Your dumb if you think the West wasn't stronger than the East last year! It wasn't even close.

Us Spartans considered our game vs. the Seminoles as the championship, simply because we knew whoever won that game would automatically win the championship! HAHA

Us, Sphere, or the Seminoles would have (or did) all beat the Jagged Schoals in the championship.....tell me I'm wrong......



check 3 posts above you.

Eastern Conference Power Rankings: -someone else will have to do this for the west, took me too long to do these

fyi - opponents true win/loss record is what the record would be if they never played that team. For example, NY's opponent's win/loss record is 22-27, but if NY (7-0) had never played those teams the win/loss record would be 22-20.

#1 NY Steel Heads (7-0), opponent true win/loss (22-20)
NY has been cruising so far and gets the top spot over Orlando because of the tougher schedule so far and convincing wins against the Colorado Storm, Chicago CBMB, Chicago Grizzlies, and the French Lick.

Up Next: #7 DC warriors (4-3). A team that started off the season 0-2, but has since won 4 of its last 5 to reach 4-3.

#2 Colorado Storm (6-1), opponent true win/loss (19-23)
What? A one loss team ahead of an undefeated team? Colorado gets this spot because their only loss has been to NY, while the Chicago CBMB victory is a more convincing win than Orlando's win over the Care Bears. Other Key Win: #7 DC

Up Next: unranked Miami (0-7). This game should be ugly, but Colorado did have trouble putting away West Bend last week. If they have trouble against Miami, they may drop below Orlando in the rankings.

#3 Orlando Pirates (7-0), opponent true win/loss (18-24)
Another undefeated team in the east, they've had convincing wins over DC, Care Bears, and the Grizzlies. They just miss the #2 spot since Colorado beat #4 Chicago CBMB and Orlando's best win has been against the #6 Care Bears.

Up next: The Game of the week against #5 Minnesota Drillers. A win here and a poor showing by Colorado and Orlando will take over the #2 spot.

#4 Chicago CBMB Bears (6-2), opponent true win/loss (24-18)
They're 2 losses have come against top ranked #1 NY and #2 Colorado, but the win over the Minnesota Drillers and the hardest schedule among ranked teams so far secures them the #4 spot. Other key win: French Lick (4-3)

Up next: Battle of the Windy city as they take on the #8 Chicago Grizzlies. A win here will help solidify their spot in the top echelon of the west before they take on #7 DC next week.

#5 Minnesota Drillers (6-1), opponent true win/loss (18-24)
Yes, they only have 1 loss but that loss came to #4 Chicago CBMB and their best wins have come against #7 DC warriors (4-3) and the #6 Care Bears (5-2).

Up next: The game of the week against the #3 Orlando Pirates. A win here and they mess up my rankings behind all belief.

#6 Care Bears (5-2), opponent true win/loss (20-22)
Losses to #3 Orlando and #5 Minnesota seal the Care Bears in the #6 spot as their only resume win is against the #8 Chicago Grizzlies.

Up Next: Unranked Cleveland. This should be ugly and the Care Bears are likely already looking ahead to French Lick in a week and #2 Colorado in 2 weeks.

#7 DC Warriors (4-3), opponent true win/loss (23-19)
They started of the season with 2 losses to #3 Orlando, and #5 Minnesota before wining 4 of the last 5 with the only loss to #2 Colorado. A convincing wing against the French Lick as well as the 2nd toughest schedule amongst ranked opponents so far puts them in the #7 spot.

Up Next: #1 NY Steelheads. A win or respectable showing here will show if DC has really progressed from the early season losses and a bad loss will show that they belong right here.

#8 Chicago Grizzlies (4-3), Opponent true win/loss (21-21)
All 3 losses have come to respectable teams (#1 NY, #3 Orlando, and #6 Care bears), but they don't have any resume wins yet as the best win is against cross-town rivals the Chicago LMG. They get the final spot in the rankings due to a tougher schedule than French Lick or Pennsylvania.

Up next: #4 Chicago CBMB. Please don't win, it would really mess up my rankings

On the outside looking in:
French Lick (4-3): They've lost to respectable teams (#1NY, #4 CBMB, and #7 DC), but they haven't beaten a team with more than 1 win. Up next is Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Lion (3-4): They've had a tough road so far losing to the Grizzlies, Care Bears, Orlando, and Minnesota, but don't have any resume building wins as they haven't beaten a team with more than 1 win. Up next French Lick.


ok - I got bored at work and decided to do the west - about halfway done and will post their power rankings tonight.

not bitchin man, just looking forward to when we can actually establish which conference is better....


jearly I owe you an apology. I mis understood the tone of your post. I was responding from my cell phone that is why it looks like it was written by a two year old.

I feel like the Biggie vs Tupac rivalry has re-ignited with this entire East vs. West talk.

West was clearly stronger last year and our top 3-4 teams would have run the table in the east. Tallahassee beat Denton last year during the regular season. They we able to win the re-match against us (and Sphere) because they happened to level at the exact right time and taught us all a lesson. All their starters hit lvl 8 in the first round of the play-offs and were able to take advantage of all the equipment upgrades while Sphere and Tallahassee players were all level 7s because they rotated so much last year. Sphere and Tally both beat Denton, and I still feel we would have won the re-match if we were able to have the same equipment advantages they had.

