There was a bit of a shake up in the Power Rankings this week, thanks to a few upsets, and a larger data sample...
1. FFLW--Stays atop the poll for now, but brantford is right on their heels. The margin between one and two is a near statistical tie.
2. Brantford--Bought a hell of a team...
3. Newcastle--Despite being 9-0 Newcastle only has 1 "quality win." They have two wins (Canberra and Emerald City that would have been if they'd scored 1-2 more points).
4. Fiji--The Sea Turtles could really legitimize themselves with wins in their next two games.
5. FFLivewire--Like much of the top of Zeta, a weak schedule makes it difficult to ascertain the team's true strength.
6. West Scranton--Established themselves pretty well in new league.
7. Brisbane (G)--Only three tough games left on their schedule.
8. Emerald City--Game of the week this week is Fiji @ EC. Good chance for both teams to show where they really stand.
9. New England--Beat a better-than-their-record team in Aussie last week. Starting to find their rhythm.
10. The U Canes--3 losses by a combined 14 points, to teams with a combined 22-5 record. This team stands the best shot at playing the spoiler role come playoff time.
...and five to grow on....
11. Rawle
12. Tongan
13. Las Vegas
14. Canberra
15. Wagga Wagga/IC (ok, well six...)
