Power Rankings: Week 6

POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 6

A big shakeup in the power rankings for this week is only fitting as we enter RIVALRY WEEKEND!!! The top four teams in the ranking will be playing each other this weekend, a true showdown of titans that could have significant ramifications for next week’s edition…

1) Dream Shake – We have a new leader in the power rankings this week after Will’s squad moved to 4-1 and passed EO for the lead in total points (641-640). Will got monster, 31-point weeks from Hakeem Nicks and Malcolm Floyd on the way to 156 points and a beatdown on Beef Brisket (more on that later). ****MATCHUP OF THE WEEK 1*** with EO the Truth this week.
2) G-MEN – That’s right, Craig and Scott are absolutely en fuego, having won four straight thanks to eight players in double figures last week. This ranking assumes that Aaron Rodgers won’t miss too much time. If he does, then they immediately drop a few spots because their backup is Eli. ****MATCHUP OF THE WEEK 2***** with Danny this week.
3) Vladimir Ducasse – Ray Rice and Matt Forte combined for over 60 points as Danny fought off a challenge from Jukes this week. The Vlads drop in the rankings though because over questions about Dwayne “Big Bust” Bowe and the Houston duo of Schaub and Arian Foster. Also, I have never heard of David Gettis, so that didn’t help.
4) #4 Great Teammate – A second straight win for The Truth makes EO one game from .500 heading into his showdown against Will L. This will be a battle of the top two point totals, and EO will depend on his usual trio of Rivers, Austin and gates to lead the way.
5) Know-Shon? – Will Grovs has been calling for some respect for a few weeks, and he finally gets his due, moving to 5th after a strong performance against the Worilds Greatest. Chris Johnson led the way with 25 points, and his Will’s boy, Kyle Orton, keeps killing.
6) Worilds Greatest – The undermanned Worilds Greatest fell short against rival Know-Shon last week, but they are ready to bounce back. Mendenhall and Wallace look to take off with Big Ben back in the mix, and Michael Crabtree is finally catching passes.
7) Softer Knocks – The Softer Knocks had a terrible week, with THREE non-bye-week players getting ZERO points. He was starting Shaun Hill because Cutler was on a bye, so we’ll give Joe the benefit of the doubt.
8) R.I. Bulldogs – The Bulldogs fought hard against the G-MEN, but even with 28 points from Brandon Lloyd, they fell short. They sit at 3-2, but still have lots to prove against a feisty Tomlin’s Shape-ups this week.
9) Beef Brisket – Brisket had a decent week, but couldn’t hang with the run-n-gun dream shakes. All the pieces are in place, the stage is set, for *****MATCHUP OF THE WEEK, RIVALRY WEEK BATTLE 3***** between Timmy and 0-5 Jukes. Should be a good one.
10) Tomlin’s Shape-Ups – Watch out, the Shape-Ups are moving up the rankings, sitting at 2-3 and eyeing a playoff run. This gritty bunch is taking care of business behind LaDainian Tomlinson and Randy Moss, showing us all that maybe it is best to draft the guys who are most likely to make the Hall of Fame, regardless of age!
11) Kiss the Baby – It really breaks my heart to have to add insult to the Packers/Kiss the Baby’s injury. First Ryan Grant goes down, then Jermichael. Now Demps has to deal with the Worilds Greatest in RIVALRY WEEK MATCHUP #4!!!! You’re going down, El Campeon !
12) Football Jukes – Jukes has this squad right where he wants it. 0-5 heading into Rivalry battle with Timmy, challenging another team to play their bench against him, you can’t question the Jukes’ moxie. It should be a great match, possibly the real game of the week.
