Week 7 Power Rankings

Big 8

- 1. Fair Where Foes(2-1)

Despite dropping a game to VB United, the Foes hold on to their rank due to both Bloomington and Seattle not rising to the occasion and staking a claim for the best Big 8 franchise.

- 2. Seattle Swish(2-1), Bloomington Bombers(2-1)

Seattle picked up the expected wins and lost the 3 seed vs 3 seed matchup.

After successfully defeating the upward trending Villanova team and squeezing one against the Shlubs, Bloomington drops a big one against LCM

↑- 4. Sharks 13(1-2), Brooklynn Beats(1-2)

Sharks 13: Bot win. Looked decent in their losses against VB and NYL

Brooklyn Beats: Bot win. Unexpectedly got their asses handed to them by Lob City.



Great 8

-↑ 1. VB United(3-0), Risers(3-0), Shrugging Shlubs(2-1)

VB beats FWF in what perhaps was a preview of what's to come in the future.

Risers > Bots. Who would've guessed?

Shlubs look strong in their challenging schedule. Only dropping a game to the Bombers by 4 points. They're now in the conversation for best team in the Great 8 in my book.

↑- 4. Lob City Music(3-0), New York Legends(3-0)

Lob City Music gets a huge upset over the Bombers, shooting them up the rankings.

NYL wins their three games, but almost lost to Sharks 13.

↓ 6. Villanova Wildcats(0-3)

Toughest schedule by far. Wildcats had the top three teams in the Big 8 to deal with. They dropped all three and fall to the bottom for the time being.

Week 8.5 Power Rankings

Big 8

- 1. Fair Where Foes (3-0)

FWF defeated Shrugging Shlubs, continues to look strong. Secured playoff spot.

- 2. Seattle Swish(3-0)

Impressive win over Lob City. Secured playoff spot.

↓ 3. Bloomington Bombers(2-1)

Bombers lost to a Risers team that's much weaker than the one Seattle lost to a few weeks ago. Secured playoff spot.

- 4. Sharks 13(1-2), Brooklynn Beats(1-2)

Sharks picked up a crucial win against Beats which keeps them in the playoff hunt.

Beats managed an upset over NYL by 2 points, which gives them some breathing room for the fourth playoff spot.


Great 8

- 1. VB United(3-0), Risers(3-0), Shrugging Shlubs(2-1)

VB handle Lob City. They're right on the Risers tail and are a serious threat to the #1 playoff spot.

Risers pick up important wins against Bloomington and Villanova, keeping the 1st seed for the time being.

Shlubs manage a close game against FWF, but still lose. This isn't necessarily a bad sign and doesn't hurt their Power Ranking, although it does most likely mean they will have a tough playoff run. They also, had a nice win over the Legends.

-↑ 4. New York Legends(1-2), Villanova Wildcats(2-1), Lob City Music(0-3)

NYL suffer a big loss to Brooklyn, putting them in danger of missing the playoffs.

Villanova handled the Sharks. They're one piece away from becoming a contender

LCM had an extremely tough schedule (Seattle, Minnesota, and VB). The games were somewhat within reach. They're also only one piece away from becoming a contender.

Week 10 Power Rankings

Big 8

- 1. Fair Where Foes(3-0)

Defeat Bombers.

↑ 2. Bloomington Bombers(2-1)

Defeated Seattle and had a decent performance against the Foes. Seems to be one acquisition away from becoming a powerhouse.

↓ 3. Seattle Swish(2-1)

Lost to Bloomington. Could move up to #2 in the rankings, if they perform well against the Foes in the final game of the season.

- 4. Sharks 13(2-1), Brooklynn Beats(1-2)

Sharks defeat some bots.

Brooklynn had a tough schedule.


Great 8

- 1. Risers(2-1), Shrugging Shlubs(2-1), VB United(1-2)

Risers barely managed to defeat VB, but followed it up with a 16 point loss to NYL.

Shlubs had a much easier time defeating VB, but dropped a game to Villanova by 11 points.

VB dropped games to their two biggest competitors, which is not a great sign as we wind down the season.

- 4. New York Legends(3-0)

NYL pick up a massive win against the Risers as well as LCM, and with that has basically locked down the last playoff spot.

↓ 5. Villanova Wildcats(2-1), Lob City Music(2-1)

Wildcats lost to LCM but picked up a huge one against Shlubs.

Lob City defeated Villanova.
