Warrior General Games

After 4 games, including a valiant showing by Mean Machine, the West Scranton Invaders once again firmly hold their grasp on the #1 ranking. That said, with two narrow margin victories in the GLB Pro World Tournament and the aforementioned MM game, the rest of Oceania Pro may start to smell trace hints of blood in the water. Undefeated teams So Cal, Cascade and Mata-Utu appear ready if/when their time comes. Cascade has routed every OPL team in their path so far, including two top 10 teams in the Prime Timers and most recently in week 5 against the Bad Mofa's, and will be the first to challenge for OPL's top spot. Their week 6 game against Mean Machine will provide some strong insight into just how ready they are for their week 10 matchup.

Questions to consider after 4 weeks... will a top 10 appearance only fuel Osaka's fire?... are the Strike and Stingers overrated after favorable early season schedules?... can LaShonTell handle playing for a team not ranked in the top 10?... are we witnessing the downfall of the once most feared city in all of OPL with all three Brisbane teams ranked outside of the top 15?... so many questions, yet a lot games left to be played!!

Falling Of The Radar
Cook Island Convicts, Samoa Gangsters

Nineteen teams participated this week.
() denotes first places votes

Fun Facts: There was a vote for the Cook Islands Cobras (typo or spite from a bitter rivalry?)... Fiji Stingers were all over the map (ranked as high as 5th and as low as 27th)

I awarded a first place vote with 32 points, 2nd with 31, and so on down the line. In the event of a tie an average of the scores is awarded (ie. tie for 2nd between two teams results in a 30.5 for both).


Thanks to all those who voted this week!!! Way to go guys.. lets keep building on this!!!

BDC was pretty close to trumping WSI's score there.

thanks for putting this together

They are the clearcut #2 with only 2 team reps not ranking them as such

Sun Devils too high.

Brantford is moving up!

considering who cascade has ripped to this point, I can see putting them at 2 as well. I honestly don't know where i had them, 2nd or 3rd, but i do recall mulling over it.

amazing, 3 of us had WSI 25th or worse and they still got ranked 1st

Nope, the Stingers were ranked higher than the Sea Turtles in all 19 votes

I'm not on Brantford.

I just think they're cool.

Orlando should be top 5, but other than that, solid list, and I like it in this format.

Blood in the water huh? lol

Nice write up!

Only trace hints... (I must have changed that wording 5 or 6 times... I finally added the "may" and "trace hints")

We have to keep some hope alive!!!
