ok this is going to be pretty ugly since it's early and everybody's got the same record, so i'm just going to do the best i can with who's beaten who so far lol.

Houston Toros (3-1) ... i dont feel we've played well enough to have earned the top spot but like i said i'm going by wins, the game against San Francisco was a pretty big statement.

San Francisco (3-1) ... a rough game against the toros have dropped these guys down a spot but with wins over both Fremont and GROWL should be the #1 and the team to beat.

Fremont Warriors (3-1) ... Fremont's had anything but an easy schedule and outside of one hiccup against SF have played very well, wins over LaCrosse and DVD, along with their interconference whooping of Minneapolis were all big.

Milwaukee Fire (3-1) ... Milwaukee's win over Philly 2 is going to be a pivotal game throughout the season and for now it puts the Fire at the 4 spot.

SOUTH GEORGIA GROWL (3-1) ... things are getting a bit muddled because the middle of the road teams right now have all beaten up on lower teams but GROWL's win over DVD and their performance against SF has teams taking notice.

Philadelphia Marauders II (3-1) ... i'm putting Philly here because i think of the remaining 3-1 teams these guys have the most potential. we'll see how much of that is realized in a tough game against San Francisco.

N'awlins Voodoo (3-1) ... a 3 game win streak will get you noticed but the real test begins tomorrow in a rough stretch of games. expect N'awlins to be a big mover in one direction or the other depending on how they do.

LaCrosse RiverRats (3-1) ... losing badly to Fremont has dropped LaCrosse a long ways. LaCrosse is in the midst of the meat of their schedule, and needs to perform well in order to climb back up the charts.

Death Valley Devils (2-2) ... a good looking team here and appear to be very well coached but might be a bit under leveled for some of the bigger games. DVD's got the ability to get up for big games and we'll see how they do against a higher leveled Houston team tomorrow.

Farkistan Demons (2-2) ... Farkistan's got some work to do to stay competitive but they've got a chance this week to move above .500 and get ahead of the curve, if they can maintain an even or winning record remains to be seen.

Philadelphia Fighters (1-3) ... Philly's struggled to open the season but they've got a couple games coming up to learn and adjust. they need to take advantage of the opportunities or it could be a long season.

Appalachian Mountaineers (1-3) ... i havent given up on App yet but i'm more than a bit concerned. similar to Philly they've got a couple games to try and right the ship, if that doesnt happen immediately it'll be recruiting for next season very early.

Chinese Bandits (1-3) ... i'm still at a loss for words guys, i hope for atleast a competitive game against the fire. get up for this one and work to build some momentum for later this season and next year. playoffs are probably out of the picture for season 7 though.

Flappin' Skunk Farmers (1-3) ... big win over Bayou guys but that's about it i think. keep on building and we'll look forward to seeing yall again when the levels catch up.

Bayou Bengals (0-4) ... go Odie!

Fort Sam Houston Rangers (0-4) ... what can i say? i'm rooting for you guys but you've gotta start putting up atleast some points to move past Bayou.

I would still put San Fran at #1 even though they lost big to the Toros. Their strength of schedule is insane right now. Toros only have 1 quality win.

i agree, i think SF is the top team right now with Fremont probably as the number 2, Houston and Milwaukee would be better in the 3 and 4 spots. the schedules havent cycled very well yet so there's a lot of overlap and no common opponents, so i just went the easy route with head to head being the deciding factor. tomorrow's games should paint a better picture with 6 of the 3-1 teams playing eachother.

something that'd be great is if one of yall wouldnt mind doing a full A2 power ranking with one of the spreadsheets that other leagues are using. if someone did that and added a little writeup, i'll do both east and west predictions each week.

I don't know Scoot, that sounds like a lot of work. Let me know if you need someone to sit on their ass drinking beer and watching football. That, I can do.
