Who's leading their packs after Week 5, and who's on their tails in wild card spots:

• Grant - 7 heaven (35-20-5)
• Obama - Triple Crown (36-21-3)

• Sparland Hilltoppers (31-24-5)
• Bo Hart All Stars (29-25-6)
• Anabolic A Rods (28-25-7)
• BJ Penn (30-27-3)

2 teams from the Reagan Division and 2 teams from the Grant Division take the 4 wild card spots this week, further intensifying the race for best division between those two.  And now a look at this week's schedule for Week 6:

• All Balls No Strikes (19-37-4) vs. Most Daring (22-35-3)
• Bo Hart All Stars (29-25-6) vs. Sparland Hilltoppers (31-24-5)
• Funky Cold Molina (27-30-3) vs. Bambinos (23-29-8)
• 7 heaven (35-20-5) vs. BooBooCubs (27-28-5)
• Quincy Dirtbags (22-35-3) vs. BJ Penn (30-27-3)
• Bushwhackers (23-36-1) vs. JSloan (24-33-3)
• Triple Crown (36-21-3) vs. Muse Academy Muses (35-23-2)
• Anabolic A Rods (28-25-7) vs. Sparland Hilltoppers (31-24-5)

Another week of quality match-ups feature a battle of division leaders and wild card teams fighting for the top spots in the division.

Nowadays, when one hears Reagan vs. Obama, it usually refers to a debate over political philosophies and beliefs.  But here, it means a battle of division leaders.  This week's featured match-up has Obama Division leading Triple Crown and Reagan Division leading Muse Academy Muses.  For Triple Crown, a 12-game lead in the division means a focus on rising above its current 3-seed.  But for Muse Academy Muses, a tight division battle means a win this week would keep Sparland Hilltoppers and Bo Hart All Stars at bay, but possibly move up a seed or two.

Good luck to all in Week 6 of the IFB!
