Shanny’s Power Rankings: Week 12

March 17th, 2008 by Brian Shanahan

Week 12

Not too impressed with my picks this week as I was wrong on 3 of 5 but I will take solace that my instincts were right on with the Edmonton Rochester game. Hamley’s got the boys believing in themselves and Saturday’s victory will impact the playoff race in both divisions. For now it will also cause some movement in the Power Rankings.

1 (1)	Buffalo Bandits 7-4 Weekend off. Home to Toronto next weekend.
2 (2)	Philadelphia Wings 7-1 Back in form. Iannucci and Snider dominant.
3 (3)	Minnesota Swarm 7-3 Favorable schedule will help.
4 (5)	Colorado Mammoth 6-3 Victory over Calgary was their best game this year.
5 (4)	San Jose Stealth 5-4 Couldn’t stop Philly explosion in last 5 minutes.
6 (8)	New York Titans 5-5 They smell blood. Move out of the way Toronto and Rochester.
7 (6)	Rochester Knighthawks 4-5 Consistently inconsistent. Life and death for playoff spot now.
8 (7)	Toronto Rock 5-4 Need more offense.
9 (9)	Calgary Roughnecks 4-7 Same problem as Toronto.
10 (11)	Edmonton Rush 2-6 2-1 with Hamley. Still face Calgary 3 times.
11 (10)	Portland Lumberjax 3-7 Tough schedule ahead. Colorado next.
12 (12)	Chicago Shamrox 1-7 Start thinking about next year.