Frankly I thought they should have advanced the top two teams from the West last year instead of giving the east a spot. The winner of the east last year would have been about 5th or 6th in the west.

Again, that was LAST YEAR. I can not say 100% that the west is better THIS year. Clearly the east did some major upgrading and the Steelheads in particular look pretty f'ing tough. There was not anyone I saw in the east that scared me LAST year. This year is a different story. The east has some really good looking teams. I still think top to bottom the west is a little more competitive, but I admit my bias. Its not as clear cut as some of my Western counterparts are making it out to be.

hope you're right, they're a tough team... We need to win games like this if we want to be considered in the top echelon of the league.

not a problem man (at least the cell phone explains the typing )

last year I agree it was pretty clear cut, this year I"m not so sure... West is still really tough just like last year, but some of the east teams went out and got some studs in the offseason. I guess you could say the West's play helped elevate the East

I sure did touch a nerve though

Western Conference Power Rankings

again - the opponents true win/loss record is what the record would be if they never played that team. For example, Omaha's opponent's win/loss record is 19-30, but if Omaha (7-0) had never played those teams the win/loss record would be 19-23.

#1 Omaha Mavericks (7-0), opponent true win/loss (19-23)
At the top of the East is the Omaha Mavericks with a bruising defense (they've only allowed 22 points in 7 games) that allowed them to knock off the #2 Tallahassee Seminoles, #7 Dallas Horns, and #8 K-town Hates Phil.

Up Next: San Francisco Stonecutters, which they should handle easily before moving on to the big matchup next week against #5 Chicago MB

#2 Tallahassee Seminoles (6-1), opponent true win/loss (18-24)
Tallahassee’s only loss was a 9-3 score against top rated Omaha, while gaining a convincing win against the #3 Sphere. They haven’t been tested so far this year, but they are looking solid and ready to repeat their playoff run from last year.

Up Next: Tallahassee gets the enigmatic #8 K-town Hates Phil who previously beat #4 Houston and barely lost to #1 Omaha, but followed up with a loss to the Austin Longhorns?? Expect Tallahassee to take care of business and stay in the #2 slot.

#3 Carribbean Sphere (5-2), opponent true win/loss 23-19
The Sphere have key wins against the #8 K-town Hates Phil, #5 Chicago “MB” Bears, and San Francisco. While their loss to #2 Tallahassee is respectable, they have a puzzling loss to the #7 Dallas Horns. However, the win over K-town and the toughest schedule of the ranked teams so far earns them the #3 spot.

Up Next: The Real Austin Longhorns. The Sphere should win this one, but look for Real Austin to put up a fight to get a little respect and the #8 spot in the rankings.

#4 Houston Orangebloods (6-1), opponent true win/loss (20-22)
Houston’s probably going to be pissed at the #4 ranking after beating #7 Dallas, #5 Chicago and the Real Austin Long-horns, but their loss to #8 K-town and lower strength of schedule puts them just below the Sphere for this week.

Up Next: #6 Texas Roughnecks. A win here will firm up Houston’s standing as one of the top 4 teams in the West.

#5 Chicago “MB” Bears (5-2), opponent true win/loss (20-22)
One of the easier teams to slot in the rankings - a win against the #6 Texas Roughnecks and losess to the #3 Sphere and #4 Houston makes the #5 Spot perfect for them.

Up next: The MB may be excused for looking past the soon to be BBB Allen Zephyrs to taking on #1 Omaha next week.

#6 Texas Roughnecks (6-1), opponent true win/loss (20-22)
Wins against the #7 Dallas Horns, #8 K-town, Real Austin, and San Francisco combined with a loss to #5 Chicago “MB” Bears slots Texas into the #6 spot.

Up Next: #4 Houston – in the game of the week in the West, Texas looks to make its case for a top 4 ranking in the West.

#7 Dallas Horns (4-3), opponent true win/loss( 22-20)
Dallas’ 3 respectable losses were aginst #1 Omaha, #6 Texas, and #4Houston, but its the win over #3 Sphere that earns Dallas the nod over #8 K-town and Real Austin.

Up Next: The 2-5 Austin Longhorns, Dallas maybe looking ahead to #2 Tallahassee next week?

#8 K-town hates Phil (3-4), opponent true win/loss (23-19)
K-town is possibly schizo after beating #4 Houston, barely losing to #1 Omaha, and then inexplicably losing to Austin?? They’re other two losses against the #6 Texas Roughnecks and #3 Sphere are respectable.

Up Next: #2 Tallahassee – a win here will make this team even more confusing, which K-town will show up this week?

outside looking in

Real Austin Longhorns (4-3) : All 3 losses are against good teams (#5 Chicago “MB” Bears, #1 Omaha, and #6 Texas), but they’ll need a more signature win than San Francisco to break into the rankings. A win against the Sphere this week would likely earn them that respect and an entry into the rankings.

San Francisco (3-4): All 4 losses are respectable (Real Austin, #4 Houston, #6Texas, #3 Sphere), but their 3 wins have come against opponents with 1 win. They’ll need to beat a tougher team to make it into the rankings or they are in danger of falling out of sight. Things don’t look to get much better for them this week as they face off against #1 Omaha.
