DD destroyed another good team to hold onto the top spot for another week. It's possible there won't be a serious challenger until LOL in week 10, but DD has to run out of bonus tokens eventually. The undefeated and unusually silent Gunfighters will give it a try next.
In the rest of the rankings, LOL and a Train Wreck held off a herd of Buffalos to strengthen their hold on the #2 spot. ABD at #3 had a bye week but still picked up their second win of the season, no doubt disappointing several AAA teams. RRK remained at #4 but gained on ABD with a decisive victory over the defending APL champions. Kingdom Bowl hangover does it again. DeSWK climbs a spot to #5 with a hard-fought victory over the previous #5 team, SISW.
