Power Rankings
1. Patistan, 7-2 (1): Coach Allen's team is officially no longer a sleeper, but a fully fledged contender. Patistan just seems to get stronger every week, putting up one of the highest point totals so far this season last week. At 7-2, Patistan is almost assured of a playoff spot at this point. They've just got to focus on staying strong now.
2. Burdettinators, 5-4 (4): Burdettinators posted their highest scoring total of the year last week, but were outscored and lost the game. It's encouraging though, as we've yet to see Burdettinators show explosiveness. This teams prospects are great, they should be able to keep it going. However, to get a playoff berth its looking increasingly more likely they'll have to do it via the wildcard.
3. ADRZ, 6-3 (6): The champs team has finally returned to form. After a very slow start, ADRZ has been really good ever since. The big names on the roster have regained their form and alleviated any concerns, while they've picked up some really nice pieces along the way to solidify the team. With a 2 game lead in the division, they're looking a good bet to return to the playoffs.
4. IKNAN, 3-6 (3): Hard to believe an IKNAN side that has been so good is 3-6. You really have to feel for Coach Sherwood, this team has done exceedingly well, especially with all the injuries they've had to withstand, but they just keep getting outscored. At this point in the season, it would be very hard for IKNAN to come back and get a playoff spot - but not impossible.
5. Gridiron Gang, 4-5 (2): My oh my, what happened? In Gridiron Gangs defense, 3 of their last 4 losses they had good weeks but got out scored. Last week was not one of those weeks. Looking like an early season power house, Coach Stubbs Jr's side have hit a number of speed bumps. However, they've still got a lot of good pieces and could turn it around.
6. The Brady Bunch, 4-5 (5): #BradyOrBust is just fine....when you have Tom Brady on your team. Alas, it was the Patriots bye last week, so it surprises no one that Coach Nunn's team struggled. He will return this week to reignite the roster and they'll be back to their high floor high upside selves. This team could be a force down the stretch.
7. Tom's Tyrants, 5-4 (7): What did I say early on? Go back and read the power rankings from the start of the season. Coach Barnes just has a gift for turning seasons around. I'm not going to give him credit though. We all thought the roster was good coming into the season, it just took them a month or so to come through on that. Some key acquisitions have really helped them though.
8. The Dream Team, 4-5 (8): Another team that has recovered nicely from a poor start. Coach Nathwani has shaken the monkey off his back (or perhaps more aptly, bribed it to go and sit on someone else's). They've scored a lot, but they've had even more scored against them. However, the division is soft, and they could still come out as the winner.
9. Forge Flyers, 4-5 (10): You love to see a performance like that by Coach Leach, who has now achieved his highest win total since 2013. While Forge Flyers won't have a week like they just did every week, they are a very consistent side, and they are always in with a shout of winning a game if their opponent stumbles. They have an outside chance at a playoff spot.
10. The Tuckfards, 4-5 (9): The Tuckfards came crashing back down to Earth last week. This is the part where you expect me to rip into Coach Merritt and say the team sucks right? Well, I'm not going to do that. This team is definitely a rag tag bunch, heck Phil would probably be the first person to say that. But as far as rag tag bunches go, they're probably a "9 pushing 10".
11. Bear Necessities, 5-4 (11): A nice week last week for a Bear Necessities side that is finally rounding back into good health. I think the early season explosiveness of this team has gone away (which you expect after injuries), but what's left is a solid roster that should be consistent if nothing else. They could move up in the next few weeks and have a great shot at playoffs.
12. Cash4Gould, 3-6 (12): Another nice week from Coach Gardner last week where they just got outscored. And it's a great shame, because the great weeks are going to be few and far between. They rely on a few players to get their points, if that doesn't happen, they're not scoring. Fortunately for them, those players are living up to expectation at the moment.
