Shannyâ€™s Power Rankings: Week 7

Week 7

Ok, not much changed after last week. Ok nothing changed, as there were no victories that forced me to change last weekâ€™s ranking. I thought I would be moving Buffalo ahead of Rochester, but they lost to the Titans in New York. Other than Buffaloâ€™s upset loss in New York and dominant victory in Calgary, all the other games this weekend were fairly predicable. Only the games involving Buffalo were a surprise. Next week looks to be much different, as weâ€™ll have many match ups that could shake the current rankings including the two undefeated teams meeting as the Wings travel to Colorado.

1 (1)	Minnesota Swarm 6-0-0 Still perfect with three OT victories.
2 (2)	Colorado Mammoth 5-0-0 5 of first 6 at home.
3 (3)	Philadelphia Wings 3-0-0 First road game in Colorado next week.
4 (4)	Rochester Knighthawks 2-3-0 Can’t seem to put 60 minutes together but 15 minutes was enough against the Rock.
5 (5)	Buffalo Bandits 3-3-0 Dominant in Calgary. Fatigued in New York?
6 (6)	Calgary Roughnecks 2-3-0 Sluggish performance. Absence of Kelusky and Dietrich hurts.
7 (7)	San Jose Stealth 3-3-0 Finally win at home.
8 (8)	Toronto Rock 3-3-0 Watson’s effort overshadowed by lackluster offense.
9 (9)	Chicago Shamrox 1-3-0 Dominated by San Jose. Host New York next week.
10 (10)	New York Titans 2-4-0 Just when you thought there was no hope they come up with huge OT win against Bandits.
11 (11)	Portland Lumberjax 1-5-0 On losing end of another tough one.
12 (12)	Edmonton Rush 0-4-0 Can forget playoffs if they don’t beat Portland next week.
