IFL Power Rankings, Week 5

[sovstar]

Sorry for the delay this week.

These power rankings are the collaborative work of Cringer, Jeff, and MrBigglesworth. Each team is ranked #1-32 and given a point value on a sliding scale. The column labeled 'points' is the teams' cumulative total of those values and the column to the right of that is the highest of the three ranks. Do enjoy..

t4	5	West Virginia	3-1	85	4	33-17 aqu	The Beasts are in the Top 10 of every major offensive category. They also lead the league defensively in 3rd-down conversions, @ Nfk
6	7	Wichita	3-1	81	5	27-24 HOU	The Outlaws have beat three winless opponents in a row. No wonder they're ranked so high, Cle

10	15	Lawrence	3-1	66	9	26-20 ren	The Phantoms are a team looking to join the NFC elite. Win 4 of your next 6 and your bid will be submitted, @ SLC

12	13	Vermont	2-1	64	9	bye	The Wolfpack should provide the Mountaineers with a tough road opponent. An upset would help them keep pace in the NFC East. , @ Law
13	11	Louisiana	2-2	59	10	3-10 IWC	The Voodoo are just wondering if one bye week is enough to allow them to start Hairston the following week, bye
14	10	Dakota	3-1	56	12	3-17, PIT	The Spirit have averages less than 10 points in their last three games. That will not get the job done this week, Cba

18	23	Tulsa	2-2	45	17	10-6 mad	Being in such a tough division, the Tornadoes have got to make sure they take care of busines when they face off against the Hell Riders each time, Tex
19	20	Montreal	3-1	43	16	12-10 mur	Technically, the Firebirds are 2-1 since wins against the Mules no longer count. If they keep on winning though, there will be no other option than that of giving them respect, @ Hou

22	17	Cleveland	1-3	35	19	20-34 STL	I still think Deason should have been traded a long time ago when his stock was SOARING. , @ Wic
23	18	Portland	2-2	34	20	14-27 nfk	Hmm, Jared Mulcahy looked pretty good in mop-up duty. Maybe the Seals should re-sign him for a gazillion dollars, @ Aqu
24	29	Hartford	1-3	25	24	9-3 bos	It's about that time for a certain someone to bust out the Anti-Iowan Ratings. Of course, they will have a certain bias against teams that win sluggish games and get the crap kicked out of them in the rest, @ Anc
