Power Rankings: Week 3

You see, I wasn't kidding when I said the power shifts would be all over the place after Week 1. While some teams followed up with an equally impressive performance, some looked a shadow of their Week 1 self, and some others raised eyebrows.

Power Rankings

1. IKNAN, 2-0 (6): Are you fricking kidding me? Another great week by this team, and they're still not even close to full strength. With Foster due to come back soon and Mike Evans still not back to full strength, it's mind boggling you look at this team and know they're just going to get better. They are the team to beat right now.

2. The Romosexuals, 1-1 (2): Before you question this, I'd just like to point out their starting QB and RB both got injured mid game. Yeah, score doesn't look so bad now does it? Despite the loss, this team still has a frightening starting lineup. They'll be starting another QB, but there are options out there. As long as this coach focuses on the team, they could have a very nice season.

3. Burdettinators, 2-0 (3): Look, it was a bad week. The QB put up just under a third of their points, and garbage time won them the game. But this team is a lot better than what they did this week, and they are going to bounce back. Once some players in their team get going this team will turn heads.

4. Patistan, 1-1 (7): Congratulations on the first win of the franchises history, and I'm sure they're delighted with who it was against. While a few big performances made up for some low scorers, you can't help but feel this team is going to be around 100 points every week, one way or another. I think it's clear this Coach learnt a lot in his Rookie season for Jeff's Seals.

5. ADRZ, 2-0 (8): Ok ok, this team is quietly having a nice season. After putting up a steady Week 1, they've come back and delivered another steady week. The team is built for consistency, they'll have a few bad players every week but they'll also have some good. This could be a bounce back year for the 5th year coach.

6. Bear Necessities, 0-2 (5): Another good week by this team, but they still left with a loss. You know it's going to be a rough season when you score enough to win a game and end up losing. The team is good though, and if they get going (and face some easier opposition) the wins should start rolling in.

7. Tom's Tyrants, 1-1 (1): This teams fall is only in small part because of their performance, but mainly about what other teams did. It was a bad week, but nothing that can't be corrected with a few waiver moves and some players on the bench. While the injuries are piling up and some players haven't properly got going yet, this team still looks poised for success.

8. Jeff's Seals, 1-1 (9): You could certainly make a case for this team being higher. They got the win, and a nice point total with much of the team struggling. Look, they're not a great team, but they're good enough to make you think they can challenge every week, and at the end of the day that's all you need. Bye weeks will be key for this team.

9. The Dream Team, 1-1 (11): This team did exactly what they needed to do after a disappointing Week 1. They picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and went to work. While it isn't a powerhouse, they have the looks of a squad that are going to grind and struggle their way to good performances. Don't sleep on this team.

10. The Tuckfards, 0-2 (12): Ok, I was premature on 'the era is over' thing. This team had a very nice rebound week, which probably shocks no one. They were inches away from a win too. While I'm still not in love with the team, like Bill Belichick, everyone knows this coach will get the best out of his team from the most unlikely of sources.

11. Gridiron Gang, 1-1 (4): I don't think we've ever seen a team fall so far from one week to another. After a wildly promising Week 1 this team now looks like it's on life support. They had a bad week, it happens, but both their starting RBs picked up injuries, and their depth now looks shaky at best. Brady may end up having to carry this team.

12. Forge Flyers, 0-2 (10): Hmm. While I never like to kick a team down, or stick a fork in a team prematurely, Coach Leach has a job on his hands to turn this season around. And he needs to do it quickly. Already 2 games behind, with a roster that has shown very little through two weeks, you have to start worrying about what lays ahead for this team.
