2018 Power Rankings: Week 10
So, happy Sunday everyone! That isn’t an opener I get to use
often, but it is a good thing for two whole reasons: 1) There is plenty of
football to sink your teeth into today. 2) Only two more days until your next
instalment of the Power Rankings! That second part is especially prudent if you
are not a fan of your position this week although, as always, you can of course
send any complaints to the EDOTLOCCA HQ. As the coaches of the LOC, I know I
don’t need to remind any of you the contact details, so on with the rankings!
12. Gridiron Gang (0-9-0) – No Change
We have our answer; Thielen’s 100 yard game record was no
match for Gridiron Gang’s winless streak. Look, everyone knows this is a lost
season, but Fournette is turning in full practises and with him comes the
cleanest bill of health Gridiron Gang have had all season, there is still time
to save some face.
11. Patistan (2-7-0) – No Change
Speaking of lost seasons, no one said Patistan were suddenly
on their way to the playoffs, but with a second consecutive 110+ point week
they were arguably an active TE away from win 3. This roster’s arrow is
definitely trending upwards, they are going to stop someone making the
playoffs, I guarantee it.
10. Obi Wan Ganobi (4-5-0) – No Change
Uhh, I wanted to move this team up, they put up a decent
score and gave a real contender all they could handle. But. Over half their
points came from QB and DST, only two other players made double digits.
Admittedly, they have recently taken up the mantle of most injury-riddled team,
but they’re running out of time for a playoff push.
9. Guns N Rosen (4-5-0) – No Change
They just hold onto their spot because I believe this is a
better team than the showing we got last week and now they’ve got their key
Colts back. I mentioned that this team was at the mercy of their coach during
bye weeks but most of their tougher weeks are past them. Side note, what a
boring power rankings so far, no changers to speak of.
8. Forge Flyers (5-4-0) – No Change
Okay, okay, I challenged Coach Leach to prove his team to me
and he picked up the win. 75 points will rarely bump you up the rankings though
and I think I am going to need further convincing. This upcoming week, they get
to play their old rival, Coach Sherwood, win again and I promise I’ll move the
Flyers up. …Still no changes, I must be getting good at this!
7. Burdettinators (4-5-0) – Down 2
Okay, someone had to move. Otherwise you, the loyal fan
base, might start questioning my integrity. This team has been up and down the
middle rankings for a while now and, although they were struggling with byes in
Week 9, they proved unable to hang with one of the big boys. I have liked this
roster for a while now, with
6. IKSAN (6-3-0) – Up 1
Probably the biggest yo-yo team in the rankings at this
stage, I can never seem to get them quite right. They just put up their biggest
score on the season, are sitting pretty on a 6-3 record and they have plenty of
firepower on the roster, it just seems rare that they are all firing as one. They
will need more consistency to get into the playoffs.
5. Bear Necessities (6-3-0) – Up 1
I said I was waiting to see how they coped with their killer
bye week; well they coped. Putting up over 100 points, in those circumstances,
is worthy of a boost up the rankings. I am still not convinced that they
contain the weapons of teams above them, but I have been wrong about this team
all season, so why stop now.
4. The Tuckfards (5-4-0) – Down 3
This drop looks more drastic than it potentially is. They
are still a very talented team, they just seem to have a few players going a
bit cold. What was consistent through the first few weeks has been up and down
of late and they will need to right the ship quickly as they currently sit in
the 6th seed. Still the 3rd highest scorers however, and
the patience with Olsen looks to be paying off, smart pick up there.
3. The Dream Team (6-3-0) – Up 1
They have proved time and again that they have the roster to
hang with the big shots in the LOC and finally bust into the top 3. Consistently
finding RB2s has been the success of this team and Coach Nathwani deserves
credit for it, but at Yeldon and Murray face the end of the workhorse roles
with bigger fish returning to the fold, that challenge looms larger. The
severity of Green’s injury could make or break their season.
2. ADRZ (6-3-0) – Up 1
A modest boost after yet another weekly high score – 3 in
the last 4 weeks! Keeping them from the top is the level of competition in
their division, they and The Tuckfards have constantly yo-yoed for the top
spot, IKSAN are currently level on record and Forge Flyers are far from out of
it. This one is going to the wire, ADRZ will need to keep piling on the points
to stay on the front foot.
1. Tom’s Tyrants (6-3-0) – Up 1
This team has been the no. 1 seed for a few weeks now and
they finally make it to the top of the rankings. Unlike some of their close
rivals, they rarely share the top weekly score mantle yet their consistency has
been impressive. Crucially, they are two games ahead of the rest of their
division – no other division leader is even half a game ahead.
