’s a rare and unforgettable experience.
Rated Eks is all about beauty with substance—like Santorini's picturesque sunsets and iconic whitewashed buildings. Their performance is impressive, though sometimes they coast on past successes instead of charging ahead. Still, they have just enough firepower to leave opponents in awe, much like a sunset over the Aegean Sea that lingers in your mind.
This team is refined, well-composed, and capable of impressive victories, just like Paris is a symbol of culture and elegance. However, they’ve also shown moments of inconsistency—akin to getting lost in a maze of side streets. When they shine, Bart Was The Best feels like enjoying wine at the Eiffel Tower, but other weeks leave you searching for direction.
Cotch11 is reliable and serene, much like the untouched beauty of Banff's snow-capped peaks and turquoise lakes. There’s no sense of urgency here, but solid performances keep them in the race. This team might not be the most thrilling, but they’re the steady kind of contender you’d love to have along on the journey.
This team is unpredictable, full of ups and downs—just like a weekend in New Orleans with jazz, hurricanes (both literal and the drink), and spontaneous parades. Some weeks, Adam Driver’s Adlib puts on a brilliant performance, while others are a bit chaotic. No matter the outcome, it’s always entertaining, just like the vibrant streets of the French Quarter.
Frank’s Spank Bank is a high-risk, high-reward kind of team, much like rolling the dice in Vegas. They can deliver big wins when the cards fall right, but they’re just as likely to bust. Whether they’re celebrating a hot streak or licking their wounds after a loss, this team is never boring—and there’s always hope for the next big payout.
This team is laid-back but capable of surprises, much like a relaxed trip to Myrtle Beach with cheap boardwalk thrills and sunny days. Trash Pandas have had fun moments, but they’re not exactly world-class contenders. Still, the ride isn’t over yet—there’s always the chance for a little vacation magic before the season ends.
Pinche Bendejo is quirky and trying its best—like Branson’s mix of country shows and kitschy attractions. It’s a fun diversion, even if it’s not anyone’s first choice for a destination. This team has the charm to win over some fans, but they need to find their footing fast if they want to turn things around.
Dak Picks offers little excitement, like a visit to Des Moines. There are some pleasant moments here and there, but they’re more of a pit stop than a destination. This team hasn’t found their rhythm yet, and unless something changes soon, it’s going to feel like a long, uneventful season.
This team is struggling to stay relevant, much like a trip to Davenport where the highlight might be a fast-food stop. Powderhoundmals hasn’t had much to offer so far, and it feels like they’ve hit every bump in the road. They’ll need a miracle to avoid being stuck in mediocrity for the rest of the season.
Well there you have it. Honestly I think the state of Iowa got cooked the hardest out of anyone in that list. The methodology doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but let that be a reminder that you're just 1 injury and a good FAAB bid away from going from Davenport straight to Bora Bora on a direct flight!
Figure I'd give a quick reminder that there's been a few posts looking for trades, believe Jim was the latest trying to move Davante Rodgers Adams. I know this isn't the easiest league to trade in, but fire off some offers, what's the worst that can happen?
