I might go bi-weekly with these, I am a bit buried at work.
And the index removed has the Otters ranked number one.
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.
1. Orange County Otters(3-1) ?+2
The Otters saw Akselsen as the biggest threat to the throne held by Boss, and decided to make it an air ball game. Combining for 830 yards in the air, the two went at it. Boss actually threw for less but that’s not relevant. The fact that makes the Otters so dangerous is their game planning. They’re ready for any matchup and come with the playbook that can take on anyone. Preparation is the name of the game for Orange County and it’s why they’re such a great team.
2. Yellowknife Wraiths (3-1) ?-1
A loss at Orange County isn’t a sign of bad times coming, In fact this loss has a lot of good on it. For starts, the Wraiths went for more yards and matched Orange County blow for blow until the end of the half. Couple that with the road-game disadvantage in the sim and you got a situation where Yelllowknife could easily end with a 13-1 season. It’s a scary prospect to think about.
3. Philadelphia Liberty (3-1) ?-1
The Liberty at 3 is not a knock on the Liberty. But I don’t see them as better than Yellowknife. I wanted to put the Liberty at 2, I honestly have been moving them back and forth, I had a write-up for each, but 2 seems like a stretch. Here’s why. Yes, the Liberty have one of the better points scored against (98) but then I had to take a step back. Two of the four games are the Yeti and Legion, and the other two games have been a win against the Hawks and the loss hosting the Wraiths. I do think the Liberty are a great team, but they have to do more when the schedule toughens up down the road.
4. San Jose SaberCats (3-1) ?0
Ugly win is still a win. That’s usually how Baltimore matchups go. But Smallwood stood up and proved goal line was just as good for him as 1st and 10 getting three touchdowns on the ground. But there’s a lot of worry with the ‘Cats who have the lowest points scored in the ASFC, even the Legion are out doing them, so the Cats need to rally and figure out what will make this electric offense so dangerous.
5. Arizona Outlaws (3-1) ?0
A trouncing of the legion does not a solid statement for the best team in the ASFC make. The Outlaws have the same issue that I have with the Liberty, the schedule right now is going to get harder not easier. That said there’s a lot to love about the Arizona team, such as the fact that Bronko leads the league in passer rating.
6. Baltimore Hawks (1-3) ?0
There are no 2-2 teams right now, this is weird. But onto the Hawks, who have had one of the weirdest trajectories of a team. Avon is not playing bad as a quarterback, but he’s playing really inaccurate. He sits at a 56% completion rating right now, the worst in the league. There’s a lot to say about the Hawks, because they have all the pieces to be competitive but they’re just not producing the expected results.
7. Las Vegas Legion(0-4) ?0
Yikes. On the plus side they have actually scored a lot of points, they just need a defense now.
8. Colorado Yeti (0-4) ?0
Double Yikes. Look forward to the marquee matchup with the Legion this Friday.
