CO Recess Power Rankings - Weeks 4-I Can't Keep Track Anymore

1. BALLCRUSHERS (2-5)
The long-awaited debut of the green team at the flip cup tables finally happened, and it was glorious. Fueled by two games of kickball and Hayter's luxury cuisine, the BALLCRUSHERS were in the zone. One flip. One flip. One flip. The rest of the league was just glad the green players were dispersed amongst the teams, or it would have been a very lopsided evening. "I'm going to wear a cup if I ever play them in Bags," said Free Agent Waterboy Mario Portillo.

2. The Peep Show (6-1)
Despite the fact that team captain Mark Harrington was dressed as a European House DJ and most of the girls appeared to think they were at a rave, the Peeps went 3-0 in their triple-header. The yellow team sure knows how to rock a theme week. Barring some epic Saturday morning developments, the Peeps are locked into the No. 2 seed and will face Safe Word in the first round.

3. Safe Word (0-7)
Move over, CFB. There's a new sheriff in town. Week in and week out, Safe Word (found out yesterday the word is actually "forfeit") shows up in force at Hayter's, officially wrestling the "loud and obnoxious party team" crown from the O-Face. The gauntlet has been thrown down. How will CFB respond? Tune in to the end-of-season party to find out.

4. Pink Tacos (2-4)
The Meat Curtain got chewed up (heh) by CFB and STU GOTZ, though the latter kicked most of their balls a foot in front of home plate. You can't count such treachery against the Tacos. "One chick actually kicked it from the mound. I hadn't even pitched yet," said Tacos fireballer Kristen KW. Regardless, the Tacos will look to regroup for a tournament run. The Summer 2012 runners-up can't ever be counted out.

6. KNOCKN CLEATS (4-3)
Like the Pink Tacos, KNOCKN CLEATS can be a dark house in the championship race despite an inconsistent regular season. The blue team's players just need to avoid looking ahead to the summer, when the departure of STU GOTZ to CO Mile High and several key free agent acquisitions will make KNOCKN CLEATS the heavy league favorites.

6. Coming From Behind: The O-Face (3-4)
The Saturday tournament will be interesting. CFB will likely start strong, but can the players moderate their drinking enough to have a chance in the later rounds? Vegas puts the over/under of beers consumed before noon by CFB at 248.

7. STU GOTZ (7-0)
Meh. Can't seem to beat anyone by more than five runs. The first-round bye will be crucial for the Mob as they try to advance to the second round.
