Power Rankings

Well, they did it. This team stayed atop the charts all season long. Never once did they truly crush an opposing team. Each win was carefully crafted, on average beating teams by 11 points. With Gay Bowl behind them, will this team full of Valkyries and Senators seek revenge and claim the Championship? Forest looked sharp against Neon Yellow this weekend, but Yeah Glow came out to fight, and Forest scored just 13 points against the six seed. QB/Safety Lynch is undefeated in regular season games, but has never played a true W+ Championship game. Will this be the year to take home the glory against another QB1 and not a backup who was begged to throw in the Championship game? Will Captain Judy finally get a championship and have a real reason to be shady to other teams? Will this team stop complaining about missed calls? We cannot wait to see what happens!

The most fun team in the league, originally projected to finish in the lower half of rankings, has really shown up this season, letting us all know that you can win AND have fun! This team is so excited for the bye weekend to get brunch and drink Wisconsin “Old Fashioneds”, which leaves this duo concerned for what is being drunk in the Midwest. This past weekend, Citrus came out with a wild amount of points against Atomic Blue, with backup QB Elle at the helm. Meg B. snatched 19 points and an INT, pushing her into the season MVP conversation. This Duo is beyond excited for championship weekend, and hope to see an Orange vs Forest fight for #1. Captain Amanda is also seeking her first Open or W+ Championship after many years of just being on the fun, but not so good teams. While it’s nice to make friends and dance Sundays away, it can only be sweeter with a trophy in hand. Cheers to them Squirting all over their competition all season!

There is nothing we can say that would be harder to hear than the reality of Sunday. An early leader for the season, we are surprised that Blue sits here, just barely hanging onto the 3rd spot heading into the playoff weekend. Having not played together for a few weeks with 2 bye weekends, Blue was up to a slow start this weekend. Getting the kinks out during last week’s games, we know this team is ready to show off. The road to the championship for Blue is through Yellow and season favorite, Orange. If nothing matters until playoffs, now is the time for Blue to come out firing.

Another week in the league, another week of trying to write the power rankings without an actual game. Instead, we will just predict how Maroon’s first game of the playoffs will go. Christine, fresh off her most recent travel, suddenly remembers that she is a captain and shows up on the sideline to coach making history as the only captain ineligible to play in playoffs in division history. At first glance, there is a cheering section on the sidelines but on a closer look we realize that it is actually the team’s fan preparing to yell at the refs on behalf of the team. Can’t risk penalties during playoffs. Last but not least, we will see a team hungry to show the rest of the division what they can do. This record does not reflect how much talent is on this team and after a season of fine tuning, don’t be surprised if they make a final comeback for a chance at the trophy.

Last week we wrote that if Pink was lucky, they had a chance to come out of the season with a 3-6 record if they played how they did against Yellow. Like always, we were right…kind of. We just thought the win was going to be against Maroon. Pink has an edge on teams with losing records, which I guess is still right. In style points for the week, we have to give it to Pink for an impressive double Em play downfield for the touchdown. Followed closely by Alley’s spike and CB’s revenge immediately after bouncing the ball back into her face. After beating Blue, I wonder if Pink is kicking themselves for the early morning forfeit to Maroon. It would not have changed their game into playoffs but bragging rights would’ve probably been fun.

This team has no reason to be the 6 seed. Watching them play all season, it’s a matter of attendance and organized chaos. When Yeah Glow is firing on all cylinders, they are close to unstoppable. QB Pam will throw an INT, but pick off the opposing QB on the next play. Lindsey will call a wild 4th and 10-yd drive from Yeah Glow’s 15, and turn it into a 20-yd gain, yet somehow get stopped on 4th and goal, while the run is still open. Aubrie will jump like a dolphin into the air to make a wild catch, yet pull the pants down of an opposing receiver for a holding call. Chaos controlled could make a very interesting Sunday morning against the most even keeled QB in the league.
