There were very little change in rankings after week 1 voting. The most significant move, besides West Scranton receiving all 13 first place votes , was the Thorny Devils leaping back onto everyone's radar with the #10 spot. I must say that there are a lot of strong teams "hiding in the bushes".

2. Banzai Pipeline 'Nites 175

Thirteen teams participated this week.
() denotes first places votes
Fun Facts: 25 of the 32 teams were represented in this weeks coaches poll... 10 teams appeared in all 13 submissions (all in the top 10)... 8 of the 9 new OPL teams received recognition... the exact same 13 teams that participated last week voted again this week (some teams even voted twice, a backup vote in case their primary rep was unable to submit)
I awarded a first place vote with 15 points, 2nd with 14, and so on down the line. In the event of a tie an average of the two scores was awarded (ie. tie for 2nd results in an 8.5 for both).
Thanks to all those who voted this week!!!
