just basing this on the first few weeks of the season because they are the most accurate.

Agreed. Kampers have been on a big roll. And alpine just rolled over the baby kittens and they didn't even budge. Definitely think KKAR is top 5 in USAPL

I can see your point, but I can also see this...

True, but their last two wins have been quite impressive!

Yea, but one thing your rankings never account for that they probably should is recent performance. Especially when the baby kittens got beat like they did by alpine and kkar having been dominant lately beating a good battalion and bortsville team in the process. Appreciate the rankings as always but they seem closer to the standings than a "power ranking" of sorts

They jumped 5 spots this week, that accounts for recent performance.

A team that loses early typically will struggle climbing up the power rankings. I suspect we'll see LBK drop a bit after tomorrow's matchup.

Actually I always thought I took more recent play into too much consideration, but with the idea of KKAR's recent wins; I would have had to do the same to Mentone when they beat those teams. I really feel there's kind of a log jam around our level, but I've kept Mentone lower due to my belief teams overlooked us.

I can break down why I have each team at each spot, but I just can't see KKAR as elite with some of the losses they received. In the same case, it took a long time for the Kittens to move up that high because I really didn't think they were that good. It's hard to argue with their success so far this season.

You have to remember where KKAR was last week, they've moved up a lot, but I don't see them higher than they are. I think MEM will give them a quality game, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nighthawks knock down KKAR either.

Towards the end of the season the rankings often do look like the standings, which is often why my intial rankings are very different; however, that's about the time I start offering up commentary on the playoff teams since there isn't much movement in the rankings.

Just sparking some debate since they're the only consistent rankings. I think in terms of pure power rankings of who i think is better right now (not necessarily going on merit and who earned what) my top 10 would be.

1- MM

next tier

2- Cincy
3- MEM
4- Alpine
5- KKAR
6- Bortsville

next tier

7- Louisville Baby Kittens
8- ATKM
9- Mentone
10- Battalion


I guess i'm not that concerned with early weeks as i am later ones as i know teams are still feeling out the new sim in the beginning. I think MEM is still better than bortsville despite the early game and would be big favorites in the playoffs (though possible for bortsville to upset them) for example

It's hard to say about Bortsville; this week will be huge to see where not only they stand, but where the Battaliion stands. As for Cincy, MEM, and Alpine they could all really be #2; I think any of their games would be a good game to watch.

I really don't think I could put KKAR or Bortsville in the same tier as them and I think after this week you'll see the Kittens moved down too; unless they copy the Blaze game completely

I really want to see the Kittens vs ATKM matchup too because I'm not sure about that ranking either.

I am personally looking forward to the MM-LBK matchup. A lot of us on MM were part of some classic battles between the Kittens and the Las Vegas Lightning a number of seasons back. Should be a good one, and hopefully not a repeat of what happened to us this morning with the Blaze

Over/Under for MM v. Kittens is at 34. I'll take the over.

Yes. But barely.

We didn't overlook Mentone fwiw.

So you shouldn't feel like you didn't earn that win.

How has no one noticed we obviously have the whole team with 15 points in Streaky. How else do you think a USAPL team could beat both the Shockers AND Masterminds?
