Hello Coaches! Welcome to another NFL Sunday, one which will in fact start before these Rankings reach the bustling hubbub of the internet. A new one here for me, actually writing to you as an NFL game takes place, in fact Gano has literally just kicked us off. If this was coming at you live, I could give updates, but alas. You’ll just have to make do with some slightly distracted opinions instead.

12. Tom’s Tyrants (0-4) – No Change
Pffft, that sucked. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. All the points left on the bench in what would have actually been a good week. But here we are. One good decision they made? Picking their division mates, with Winchester remaining wide open.
11. Aaronimal Crossing (0-4) – Down 1
Nice team name, not a nice week. They’re being kept from bottom spot by the poor decisions of the team below them but, arguably, they may be the worse overall team. They’re relying on Kupp and Andrews to make the difference each week.
10. U R Gould (2-2) – Down 1
A win is a win, with an excellent pick up of Williams carrying them just over the line. They need to work out their QB situation, which is holding them back currently. There are signs of a decent roster, but they can’t seem to get all the players going with any consistency.
9. Patistan (2-2) – Down 1
Is this history, right here? An entire division sat at the bottom of the Power Rankings. Well, one of these teams will make the playoffs, that is for sure, but right now they all look like the one-and-done is the best case result. Patistan are the pick of the bunch, so well done them, I guess?
8. Napolitans (2-2) – Down 1
They got blown out the water a little bit last week, with some injuries starting to pile up too. They’re striving for some consistency from the RBs which will increase the weekly floor drastically, but the total points is still good. Doesn’t help that their division looks stacked.
7. Burdettinators (2-2) – Up 4
That sneak up on anyone else? What a week. Massive score, with the whole team going above 10 points. Suddenly, they look loaded all over the roster. If they can keep this momentum going, they will look back and laugh at the sorry start.
6. The Dream Team (1-3) – Down 3
Starting to feel a bit sorry for the reigning champs. They haven’t been massive scorers by any means, and they aren’t shipping an unprecedented level coming the other way, they just can’t seem to get a result. My faith in the roster can only argue with the maths for so long.
5. Forge Flyers (3-1) – Up 1
Penny recapturing some of that late-21 form pushes this Forge Flyers team back into the standard model of RB heavy. Even without anything notable coming from Kamara, to date. Maybe not looking the most intimidating team yet, but certainly solid.
4. Buccing The Trend (3-1) – Down 2
In the battle of the undefeated teams, they came out underneath. It didn’t quite hit the heights expected, with a messy situation around Tua denying them a fair shot at the matchup. It wasn’t a terrible week, but they’ll need to bounce back to prove they deserve to be at the top of the pile.
3. Gridiron Gang (2-2) – Down 2
An off week for sure, and it ends their grip on the top spot. The good news for them, is that Melvin Gordon’s role just got far more valuable in Denver. But, as of right now, there are more consistently strong teams in the league.
2. IKSAN (4-0) – Up 3
Would they have been my pick for most likely to remain undefeated? Clearly not. But, they are, and they look good for it. They continue to climb the Rankings, and they continue to play the matchups and get good returns. A savvy season, thus far.
1. Bear Necessities (3-1) – Up 3
A very big score this week. I lauded over the RB corps to start the season, and so far they had flattered to deceive. Until Week 4. Well, now they’re the top scorers in the league and looking every bit as tough to take down as expected.

And we’re finished. Most of the way through the 1st quarter, just seen Lazard do the Haaland celebration to baffle some Americans and, I would imagine, piss off some local Spurs fans. Time to enjoy the rest of the game and the rest of the weekend. Until next time.
