with 1/3 of the season gone and everyone having played everyone in their conference once, here are your power rankings:
1. Philadelphia Phantasm - 7-0
the phantasm have started out perfect. their only close games have been at home to west side, and on the road against fbc. fischer is looking back to mvp candidate form, and philly looks poised for a title run. can't argue with undefeated.
2. Baker Street Irregulars - 6-1
the irregulars are back at it and in full force. suffering a surprise, very close overtime loss at home against mitsubishi proves the only stain on their otherwise unsullied record. thus far, they look the favorites in the blue side.
3. West Side Tigers - 5-2
west side has taken a few lumps lately, bettered by philly (really no shame in that one), and absolutely battered by space von jam. looked like they were setting up against a pretty tough cup opponent in that one, and essentially gave the game away. could be a slick move to rake in a few more $50k pay days. they're still contenders.
4. BucsBlue Lob City - 5-2
only ousted early in their rebuilding by homeboyz and baker street, bucsblue have yet to concede a defeat since week 1. perhaps they should be 3rd, the margin is extremely close. tompkins is yet again in mvp contention. they're also contenders, despite them having some believe otherwise.
5. Diamantes - 5-2
even after having sold a key bench component, they're one of the deepest team in the league. this squad has plenty starting and bench talent, which should poise them for a cup run, as well as boding well for consistent league play. after their purchases, it'd be a mistake to dismiss the newcomers as pretenders.
6. Frosty BC - 4-3
crying bias is perfectly fair in this scenario. i had to do it. not gonna lie, i'm still salty about that last second 3 to beat me. what a crock! in any case, their inefficient lineups have been their bane, they could possibly be as good as 6-1 otherwise. a 1 point loss to svj, an 8 point loss to philly, and a regular whooping by 21 at home against west side are their losses. pretenders. they have no chance at a 'ship.
7. Space von Jam - 5-2
a curious loss to ballstars early in the season, but they've really picked up their play since then. their only other loss coming against philly at home where they got smoked by 34 points. their victories have come in unconvincing fashion, leading me to believe they might not have a legitimate shot at promotion. very talented squad, though.
8. Mitsubishi Eclipse - 4-3
they've had some impressive wins and some unfortunate losses. they're the only team to have beaten baker street, and they did so on the road in overtime. while i highly doubt they themselves would say they have aspirations of promotion this season, i'd bet the farm on their goal being a playoff birth.
9. homeboyz - 4-3
the boyz stole one early against bucsblue while they were rebuilding. since then, they've been okay, as indicated by their record. they hung tough against baker street and diamantes, and won a close one on the road against walnut. they'll be contenders for a playoff spot.
10. Walnut Streets - 3-4
easily the most disappointing team of the season, the streets have really struggled to put together a consistent effort. a tough loss against the homeboyz has them on the outside looking in on the playoff spots. they'll need to pick up the pace in inter-conference play.
11. Crosstown United - 3-4
they hung tough against frosty and svj, they just can't seem to get over the hump this season. only 1 game back from a playoff spot, rest assured that'll be crosstown's goal this season. can they do it? well, a +50 pd is a good start. let's see what they have in store for the blue conference.
