Top 10
1 - Asau Pirates (2-0) - As expected, Asau coasted to an easy win over WoO. Finally their #1 ranking will be challenged this week as they try to avoid being noodled against Syracuse. Last time these two teams met in an OPL regular season game Asau was blown out 48-20 at home. Next Opponent: Syracuse Synergy (prediction: Asau by 17)
2 - Indianapolis Gurupies (2-0) - Indy cruised to another easy win against a young Scorpion team. I think we all probably expected a larger margin of victory but its always tough to gauge level of cares in these types of games (no disrespect to SDS). Going to keep the Gurupies here another week but other teams are narrowing the gap. In fact, they might just be keeping the seed warm with GCMM having another strong matchup this week. Next Opponent: Black Sea Storage (prediction: Indy by a lot)
3 - Gold Coast Michelin Men (2-0) - Huge win for GCMM against Kingston, despite losing the turnover battle 5-2. The game really wasnt a close as the final score may indicate. They took advantage of a great opportunity and moved up from #6. That said, no time to celebrate for GCMM this week as they face another top 10 team in Banzai. No doubt they have this game circled after Banzai spanked them in the regular season last year. Next Opponent: Banzai Pipeline 'Nites (prediction: GCMM by 10)
4 - Oregon Ducks (2-0) - Again, I expected a little more out of the Ducks against Guam. That said, with a big win from GCMM I dont think they did enough to hold onto that #3 ranking. That said, they have a big game up next and a chance to show they deserve to move back up. Next Opponent: Gold Coast Vipers (prediction: Oregon by 21
5 - Kingston Uprising (1-1) - Tough welcome back party for Kingston as they fell short on their 4th quarter comeback. Not going to drop them too far as they did manage to make a game out of it and the loss was more a reflection of how strong GCMM is. Up next is a CPU bye week to regroup before facing an old OPL rival. Next Opponent: Sin City Silent Assassins (prediction: Kingston by a lot)
6 - Banzai Pipeline 'Nites (2-0) - Strong win for Banzai over Stockholm this week. They lose a spot only because of the statement win by GCMM, but get a chance to steal it right back in their game against GCMM this week. Much has changed with GCMM since their matchup last season. This is one of those big games that Banzai tends to fall just short in and prevent a higher ranking. Next Opponent: Gold Coast Michelin Men (prediction: GCMM bye 10)
7 - Syracuse Synergy (2-0) - Another easy win for Syracuse. They will get their shot to show they have been underrated this season by taking on the #1 seed. Next Opponent: Asau Pirates (prediction: Asau by 17)
8 - Stockholm Black Death (1-1) - Tough loss for Stockholm this week in what looked like a very winnable game and a chance to move up. This is a power ranking and not a ranking based on record so I am going to keep them here for another week. It make be short lived, however, with the Voodoo up next. Next Opponent: Hong Kong Voodoo (prediction: Stockholm by 7)
9 - Hong Kong Voodoo (2-0) - Looks like no one has slept on Hong Kong so far. In fact, Tampa just might be the sleeper this season as they almost stole this game until a late 4th quarter surge by Hong Kong. No ranked below them made a strong case to move up so they stay put. Big matchup for them next week and a strong opportunity to move. Next Opponent: Stockholm Black Death (prediction: Stockholm by 7)
10 - Gold Coast Vipers (2-0) - Not much to see here. Their win over LPC was a little closer than exptected but there were no strong statements below them to force them out of the top 10. That said Budapest, Amsterdam and Tampa Bay are joining the mix with Sumatra in pressuring for this last top 10 spot. Not to mention, GCV faces #3 Ducks next. Next Opponent: Oregon Ducks (prediction: Oregon by 21)
