POWER RANKINGS

Welcome back to the TSL Quarterback Power Rankings! 

Is Darryl Carr finally in the top fifteen this week??? Let’s find out!

#1 Joey Batts - Legends / Cunning Stunts

Last Week:  Beat Sticky Bandits 38-20, beat Legends 47-42 (Legends), lost to Wanderers 62-45 (Stunts)

Cunning Stunts are winless and in last place in their division.  We have never typed that sentence before.  Legends are undefeated and in first place in their division.  We have typed THAT sentence many, many times before.  We’ll probably type it again next week.  This is why you don’t overreact and move someone out of the #1 spot too early…

#2 Bobby McConnell - Eyes Downtown

Last Week:  Lost to Legends 47-42

It’s pretty amazing how Eyes Downtown lost 90% of their team in the offseason, and then built an equally good one in the span of a few weeks.  Okay, their defense is not nearly as good it seems, but Bobby hasn’t slowed down at all with these receivers.  Could we really see some brand new faces in the D1 championship game this session?

#3 Mike Thomas – Sticky Bandits

Last Week:  Lost to Legends 38-20

The Sticky Bandits came up short against Legends last week, just as they did in the D1 championship game last Fall.  If it’s any consolation for Sticky Nation, do they realize who the last team was that actually BEAT the Legends?  Yes, it was the Sticky Bandits back in the Spring 2024 Finals.  So they know they can do it, they just need about every close ball to go their way.

#4 Garrett Beesing - Frodo Swaggins

Last Week:  Beat Freeballers 36-14

Frodo Swaggins is sitting pretty at 3-1 and they need only one more win to lock up a non-losing season.  We keep saying they’re ready to take the next step into the upper echelon of D1 teams – beating Sticky Bandits and Eyes Downtown over the next couple of weeks is the way to do that, and the way for Garrett to leapfrog the two names above him on this list.

#5 Ryan Dougherty - Can't Touch This

Last Week:  Beat Mavericks 54-25

Ryan Dougherty potentially could have been even HIGHER on these Power Rankings, if Can’t Touch This had taken the plunge and jumped up to D1 this offseason.  There’s no doubt they’re ready for it, and although we can’t blame for wanting to win their division first (who wouldn’t?), they also can’t blame US for ranking four D1 quarterbacks ahead of Ryan.  Gotta compete against the best to be the best.

#6 Frank Laudico - Wanderers

Last Week:  Beat Cunning Stunts 62-45

Speaking of quarterbacks and teams that could be playing in higher divisions, how about those Wanderers?  Undefeated at the halfway mark of their season, averaging 47 points per game… do we really feel like this isn’t a D2 team?  We might… MIGHT… just bet on them to beat D2 Show Me Your TDs at least.  How would they fare against Can’t Touch This, Mavericks or the Malones?  Not too bad, we’re thinking.

#7 Jordan Lawson – Freeballers / Mavericks

Last Week:  Lost to Frodo Swaggins 36-14 (Freeballers), lost to Can’t Touch This 54-25 (Mavericks)

Frodo Swaggins is a quality loss these days.  It must be frustrating for Freeballers that they’re 0-4 at this point, but three of their next four games are winless team, Legends, winless team, D2 crossover game.  So they do have a chance to improve.  For Mavericks, expectations are certainly higher, and there are only a couple big games circled on their schedules.  Losing handily to Can’t Touch This isn’t what the defending D2 champs were hoping for going into last week.

#8 Rhace Colon – The Malones

Last Week:  Did Not Play

No game for The Malones this week, after Show Me Your TDs forfeited.  We have so many things we could have said about that game, but we’ll keep them to ourselves.

#9 Cody Stumpf – What a Dump

Last Week:  Did Not Play

No game for What a Dump this week as their backloaded schedule has them at only 0-2 so far in the season. 

#10 Alex Buchlis – Becca Gets Reccked

Last Week:  Did Not Play

No game for Becca Gets Reccked this week… and least not one that counted?

#11 Derek Pew - 716

Last Week:  Beat Buffalo Vice 38-36

716 certainly had their doubters going into this season, but they’ve quieted a lot of them with a stronger than expected 2-1 start.  Yeah, their defense could be better, but we’re not Power Ranking defenses are we?

#12 Joe Miano - Jabronies

Last Week:  Beat Scared Hitless 44-14

Joe Miano somehow fell off our radar last week.  How was the current D3 champion not ranked in the Top 15?  Well, here you are Joe.  You just smoked Scared Hitless by 30 points; you probably deserve to be Top 12 if not better.  There’s a lot of talk of D2 being “two tiers” right now, and people do not say that favorably about Jabronies.  But they just COMFORTABLY beat Scared Hitless and they’re miles ahead of Show Me Your TDs… is it possible that they’re an upper tier D2 team and we just haven’t realized it yet?  Ask us again next week after their Mavericks rematch.

 #13 Dylan Day - Scared Hitless

Last Week:  Lost to Jabronies 44-14

This just isn’t a great start to the season for Scared Hitless.  Injuries have played a big part; these guys were on the doorstep of a D1 finals game once, the talent is clearly there!  They’ll have to dig deep to make a playoff run, since the regular season doesn’t seem like it’ll be too kind to Dylan and crew.

#14 Buddy Lee – Passing While Intoxicated / Interdimensional Lightning Falcons

Last Week:  Did Not Play

No games for Buddy Lee this week, as PWI won with a sub and ILF won with a forfeit.

#15 Brandon “B” Ford – Practice Squad / Tater Tots

Last Week:  Beat D-Generation X Y and Z 28-15 (Practice Squad), lost to Bird Watching in my Birkenstocks 22-15 (Tater Tots)

Practice Squad got their first W of the season in resounding fashion, and somehow that was enough in the confusing world of the D3 standings to vault from “winless” to “ahead of six other teams in the standings”.  The Tots are also 1-2, but they’re towards the back end of the D4 standings.  Why is their offense so anemic?  It looks like they have some weapons on that roster.
