Power Rankings: Week 2

It's been another week and another two games for the six teams that reside in Silver South. Some teams really excelled the past seven days. Some defecated on their sleeping arrangements. Others, well, they just did alright. With each team having played four games so far this season, it's time for another round of power rankings. So I say we put some oil in the old Power Rankings Machine 3000 and see what that baby can do!

Editors Note: Apparently, pouring oil into a computer, or any technological machine for that matter, is not proper practice. Our IT guy Lars just told me to the reason we've been having so many problems with the Power Rankings Machine 3000 (or PRM3000) is because it short circuits every time I pour oil on it. So, for the record, don't oil your computer. Even if you use olive oil, which I figured would, if nothing else, make the room smell nice while the machine worked, you'll still get yelled at.

1. Prestige Worldwide: Suffered a set back versus the Lame Ducks, but rebounded with a solid win over the Strangers. At 3-1 they're atop the division with the Red Army, but PW gets the edge because they lead in both the goals for (26) and goals against (17) categories.
2. Red Army: After enduring a season opening loss at the hands of Trailside, the Soviets have rallied off three straight wins. Last Sunday's win over Cryptic Stench was the best game so far in the Comrade's season. If they can win both games this week, they'll be the first team in the division to get a win versus every team. They'll also have sole possession of the one seed.
3. Lame Ducks: With back-to-back wins, the Lame Ducks are now at .500. Their win over Prestige Worldwide shows that they are for real. It's early, but expect them to challenge for one of the coveted top two spots.
4. Strangers: The Strangers have played in four very close games. They have won two and lost two. Until they get over the hump and start to consistently win the close games, there's really nothing more to say.
5. Trailside: At 1-3, they're performing admirably in their inaugural season. They have lots of high end talent, but, and teams are quickly discovering this, they also have a significant drop-off in talent after their top few players. They're competitive though, it's just a matter of how long their longing curve is to decipher if they are a contender or a stepping stone to round two.
6. Cryptic Stench: After scoring at least six goals in their first three games of the season, the Stench have only scored one goal in their last two outings. Put simply, that stinks.

As always, feel free to comment below about your level of love or hatred about these rankings. Sorry to my loyal readers who were expecting a literary reference, you'll have to wait until post, in which I promise to cite Stoker. Until then, keep on rocking.

Also, please don't oil your computers.
