Power Rankings: Week 6

Were in the full swing of what is another quagmire of an LOC season, but you're loving every second of it....right? Well anyway, with bye weeks coming hard and fast and half the league ravaged by injury, power is all over the place in the league. Where is it this week I wonder?

Power Rankings

1. Gridiron Gang, 4-1 (3): I've been reluctant to do it because I don't want to curse myself and appear to show bias...but I feel you can understand why I can no longer keep Gridiron Gang out of first spot. The highest scoring team, the only team yet to drop below 90 points in a game, and at 4-1. They've had a tremendous start to the year (cue face plant).

2. IKNAN, 2-3 (2): They haven't had quite as an explosive start as the top team, but make no mistake they've been essentially as consistent. This is a team playing without its second round pick. Expect good things going forward for IKNAN and their record to improve, despite another disappointing loss.

3. The Brady Bunch, 2-3 (7): You know why this team is hear. Now that the team name has changed, you know this team has the greatest player of all time in their line up. Call me a homer all you want, but Gridiron Gang showed how effective #BradyOrBust could be. It helps Coach Nunn has a good roster too.

4. Burdettinators, 4-1 (4): Up until this week, they were the only other team not to dip below 90 points. While it certainly hasn't been an exciting start to the season for Coach Burdett, the remarkable consistency is why they're sat at 4-1, and if they can keep it up it'll carry them to the playoffs.

5. Patistan, 3-2 (5): As I've been saying for a couple of weeks now, Coach Allen's squad is on the up and up. The roster has finally found firm ground and now they can get to work. While the slow start could make things tricky, they're poised for success here on out.

6. The Dream Team, 1-4 (1): So this is a pretty big drop for Coach Nathwani after one week that was slightly sub par. But my reasoning for it is this. Although it's been entirely random and unlucky that they only have 1 win, sometimes this is just how seasons go. They'll have to shake the monkey off their back soon.

7. Cash4Gould, 3-2 (10): Think of Coach Gardner's side as TBB lite. The rookie coach is having a tremendous season, and they had a great week despite losing. They are going to continue to be volatile, and may make some mistakes in the learning process, but all things considered should have a good year.

8. ADRZ, 3-2 (11): So I've done the equivalent of poking a hornets nest with a stick, only for them to all fly out and go nuts. Sorry ADRZ opponents. Coach Well's team has looked completely different the last through weeks, and they'll move up quickly if they can keep it up.

9. Forge Flyers, 3-2 (9): Coach Leach's team looks solid-not-spectacular through 5 weeks of the season, but I think they'll be more than happy with that after the last few years. Just because they're 9th don't think they're a bad team. They can contend with most any team, but the injuries have crippled their upside.

10. The Tuckfards, 2-3 (12): I guess my comments on the podcast got Coach Merritt a bit jacked up. Big Ben has been a large reason for The Tuckfard's resurgence, but hey, if the shoe fits? Let's see if the winningest coach in the LOC can channel his magic again.

11. Tom's Tyrants, 1-4 (8): This team is just waiting until we all least expect it to come out firing. But in the mean time, they're having a tough go of it of late. Under performers and players not coming together as a team has really held back Coach Barnes's team so far, but that could easily change.

12. Bear Necessities, 2-3 (6): As Coach Stubbs Sr saw Bennett put up a third TD for his bench he said "it's just not my year". While I don't think it's all over, I would tend to agree. I'm not sure we've ever seen a team look so different in such a short space of time. But until otherwise, they're rooted.
