*Week 10 Power Rankings

[tlk742]

Power rankings indicate that if two teams face off with all things neutral, the higher team should win, does that happen? It’s why we play the game.

For the record, the index has the Outlaws as #1.

1. Arizona Outlaws (10-0) ?0
The Arizona Outlaws are no fun to write about because there’s no controversy. Though a RNG loss in the playoffs would be hilarious, they’ve all but secured home field advantage for this Ultimus trip.

2. Orange County Otters (6-4) ?0
Something alarming, the Orange County Otters always play the Outlaws close. They’ve been bested in what has otherwise been a relatively even-sided rivalry. I don’t think Boss is the problem, as he’s the best QB in the league right now, but something has changed, and it might just be how much better the Outlaws are, or it might be a sign for issues in Orange County.

3. Baltimore Hawks (7-3) ?0
The Hawks shut out the Yeti is amazing fashion. One thing to worry about, Blessed as the top WR has hurt Trey Willie, but the team has been clicking and making Kyubee show as the monster he is. One thing to worry about, Farlane has taken a step back. That’s not a surprise in itself, but rather how drastic it has been. He has the second lowest yards per carry of any running back in the league with a starting job. What I’d say about the Hawks is this, they don’t excel at anything in particular, and they’re middle of the road, across the board. This is allows them to be the Outlaws-lite and gives them to exploit whatever weakness the other team has.

4. Philadelphia Liberty (4-5-1) ?0
Why do I have the Liberty above the Wraiths? Well, the context of the loss matters. They didn’t do anything right, but they also didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not sure if the Rove-Wright Combo is what the team needs to get going on offense, but Rove is playing smart. While he’s not going to carry the team, he’s reminiscent of Kyubee last year, not going a liability and not a boon, just a present player of the team. That’s not a bad thing, but whether Rove makes the next step this year, next year or at all to become a dangerous QB is still up the air. The line is doing him no favors though, as no team has allowed more sacks than the Liberty.

5. Yellowknife Wraiths (5-5) ?+3
Here’s the lineup in Yellowknife offensively, Garden, Cook and Nuck; Orosz at the helm. Yet somehow the team is underperforming on offense hard. The Yellowknife Wraiths need to play their own secondary, because right now they sit at third in offensive receiving touchdowns and second to last in rushing touchdowns. It’s the struggle of the Wraiths, to be strong in one spot, and weak everywhere else come game time. This year, they decided Pass Rush. Not defense as a whole, just pass rush.

6. Las Vegas Legion (1-9) ?0
Alexandre Leclair has a big issue. He’s the second WR to break 1000 yards this season. He’s also going to be the first 1000 yard wide receiver for Legion. He’s shattered Stormblessed’s 759 yard season record. He’s likely to get paid big by either the Legion (which would be smart for the team to do before the markets open up) or some other team. So what’s the issue for the 1002 yard receiver? He’s going to be the first 1000 yard receiver no one is going to know how to spell the first name of.
Berc played out his mind against the Cats, and the team showed up in what was an exceptionally exciting and close game. It’s not that he played well, he played flawlessly going for 280 yards 22/25 no interceptions and two touchdowns. Plus they’re getting linebacker cornerback Cushing soon, so things are looking up.

7. Colorado Yeti (2-8) ?0
Do you know that the Yeti have a -200 point differential. Pierno can develop to a great quarterback, but there are just too many holes for this team to overcome this season. So we’re all aware, the Yeti are averaging .67 touchdowns a game; Offense, defense, and special teams combined. No other team is averaging less than a TD a game in the air alone. It’s not that the Yeti have wins, it’s that there’s literally 0 categories outside of rushing yards that the team excel in. Wozy, Saint, Kicksit and Tweed are everything that keep this team with hope in terms of results. I don’t even think that a solid draft and a Mike Boss would be able to clear this mess up overnight. It’s a rebuild, and rebuilds take time, and it’s not going to improve immediately.
Hot Takers Note:If the Yeti beat the Legion at Vegas, then I’ll put them above, but not before, so this week matters for this.

8. San Jose SaberCats (4-5-1) ?-3
Lol, what a loss to the legion. When you throw for over 400 yards and get a total of 540 yards and still lose, well that’s just embarrassing. Hunt is a player who flips a coin at the start of a quarter, and that will determine whether he is the world’s greatest quarterback that quarter or the world’s worst. There is no middle ground. The play calling was baffling, with runs on 2nd and 25. Also why did they throw Bayley, not Canton, on LeClair?

Hot Takers Note:If the Sabercats doesn't make the playoff, then I’ll put them last in the power rankings.

It's a major issue in my eyes.

Mike Boss will never play for the mountain monkeys.

Technically I thinkt they're the valley monkeys, as their stadium is in denver

Even rivalry? We are a career 9-1 against them

Even rivalry? We are a career 9-1 against them

and yet the games are for the most part often very close.

[daBenchwarmer]

the inevitable shit on Hunt

wouldn't be a power rankings without it

[GoodLeftUndone]

I find it hard to fathom that a 1-9 team is ahead of a team that's 4-5-1 but I don't pay attention to games in this league so I'll stop there :ph34r:

Legion is GOAT
