Season 29 Final Power Rankings

The regular season is over and the playoffs are about to begin, but first, let's see where everyone ended up in the final power rankings!  There's a change at the top, reclaiming their #1 Preseason ranking is Texas, led by Cobbfather's top pitching staff.  Las Vegas and Salem jump up one spot to #2 and #3 respectively, while Cheyenne and Florida round out the top 5.  #7 Atlanta falls from the top spot with a rough 16-24 finish, but are certainly capable of bouncing back in the playoffs.  The extra rest from the bye should certainly help them.   Now for the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the last rankings.

Biggest Climbers: #14 Louisville (+8), #23 Hartford (+6), #24 Milwaukee (+6), #11 Colorado Springs (+5)

Biggest Falls: #21 Los Angeles (-10), #19 Seattle (-9), #20 Chicago (-8), #7 Atlanta (-6)

Here are the complete rankings.  Good luck to the playoff teams, it should be quite the interesting postseason with some new up and coming teams in the mix, along with some perennial favorites.
