Power Rankings: Week 7

As we reach the midway point of the LOC regular season, you would think that an early semblance of a playoff picture would be appearing. If you do, then you are horribly mistaken. The LOC has turned upside down, sideways and inside out in the last few weeks, and the result is an ever more difficult power rankings.

Power Rankings

1. IKNAN, 3-3 (2): The impressive weeks continue for Coach Sherwood side. Now at full strength, the idiot that won't die tour is in full swing and he's out for blood. One of the deeper rosters in the league combined with one of the best starting lineups is always a good position to be in. The only thing holding this team back is if the coach remembers to change the team.

2. Gridiron Gang, 4-2 (1): See I told you, I'd put myself to the top and screw myself. Joking aside, Gridiron Gang has been unbelievably consistent thus far, and even in a loss they still posted over 100 points and would have beaten 9 other teams. They just so happened to come against a team they always struggle against. This team still has a lot going on and should bounce back.

3. Burdettinators, 4-2 (4): The ultra-consistent team probably should have been this high already but it took time to we weed the other pretenders out. Even though they did indeed lose last week (The Dream Team deserved to win a game like that to be fair), Burdettinators still posted a good score. If they can post scores in that region like they've done all season, the wins will come.

4. Patistan, 4-2 (5): Don't look now but Patistan is white hot and has run 4 in a row. Last week was some what of a down week with an eh score (and they were very fortunate to win in what has to be the closest victory of LOC history), but this team has been far better than the one we saw through the first 2 weeks. The Portsmouth division is shaping up to be quite interesting.

5. The Brady Bunch, 2-4 (3): So maybe I got a little bit carried away with the whole #BradyOrBust thing...but I'm not backing off it, because Brady looks like he's out to embarrass the rest of the league. The rest of The Brady Bunch however are hit and miss at best. That hit potential plus Brady is enough for me to believe they can contend.

6. The Dream Team, 2-4 (6): Hooray! Rejoice, Coach Nathwani finally wins a game he deserved to win. Joking aside, The Dream Team is only this low purely cause of the horrendous bad luck they've had to this point. The monkey on their back has loosened its grip this week, but I'll need to see another win or two before it's fully shaken off.

7. Cash4Gould, 3-3 (7): Look, we know what this team is by this point, and barring an injury happening to them that won't change. It's a boom or bust team that will either surprise or disappoint on a weekly basis. In the current state of the LOC, that's not actually a bad position to be in. But regardless, that lack of consistency doesn't allow them to climb any higher.

8. Forge Flyers, 3-3 (8): On the one hand, you have to feel for the bitter loss Coach Leach has just had to swallow. On the other...I'm sure they're quite happy to even be in a position to compete in a game like that based on their last couple of seasons. They're an ultra consistent team in the Burdettinators mold but lack the upside, so they'll continue to compete for sure.

9. The Tuckfards, 3-3 (10): Coach Merritt's change from sacrificing chickens to goats has done wonders for his fantasy team as he has now won 3 in a row. Cthulu has blessed this team with new life, largely helped by West becoming a starting RB, Gronk returning, and a few other bits and bobs. While I still doubt the season long prospects, there's no denying they're flying high right now.

10. Tom's Tyrants, 2-4 (11): There is life at TTY HQ. Mainly because Lamar Miller finally pulled his finger out, and Luck had the type of game he should but barely has all season. Be that as it may, on paper we have always thought this team was good, but poor play and bad luck has derailed them thus far. If this even changes a bit this could completely change the outlook of Tom's Tyrants.

11. ADRZ, 3-3 (8): Aaaaand back to the ADRZ we all know and love. After a few really good weeks Coach Well's team just fell off the map last week as the team forget they had a game on Sunday. I don't think their performances are going to be this bad every week, but it does go to show that the early season struggles are far from dead and buried.

12. Bear Necessities, 3-3 (12): They got a win you say, they stopped the 3 game slide you say. Well I say this team won with 80 points against one of the few teams they could have actually beaten. I'm not being harsh, just stating facts. However, we could see a resurgence on the horizon for Coach Stubbs Sr. as he will get Diggs and Moncrief back soon which would be huge for them.
