Okay just looking at these games
Texans South v Madrid-DTS stops the bleeding and finishes strong
Texans v Solar Red-Pre season I would have picked Red to be the team to challenge DT. Not now. Even with DT struggles of late they win easily

Solar v FC Dallas Gold-Not sure whats going on at camp solar but I am off the bandwagon and from what I saw last weekend the wheels have fallen off. Gold finishes the season strong

Andro Red v Club Classic-Not buying CC stock. A few impressive wins over their paygrade had the stock overvalued. SELL SELL SELL. Andro and I am giving the Axxman personal guarantee on that one.

Azzurri v Gunners-The master motivator will finish the season with a bang
Fort Worth v Texans Red-Close one to call FWFC likes to play in physicall but The connellites are some the biggest kids I have ever seen. DTR
Barcelona v Chivas-this will be a no holes barred fight. Not sure what everyone was going on about. Chivas was some ugly soccer. Not even kickball, more of a puntball. Barca sticks to the plan and they will get the win.

I agree with your sentiment towards Texans Red and Barcelona, but like FC Dallas Gold this weekend. All 3 are playing much better this Spring than they did in the Fall. You can stick a fork in Solar as they seem to be done on (and off) the field.

Along those lines, here's an interesting listing of the difference in seasonal ranking between the Fall and Spring seasons. The key measurement here is the difference in position (relative to your peers) between the Fall and Spring seasons. The Fall and Spring are essentially treated as individual seasons for this analysis. Obviously, the quality of scheduled opponents can vary drastically between seasons, and this is not an attempt to list who is playing the best right now. It is more of a look at how teams are performing now in relation to the Fall. They are either gaining better, similar or worse results.

Breaking the chart into 3 parts provides an interesting picture. At the top you have 5 teams that are clearly getting better results on the field. They should have a lot of confidence/momentum going into the off-season. This could be a huge factor for the teams in growing towards next season. Then you have a group of 8 that have been fairly consistent in how they have performed relative to the rest of the league. Some are good and some are bad, but they do seem to have settled into their positions firmly. Finally, you have 7 teams that have tailed off a bit in the Spring. What I find the most interesting about this last group is the fact that 6 of 7 finished the Fall in the top 10, while the other was just outside at 12. Only 2 of these teams have managed (to this point) to equal their top 10 seasonal ranking from the Fall during the Spring.

There are still 2 weeks to go, so these numbers will undoubtedly change. What will be interesting to see is by how much.
