*S5 Week 7 Power Rankings - DeathOnReddit - 01-13-2018
Ok, back at it again with the power rankings! There will be a lot of changes this time.
1.
Yellow Knife Wraiths. Record: 5-1 Again, this may be a hot take to some of you, but I just can't bring myself to move them down. They went 2-0, and I don't seem how I can lower them for winning two games. Until they start losing, I will probably still be keeping them here in the #1 spot. And looking at their schedule, there are only 2-3 games they might lose, otherwise they may end the season 13-1 and a really good chance of winning their first ever ultimus.
2.
Orange County Otters. Record: 5-1.Some otters, such as Timeconsumer, may not agree with this and point to them going 2-0 over the friday sim, as well as being able to beat the Wraiths. But as I said in my last rankings, they were home and barely beat the Wraiths, and with both teams going 2-0 I don't see a reason to bump the otters up for it. If they're able to keep winning, and go on to beat the Wraiths away, then I could move them up, but until then I expect to see them in 2 for a while.
3.
San Jose Sabercats Record: 4-2The first change of my power rankings, the Sabercats go from 4th, to 3rd. They went 1-1 over the friday sim, losing at home to the Wraiths, and dominating the Liberty at home. The spots of 3, 4, and 5 are still very close, and can change over a week, but the Sabercats seem to have put a little space between them and whoever is 4. Whether or not they make playoffs will depend on how they do on the road, with 3 of their next 4 coming on the road. They could cement themselves at 3, possibly make it up to 2, or fall all the way to 5.
4.
Philadelphia Liberty Record: 4-2Another change in a exciting game at home against the Outlaws, which should've been game of the week. They barely won by the skin of the teeth, but it was still a win. They went on to get destroyed away at the Sabercats, but they're looking a little shaky, but I still expect them to make playoffs. Before getting obliterated at the Wraiths.
5.
Arizona Outlaws Record: 3-3It hurts me to see my beloved team drop all the way down to 5, but going 0-2 over the Friday sim means they deserve to drop so low. They had a chance to beat the Liberty and give themselves a good chance of making the playoffs, but they lost and then at home lost another close match with the Otters. A game they were up 21-7 and went on to choke away. They need the Sabercats to lose a few of their road games but the Outlaws are lucky to be home for their next 3 of 4, with the only away game being at the Yeti.
6.
Baltimore Hawks Record: 2-4I still dont know why the Hawks are doing so bad. Their only wins are against the 2 worst teams in the league, the Yeti and the Legion, and while their games are "somewhat" close, they are losing a lot of games. A team i thought would be able to challenge the Liberty for the 2nd spot in the playoffs, is turning out to be a team that most of the others teams in the league can look at for a free win.
7.
Colorado Yeti Record: 1-5I'll tell you another thing I did not expect. The Yeti going into Las Vegas, and beating the Legion. Probably everyone but the Yeti thought they were the worst team in the league, and might even have gone winless, but now they're showing that at the very least they are better than the Legion. And I have to give them props for that, even if they will probably end the season with only 2 wins.
8
Las Vegas Legion Record: 0-6I shake my head at you, LV. I shake my head at you. This was your chance, you could have finally gotten your first win of the season, and it would have been a huge momentum boost, and you may have even been able to upset a few other teams later on in the season. Instead you blew it. A game you should have won at home, turned out to show you, and not the yeti, were the worst team in the league. There is now a very good chance that YOU turn out to go winless, and that is surprising.
And there is my Week 7 Power Rankings. Thought? Anything you agree with, disagree with?

Free win? I will fight you!
In all honesty though, our record isn't as bad as it looks. We lost to the Wraiths by 2 in Yellowknife, and the Liberty by 6 in Philadelphia, in overtime. So two of our loses were by less than one score, and were both away games. Plus, we're actually +5 in point differential. The Liberty are currently 4-2 with a +7 point differential and made the playoffs last year at -85. Things could easily be very different for the Hawks.

Good article. Nice to finally see the Wraiths getting some love this season.
Shout-out to the Sabercats after that big win over the Liberty yesterday. They gave us a tough game as well.

......I've been telling everyone the Yeti were the better team since before the season started.
