Likely wildly inaccurate and sure to cause the Rebel Yell to secede, but I got sick of not seeing any rankings so I took a shot at it. Not even gonna attempt the East yet at this point, as I barely even know the Western conference teams, but here goes:

1. Las Vegas Freebirds
2. Bourbon Street Bullies
3. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors
4. San Francisco Fire
5. Monmouth Evil Monkeys
6. Anchorage Penguins
7. Richmond Rebel Yell
8. Oklahoma City Thunderstorm
9. Dallas Vaqueros
10. South Bay Spartans
11. San Antonio Saints
12. Minnesota Marauders
13. Columbus Bucks
14. Kailua Daggers
15. Washington Extreme
16. Houston Hookers

Kinda odd that we're starting with the cross-conference games week 1, but oh well, should be fun. Good luck to everyone this season.

Definitely some strange names in strange places. But nice job man. An incredibly hard job to even attempt this with so many new teams. The best part about the power rankings isn't how accurate your beginning list is, but how willing you are to adjust it quickly when you realize that a current team's performance shows that team is better than than another, at that time. I really hope you get positive feedback for this and continue to do them. I look forward to an updated list after this mornings games

Good luck everyone.

Although I dont know if those 6 new teams are going to be better than all of those day 1 teams. But I can guarantee that at least 4 of us are going to make the playoffs and probably have as good of a chance as anyone to hold that 1 seed.

I think you are VERY closed minded if you dont think that some of these "promoted" teams arent every bit as good as Pro teams and better in many cases. I think you will lol when a lot of Pro teams are looking on the outside of the playoffs.

Because I don't have that type of bias in my rankings. To be honest I don't even know who the day one Pro teams are. Why should that even matter?

Actually the only issue I have is putting a team we beat in the playoffs, the warriors, ahead of Monmouth. Other than that it's all good

You seriously think Southbay who went 14-2 in USA Pro last season, misses the playoffs?

These teams coming up havent played teams like the ones who have been in USA pro for years. Believe me i thought the same thing when the Aces came up, we steam rolled everyone in USA AAA and got here, its a whole new ball game. Dallas , San Fransisco , Anchorage, and Oklahoma...three of those teams miss the playoffs. You can count on Minnesota, Southbay and San Antonio being there.

im here from south bay to tell you i kind of feel insulted being placed at 10th after going 14-2 last year lol I really hope you haven't been using scrims against us aha. Whatever, it'll make it more sweet when we're a top contender again!

seeing how i have them 4, 6, 8, and 9 thats not a huge stretch of the imagination. I really think pretty much any team in the west can beat any other team. Forced ranking them before the season was extremely hard, and like I said likely to be wildly inaccurate.
