Welcome back to the TSL QB Power Rankings!

 

Every team in the League besides What A Dump has now played at least half of their schedule.  We know who's good.  We know who sucks.  We're ready to expand to a Top Twenty this week.

 

Let's see it!

 

 

Let's start with the big one: is Bobby McConnell REALLY just the sixth best Quarterback in the League now??  Eyes Downtown are 1-3-1 and yes, some of that is a product of scheduling (Legends and Sticky Bandits are their only real losses so far), but these aren't exactly scrubs at receiver that Bobby's putting out there.  Nick Voss?  Drew Butler?  Ben Stack?  These guys should score more points AND win more games, right?  But maybe we're crazy.  Would you take Bobby over Joey, Andy, Mike, Ryan or Buddy to start a game with the championship on the line tomorrow?

 

Buddy Lee is really showing what he can do after moving his teams up a division nearly every session (or merging with other teams).  Freeballers went from "practically winless" to "contender status" overnight, and ISH is alone in first place and a game away from locking up the #1 seed.  This is how you rise in the Rankings everyone!  Challenge yourself to play better opponents (and beat them).

 

Frodo Swaggins was a pretty competitive D1 team, and we weren't sure what to expect when they dropped down to D2... but we definitely weren't expecting a 1-2-2 record after Week 6.  Neither of those ties are "real" we're pretty sure, but we still don't know if Frodo is just toying with the regular season, or if this is just how good they are now.  Frodo vs Can't Touch This this week will be a real measuring stick game for that team.

 

Mavericks are in last place in D1, but are they really a "bad team"?  Of course, NO one in D1 is "bad", but they lost to Legends by 6 and Sticky Bandits by 2.  This could easily be a 2-2 team right now, and one that nobody would feel comfortable facing in the playoffs.  Oh, and Bullet Club are doing just fine in D3, so Jordan has that going for him in the Power Rankings.

 

BQI vs ISH was such a big D3 matchup that we were expecting something maybe a little more... high scoring.  Regardless, Buddy wins and Bridget loses, but it didn't hurt her place in the Power Rankings this week.

 

Frank Laudico is winless and ranked #16 in our Power Rankings (up a spot from last week, after Wanderers had a bye!).  Seems weird but... wouldn't you still take him over most of the guys ranked below him?  Especially if you're watching what he's doing in Breakfast Club.

 

Now that we've expanded to a Top Twenty, you're starting to see some more D4 teams peek into the Rankings.  Coochie Monsters and Puckett are basically D3 quality anyway.

And just like last week's graph of each team's offenses, here are the DEFENSES by division.  Stop blaming your QB if your defense sucks!

 

 

That's it for this week's Power Rankings!
