Week 4 Power Rankings
What an exciting week! Two winless teams grab their first ‘W’, the best team in the league gets knocked off, and two thrilling games go down to the wire Monday night. I had this all written up assuming one scenario, and then two outcomes reversed and I had to shake up the standings. Well, that’s why they play the whole game…and a good reminder that we’re only a third of the way through a long season.
1. The Dngrs Dngrs (Record 4-0, Standings: 1, Previous Week PR: 2)
Somehow hang on to less than a one point lead, and find themselves on top of the standings and these rankings. They’ve managed to win all the close ones so far, which is what good teams find a way to do.
2. Cool Hand (Record 4-0, Standings: 2, Previous Week PR: 3)
This team just keeps on trucking, picking up another workmanlike win. This team has enough strength at the top of the ticket that they just need a bit of support from their lower tier players to be able to beat most teams.
3. The Home Pwners (Record 3-1, Standings: 3, Previous Week PR: 1)
Another solid showing, but this week they just ran into a team firing on all cylinders. That’s what happens when you’re number one; everyone brings their best to take you down.
4. The Schmuckernators (Record 3-1, Standings: 4, Previous Week PR: 5)
Great win for the league’s most wildly inconsistent team thus far. They crush the best overall team despite getting negative points from one player. Just like that, the Schmucks show why they can’t be discounted.
5. Brett’s Benzos BID (Record 2-2, Standings: 5, Previous Week PR: 4)
Perhaps the best comeback this year. All set to take another tough loss and really be buried in the standings, they somehow found a way to pull off the win. This might just have saved their chances to contend for a top 3 seed.
6. Blind Squirrels (Record 2-2, Standings: 6, Previous Week PR: 6)
That loss has to be hard to take, but they put up a good fight against a quality opponent. More weeks like this, and they’ll be taken seriously as a contender.
7. Fat Cats (Record 1-3, Standings: 8, Previous Week PR: 8)
Forced to watch defeat snatched from the jaws of victory when their TE posts a goose egg on Monday night. This team just can’t seem to get it going. Now they really need to make up some ground in the standings by taking advantage of the cupcakes on their schedule over the next two weeks.
8. Cupcakes of Doom! (Record 1-3, Standings: 9, Previous Week PR: 7)
The second straight sub-par showing and third straight loss…and now they go up against the two best teams in the league over the next two weeks. Things are unraveling quickly after a promising beginning to the season.
9. Inglorius Bat Turds (Record 1-3, Standings: 10, Previous Week PR: 11)
One week does not a contender make, but for this week at least, they looked like a team capable of beating a quality opponent. It’s been a rough year so getting this first win has to feel pretty good.
10. Incomprehensibles (Record 2-2, Standings: 7, Previous Week PR: 9)
Any momentum they might have picked up with wins in the last two weeks came screeching to a halt this week. That was the lowest scoring effort of the year, and their have been a lot of low scores on this end of the rankings so far. Ouch.
11. Cactus. Look out! (Record: 1-3, Standings: 11, Previous Week PR: 12)
Congrats to this team for escaping the basement. Add that to a significant roster shake up this past week, and we’ll see if this team can start to turn things around.
12. Minions (Record 0-4, Standings: 12, Previous Week PR: 10)
The Browns finally got the win this week, but this team is really more like the Bengals. In fact, if you think about it, that game was a great parallel for this one…when two awful teams play, one has to win. This one didn’t.
