Great job. Thanks!

Our defense is what is keeping us at the top...just like a true SEC team. We run and play hard nose defense.

I like the idea but I feel the rankings are MAJORLY flawed. Nothing against the grizzlies but they aren't even undefeated at this point. I would put them at 4-5. The two best teams in this league right now are the monkeys and pewnts so they should be 1-2 respectively. The wildcats and bengals are also very dangerous teams and I think they're ranking is fine. I know this ranking is based off of statistics but you can't just look at stats to make an objective opinion. Good idea though.

It is a start. Without puting any bias into my rankings I went with pure statistical rankings.

I may add a strength of schedule component next time which should adjust the rankings a bit.

The Evil Monkeys are the best team in the league...IMHO.

Interesting to see...we have played 3 pretty simple teams though..so it could be curved on that. However our defense has been pretty solid all around no matter who we have faced. I dont believe a loss in a record really screws with Power rankings. I still feel we are a top 5 team in this league no matter.

Obviously if I had a vote I think my team would be the best but right there with us is the pewnts. They have a VERY good roster that should make for an interesting matchup that I'm looking forward to.

My Rankings

1. Monmouth Evil Monkeys
2.Pewntenheimer Pewnts
3.Hammond Bayou Bengals
4.Murfreesboro Taints
5.Superior Grizzlies
6.Florence Tigers
7.Gulf Coast Sharks
8.San Diego Bolts
9.Twin City Wildcats
10.Doomsday Sin

That would be my top 10...everything after that is far too close to call...even the Texas Bigga Bois could make a case for being a top 10 aside from their record...it seems like they have the core pieces there? Not sure if these guys are recently recruited or what?

The one thing I will give the pewnts is that they have played a tougher schedule thus far. However, Our schedule gets harder while theirs gets easier. We'll see what we're really made of in a few weeks.

It was a difficult few weeks, we had some energy issues that had to be dealt with carefully while playing some tough opponents. Squeaked by.

That game between us and the Pewnts was tough. They killed us on field position. They had 2 punts downed on our 2 yard line. We rely on our defense and field position, so that was our downfall. They also forced 4 fumbles and recovered 2.

Yeah energy was "interesting" the first few weeks but we got it down now.

Energy has been interesting since the changes for sure. We are only 5 games into the season so everything should become a lot clearer on Sunday after the next 3 games.

I actually agree the Monkey's are the deepest and the strongest team in the league, but the Grizzles have the numbers and based on that they sit at #1 right now.

I'm fine with that. It really wont matter once playoff times starts. Thats when the 8 seeds can beat the 1s.
