The Poor Man's Power Rankings

[jasonf]

Since Taylor hasn't put any up in a while, I figured I'd go ahead and completely make up some rankings going into this week's double (and triple) headers.

DC Star Power Rankings
1. Below Us - Division's only undefeated team faces a long, hot triple-header Sunday
2. 12 Step - only loss was a one-run slugfest to #1 Below Us
3. Sensations - swept through last double header to claim sole possession of Car Bomb Conference lead
4. Army of Stanks - Recent tie didn't help their cause, but still strong enough to round out the top four.
5. Shock & Awe - both losses were one-run games, but final game vs. Team Keg will likely determine 2nd place in conference and overall seeding.
6. Team Keg - The other 2-loss Car Bomb team controls its seeding fate with showdown vs. Shock & Awe
7. Wackos - Playoff future completely up in the air, with almost half its season to play on Sunday
8. D-Balls - up-and-down team didn't do itself any favors getting swept during last double-header, but can still move up far in the rankings.
9. Faith + 1 - Another team with a poor performance in the last double header; will have to regain early season success this Sunday to get a high seed
10. 1829 - veteran team has had some tough losses, but can still salvage a .500 season
11. Bag Em & Tag Em - will have a tough road (Sensations, Stanks) to go through to acheive a winning season
12. RTFM - rebounded well the last two games after a very disappointing start.
13. Playing the Field - will be fighting among a group of teams to avoid the last playoff seed
14. Your Mom - ditto.
15. Flame On - ditto again. Hopefully not also fighting forfeits, too.
16. Take it Outside - has the softest schedule of the weekend, so don't stencil them in at #16 yet...

Games of the Week (these will determine the majority of the top 6 seeds)
#2 12 Step vs. #3 Sensations
#2 12 Step vs. #4 Army of Stanks
#5 Shock & Awe vs. #6 Team Keg


Now, we have something to trash talk about...

[Scottyg]

I'd like to say that we played Below Us close....but we had one bad inning which I'd love to blame on the ball, but was probably not the case.

Thank you to B&T and 12 Step for their tie/win over Skanks, should propel the Wackos into 3rd place in the Conference.

Although stated in another thread...you're welcome Wackos...lol.

Now the question is...does Sensations tying us keep us at #2, or bump us down to #3?? Tough call!!

[moosetudo]

Playoff time is BE & TE time to shine!!!

and your welcome wackos...

On the main page, all you can see is "The Poor Man's Power R" and I was reeeeaaallly hoping it was going to say "The Poor Man's Power Rangers." Because THAT'S a post i'd be interested in reading.

Please don't seed us last -- it will be the straw that breaks our collective spirit's back.

[moosetudo]

Voltron has BE & TE #1 in his power rankings.

no joke.

I don't know if a Poor Man's Power Ranger's outfit would be ghetto fabulous in an awesome or a scary way...

I think you and Flame on are tied for last. Given that they had multiple forfeits, you might have escaped the basement.

Speaking of ties, can someone post the tiebreaker rules again for playoff seeding?

[Teerizz]

I think this is how we agreed...

1. Record
2. Head-to-head - Two teams have the same record and played each other)
3. Run Differential - Two teams have the same record, not played each other, then its runs scored - runs allowed
4. Forfeits - All of the above are the same, but if a team has more forfeits, they are the bottom seed.

[Teerizz]

An Lemur....don't worry about how you do in Season #1 in DC Star. I believe the Season #1 means nothing. For S&A and Flame On!, they had terrible Season 1's. But they improved and by Season #3, they were the top seeds!!

You guys will be fine...no worries!

[walshmobile]

and some of us get into the non-manbunt finals in their first season.

I think Flame On has that locked up.

Troy, there is normally another tie-breaker, which would be 2.5 in your list:
in-conference record

Does anyone have scores for Faith+1 vs DBalls... or even know who won the RTFM vs. Outsiders game? Did Outsiders beat Playing the Field?

[Scottyg]

RTFM and Outsiders tied, Outsiders beat Playing the Field like 5-1 or something.

Dont know the score, but it looked like Faith was taking apart DBalls in the outfield for that game.

[Dagger]

Faith plus one beat d-balls 10-2

TIO beat PTF 5-0.
