9. Souljas,
the Souljas lost to Boom is Art and Pittsburgh in blowout losses
10. Boilers25,
two bad losses this week for boilers losing to retired and West Side
11. SM Lizards,
the Lizards cannot seem to get it going offensively this season two losses where they scored 70 or less
12. Monkeykid,
Monkeykid did well to beat the Rebellion this week, no say can say they aren’t trying
13. Righteous Rebellion,
losses to Monkeykid and Boom is Art this week, they look to upset Pittsburgh again tonight
14. Lion Rebels,
although the Rebels finally won by beating West Side, one win is not enough to move you up
15. Retired,
like the Rebels, Retired beat Boilers25 but couldn’t move up in the rankings
16. Red Bull Lakers,
2 losses for the Lakers keep them at the bottom.

As power rankings return today, I posted the 9-16 first so the top will appear first in the form, so let’s begin with the top now,
1. Jungle Fever,
two wins against easy opponents this week, and a new #1 ranking
2. Pittsburgh Pressure,
similar to Jungle Fever, two wins for the Pressure. We look to avoid another upset against the Rebellion tonight
3. Green Gremlins,
the Gremlins lost to Beachlife, but rebounded against SM
4. Beachlife,
what a week for Beachlife, beating the previous number 1 and destroying Red Bull Lakers.
5. Galloping Sloths,
the Sloths might be in sell off mode, but they continue to win and remain in the top half
6. Illiniwek,
A tough week for Illiniwek, a loss to Pittsburgh, and barely squeaked past Lion Rebels
7. West Side Tigers,
A blowout loss to the Rebels is bad, but they performed better against Boilers25
8. Boom is Art,
Two blowout wins this week against the Rebellion and Souljas

We are gonna plummet now...

Did the same this week.....life was too busy.

Power Rankings
The power rankings return this week. It seems to me that everyone in this league really underestimates themselves a lot. The rankings are meant to reflect a combination of the overall record and last week record. The metric I use is 80% overall 20% last week, the number the at end of each team is the base line score.
1. Jungle Fever, the Fever keep on winning and remain number 1. .927
2. Pittsburgh Pressure, two wins for the Pressure against Rebellion and Sloths. We look forward to a potential finals preview tonight against Green Gremlins. .927
3. Green Gremlins, wins against Boom is Art and SM Lizards make the Gremlins back on track. And with Dragojevic back in the lineup the game at Pittsburgh looks to thrilling. .927
4. Souljas, the souljas are here and hopefully to stay. They beat the Boilers25 and Lion Rebels this week and look forward to the matchup at Jungle Fever. .708
5. Beachlife, A win vs Retired but beaten by West Side Tigers this week .681
6. Boom is Art, a good week for Boom is Art going 1-1 beating the Sloths but losing to Green Gremlins .681
7. Galloping Sloths, Yakoska you might you are overrated still but listen to this you are second place in your Conference and have the 6th best overall record, you deserve to be in the top half. .581
8. West Side Tigers, a loss to Jungle Fever but a victory over Beachlife makes a good week .464
9. SM Lizards, back to back wins for SM Lizards all be it against Retired and Red Bull Lakers .564
10. Illiniwek, two losses for Illiniwek to Boilers25 and Jungle Fever .464
11. Boilers25, a victory over Illiniwek but a loss to the Souljas .391
12. Lion Rebels, a victory over Righteous Rebellion allows the rebels to jump the Rebellion .245
13. Righteous Rebellion, two losses this week, one a blowout loss to Pittsburgh, the other a close one to the Rebels .218
14. Monkeykid, a loss to Red Bull and Gremlins drop you to 14. .145
15. Retired, losses to SM and Beachlife both close games keep you at 15. .145
16. Red Bull Lakers, you finally won a game but that is not enough to move you from the cellar. .172

What a night in the league, 7 out 8 Great 8 teams won, a nominee for upset of the year occurred, and 15 of out the 16 spots in the new rankings changed already.

Only an upset because we were ranked too highly to begin with.... :)

Edit> And now, not even the upset of the week.
