Power Rankings Heading into Week 8
1. When We Were Young: Still undefeated, but finally had a tough game last week against GPAK. With less than 2 mins left When We Were Young were only up by a field goal. This team is two wins away from a perfect season, this week they play an unpredictable DX team.
2. GPAK: Yes they lost last week and are on a losing streak currently, but they went down to the wire with the best team in the league and deserve to be bumped up in these rankings. They play one of the hottest teams in the league this week in Buzz City, should be a closer game than the first time they played each other.
3. New Era Ballaz: Currently they are 6-1 and somehow fell in these rankings, thats because they played a BNB team that was on the bottom of these rankings and barely won. New Era didn't have much size against BNB and got dominated down low, lets hope the bigs for New Era start showing up or else they will have a tough time against the teams with big men.
4. Buzz City: They have won 3 in a row and each win has been by double digits or more. This team is playing like the team that was ranked number 3 in the power rankings to start the season, let see if they can keep it going. They play GPAK this week and this is probably the game of the week this week.
5. DX: Two weeks in a row they have been a part of nail biters squeaking out last second victories. Last week they blew a 26 point lead and were down by 1 in the final moments against Just Dua It. They did manage to win the game, but had they lost they would of fell even further on these rankings for the second half melt down.
6. MWA: First half against Buzz City was a good game as both teams went back and forth, but in the second half MWA faded and ended up losing by 10. MWA plays New Era this week, another good matchup here.
7. Just Dua It: First half last week this team struggled and didn't look like they came to play. The second half was a totally different story, they almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks ever by coming back from 26 and losing just by 2 pts. This week is huge for them against BNB, neither of these two teams want to play the number 1 team in the playoffs. Must win week for Just Dua It.
8. Bad News Beards: BNB played really well last week and took New Era to the finally shot of the game. They had better attendance and really benefitted their play. This week is a must win week for them as they play Just Dua It.
2. GPAK: Yes they lost last week and are on a losing streak currently, but they went down to the wire with the best team in the league and deserve to be bumped up in these rankings.
