Power Rankings week 2. Typically power Rankings will be done Sunday or Monday weekly.
For this week we have a few changes from the preseason
1. San Diego
The eagles remain on top despite a lac luster performance against the Mavs. We will on Tuesday if they improve against Pittsburgh
2. BucsBlue
BucsBlue needed a strong fourth quarter to beat Rat Brigade, but questions on team depth will show with the recent injury
3. Phantom Thieves
The Thieves destroyed Sofeugg on Saturday and look stronger than ever
4. Joao Felix
Felix took it to the bunnies on Saturday and they should be good about their team’s chances this season.
5. Columbus Conets
Another team that should feel good about their chances. Columbus beat Pittsburgh with a strong 3 quarter effort
6. Caerbannog
The bunnies fall 4 spots, due to the game against Joao Felix the bunnies looked out of it from the start. Their schedule doesn’t get easier as they play Columbus next game
7. Pittsburgh Pressure
Every though my team lost, we showed some promising signs. Ionica played well and Dunlap dropped 45. We’ll see what we can do against San Diego
8. CC Mavs
The played well against San Diego, I personally have to apologize to coach law for the low preseason ranking. In my defense Buzzzerbeater’s site did not let me load your roster, so I couldn’t see your guards improvements.

9. Sofeugg
Following a blowout defeat to Phantom, Sofeugg needs a win at against Detroit
10. Flash Mashers
The Mashers did well in their first game and absolutely destroyed the pixies
11. Detroit
Detroit won and easy game against Los Angeles at home nothing special but a win is a win
12. Indy Crusaders
Honestly the biggest upset of the night, Indy beat the Ninja Turtles with putting less into the game. A win I certainly didn’t see coming, congrats Indy
13. Quarantine Age
As impressive as it was for Indy winning, it was equally unimpressive for Quarantine Age. A team with high expectations in year 2, got stuffed by the new guy
14. Rat Brigade
They played decent against BucsBlue, their impact will be felt more later though caused by the injury to BucsBlue
15. Pixies
A puzzling move by the pixies to play only five guys earns him the 15th rank
16. Los Angeles Lightning
A blowout loss to another D4 promote makes you the new 16

Coach FeelthePressure,

We privately accept your apology but continue on in the locker room as a point of pride for this season. 8 seed is about where we would like to be this season, however like you said it is some strong teams this season. Keep up the good work, the seeding and why is a very nice touch.

It’s time for game 2 of the regular season. The show highlights of night one, Todd Jefferson dropped 56 for San Diego, Dunlap dropped 45 on his old team, and Ambraziejis dropped 40 for newly promoted Indy.

In the Great 8 tonight

Flash Mashers face a tough test against BucsBlue
Sofeugg looks to bounce back against Detroit
Rat Brigade and Los Angeles both look for their first win of the new season
And the Pixies look to put up a better show hosting Phantom

In the Big8

Caerbannog looks to win at Nationwide Arena against the Comets
Indy looks to surprise again against CC Mavs
Joao Felix looks to establish dominance of the conference against Quarantine Age
And in the game of the night San Diego looks to improve to 2-0 against Pittsburgh

Biff and Gus have plenty to talk this new season. Joao Felix made a few moves in the market, so did San Diego. On the injury front, BucsBlue will be without Guard Hikmet Ozarpa for 2 weeks. Giliam Carton is also out for the Phantom Thieves. So for everyone except those two, it’s time for BB2NIGHT!!!

For anyone unhappy with their ranking, the solution is simple, win and you will move up

Happy to :)

Love the write up, and anxious to prove that number 12 wrong.

Manager Feel the Pressure speaks after the game against San Diego
"I cannot be more embarrassed and irate with my team. I literary fired the coach at halftime. Naum, Kenneth, Luis, and Little are already on the market, Conall, and Paul may be next. Anyone interested in a player should contact me to buy, however after this atrocious performance who would."

Coach FeelthePressure sounds like me at the end of last season. "Heads will roll!"

What did I do to get the top 3 rank - in my 1st - 4 games ?! Time to up my Ad team we are going to need it.

Welcome to game 3 of the season. Game 2 gave us some close affairs, a few upsets and in my case, an upset attempt that went horribly wrong. Anyway let’s get to the action

Starting in Big 8 tonight
Columbus looks to improve to 3-0 against Quarantine Age
Indy improves to 2-1 against Pittsburgh who has embraced the tank for the first time
Caerbannog looks to avoid an 0-3 start in San Diego
And Joao Felix looks to hold serve at home against CC Mavs

In the Great 8
Sofeugg battles Rat Brigade
Flash Mashers look to have a field day against Los Angeles
Detroit looks for a win against winless pixies
And the game of the night, BucsBlue travels to the velvet room to play Phantom

Biff and Gus have plenty to talk about. The league standings are starting to take shape. In the transfer market, Pittsburgh sold 60% of their starting lineups as well as runner up 6th man of year in season 50 Conall Feerey following the loss to San Diego and has started the tank. Indy made a recent major addition for their upcoming game against Pittsburgh, this game will be ugly. Ozarpa is still injured for BucsBlue and Favila is out for Columbus against Quarantine Age. So for everyone on my team that avoided being sold, it’s time for BB2NIGHT!!!

Week 3 Power Rankings return the top 8
1. San Diego
Once again Eagles win both games and caused me to completely demolish my team, Good Job
2. Phantom Thieves
The Thieves also 3-0, now seem to control the Great 8 with BucsBlue down
3. Joao Felix
Joao Felix took control in two wins this week against CC Mavs and Quarantine Age. Even better news they play Pittsburgh next.
4. Flash Mashers
Flash Mashers jump into the top four by beating BucsBlue last Tuesday. Way to go, you are winning and moving up
5. BucsBlue
Even though they are 1-2 they did have to play Phantom and Flash without their starting point guard. Tough breaks for them. It should get easier from here
6. CC Mavs
Also 1-2 but losses to Joao Felix and San Diego keep them up here
7. Sofeugg
Wins over Rat Brigade and Detroit allow them to move up a bit
8. Columbus Comets
So good for Columbus till it came crashing down on them against Quarantine Age. They look for a bounce back next game.

9. Indy Crusaders
A tough loss to CC Mavs, and a demolition of Pittsburgh ends them up 2 spots
10. Detroit Mercy Maver
Detroit beat Pixies but lost to Sofeugg. Improving them one spot
11. Quarantine Age
The ninja turtles earned a huge upset win over Columbus to help them in the rankings. But a loss to Joao Felix prevents further climbing of the rankings
12. Caerbannog Bunnies
I know the bunnies are better than this. A horrible tough schedule for them, but for now they are 0-3 after winning the conference last season
13. Pixies
The pixies played a real lineup, but still went winless this week
14. Rat Brigade
Rat Brigade beat Los Angeles, unfortunately that give you much to hang your hat on so to speak
15. Pittsburgh Pressure
Where do I begin? Ugh I know we got crushed by San Diego at home, as the only team trying out there!!!! As a result I knew I had no chance in the league and sold most of my team. It’s a rebuild now
16. Los Angeles
Two blowout losses will still keep you at #16, sorry LA

Ambitious of you to go for the large upset so early in the season. A shame it didn't work out, but I think you've got some good young talent on your team.
