*S5 Week 8 Power Rankings - DeathOnReddit - 01-16-2018

Ok, another edition of my power rankings. Every edition except maybe 1 has been made in my math class. I am in math class right now actually. Lets this kicked off


1. YKW Yellowknife Wraiths. Record: 6-1.
As I have said in my other power rankings, until these guys start losing they will stay at #1 until they lose. They haven't lost and because of that they will stay at #1. They've played well, and with the addition of Wozy they are easily the favorites for the ultimus. Expect them to end this season #1 and with only 1 loss as well as their first ever ultimus, and some dermotti happiness.

2. OCO Orange County Otters. Record: 6-1.
I can tell that the Otters aren't happy with me putting them at 2 in all of the editions of my power rankings, but I dont know how I can put them at #1 when I've said they need to beat the wraiths away (or have the wraiths lose a game and they win, which I do not see happening.) in order to move up to #1. Just keep winning, and if you win all of your remaining games you will end the season #1 in the league, and back to back ultimus titles. Stop complaining about these power rankings until then you bums.

3. PHI Philadelphia Liberty. Record: 4-3.
This was the hardest choice I've had. The Liberty did lose to the Sabercats in a rout, and they did lose to the Otters at home I believe, but I will explain why I put them above the Sabercats in the Sabercats section. Just know this, the Liberty are not impressing me at all. A team that look like they're going all in on this season/the next is stuck fighting to make the playoffs. This cant continue, or else they will have lost a lot of the future for nothing.

4. SJS San Jose Sabercats. Record: 4-3.
Really. Really. Do you like to make me look like a fool? Is this because of all the trash I talked about you before? How do you lose to the Legion? I dont care it was away, THE YETI BEAT THEM AWAY. ARE YOU BETTER THAN THE YETI? Yes. So there should have been no reason to lose to them. If you lost to the Hawks, the liberty, literally every other teams than the Yeti and Hawks, you would've been 3rd right now. But no. And you better not complain, because you're lucky you aren't lower.

5. BAL Baltimore Hawks. Record: 3-4.
Congrats to the Baltimore Hawks, they finally made it out of 6th. They did beat the Outlaws, who I will talk about below, but they beat them away. They deserve to make it, and with the Liberty only being 1 win ahead, they are still right in the hunt for playoffs. They need to continue to win, but if they stumble at any point, it could be the end for their playoff hopes. I have nothing against them, and they are really underperforming expectations. Hopefully this win propels them forward.

6. ARI Arizona Outlaws. Record: 3-4.
The outlaws, my dear beloved Outlaws. After the Wozy-Floggity trade the Outlaws GM even admitted this season was over. They have decided to build for the future, but even with that I expect them to still easily beat the Yeti and Legion. Expect them to miss the playoffs for the first time in the history though.

7. COL Colorado Yeti. Record: 1-6.
Dont expect the Yeti to end the season with any more than 2 wins. They aren't good enough right now to upset any teams, and it tells you what the league thinks of them when they were surprised they beat the Legion. You do you though Yeti. You do you.

8. LVL Las Vegas Legion. Record: 1-6.
Congrats to the legion for upsetting the Sabercats. They proved me wrong when I thought they would end the season winless. I still dont expect them to win any other games though. Good luck in the future friends.

And thats it. As you can tell I got lazy towards the end. Thoughts, comments, why Im an idiot and wrong?

Graded!

I would like to point out that the Liberty actually have a negative point differential on the season. I think they're worse than their record indicates.

I can't really disagree. I don't think we're all in, though. Our team is younger than most, after all. S8 should be a big jump forward for us as the rest start regressing.

I definitely think the team will continue to improve. I don't know that I would call the Liberty younger than most though. The Liberty are 1 of only 2 teams without a player younger than season 3 (the other being the SaberCats).
