Season 4 Power Rankings - End of Regular Season

Chuckles McGee - Cobbfather Post Gazette

It's time for the final edition of the Power Rankings for Season 4! And the story of the last rankings period has to be the Austin Rock Stars (#7) who end the season on a 14 game win streak. Clearly, they are the hottest team in the league going into the playoffs and have a lot of momentum.

The top 5 remains unchanged from the previous rankings. Florida takes the #1 spot for the 7th straight rankings period, with an impressive 10-2 mark to end the season. Sacramento, Memphis, Jackson and New York Pride round out the top 5 - who finished the season solid, but not spectacular.

Other notable performances to end the season include #6 New York Primetimers (10-2), #9 Syracuse (9-3), and perhaps the most surprising of all, #30 Cheyenne goes 8-4!

Now, instead of the standard teams on the rise and decline, we're going all the way back to the preseason rankings and comparing them to the final rankings to see who climbed the most in the rankings, and to see who declined the most in the rankings.

Teams who improved the most: #8 Vancouver (+13), #9 Syracuse (+13), #15 Colorado Springs (+13), #3 Memphis (+12), #16 Charleston (+8)

Teams who declined the most: #29 Texas (-22), #17 Detroit (-10), #12 Chicago (-9), #17 Fargo (-9), #18 Huntington (-8)

Season 4 Power Rankings - Regular Season #10

Chuckles McGee - Cobbfather Post Gazette

It's time for the 10th edition of the Power Rankings! And Florida holds onto the #1 spot with another solid 10-5 showing over their last 15. But whether or not they can fend off red hot #2 Sacramento, who for the 2nd straight period went 12-3, for the top spot in the final regular season rankings is in question.

However, despite going 12-3 two periods in a row, Sacto isn't even the hottest team in the league. #4 Jackson put up a 12-3 mark, and are 25-5 in their last 30 to claim the title of the league's hottest team. Division rival #3 Memphis answered the call this rankings period with an 11-4 record to hold off Jackson for the division lead. The NL South race will surely be an exciting one to watch down the stretch. The New York Pride rounds out the top 5.

Vancouver surged to the #6 spot with an impressive 11-4 mark in their last 15. And a special shout out goes to Kansas City who jumped 5 spots to #25 with a solid 9-6 record since the last rankings

The rest of the top 20 all played solid this period, with the New York Primetimers being the only team to post more than 8 losses since the last rankings.

Now the standard teams on the rise and teams on the decline section:

Season 4 Power Rankings - Regular Season #9

Chuckles McGee - Cobbfather Post Gazette

Welcome to the 9th edition of the Power Rankings! Since the last rankings, a lot of teams have been playing very well, while and equal number of teams have been just plain bad. 9 teams posted double digit wins over the last 15 games, while the same number posted double digit defeats.

The hottest team in the league since the last rankings goes to the Jackson Rockets, with a phenomenal 13-2 record in their last 15. Three teams went 12-3: Sacramento, New York Primetimers, and Vancouver.

A special honorable mention goes to Atlanta, who went a respectable 8-7 in their last 15 to move up 4 spots in the rankings. Obviously, new ownership is taking the team in the right direction.

At the top of the rankings, Florida held on to #1, holding strong with a 10-5 record. Red hot Sacramento jumps to #2. It's tough at the top for the New York Pride, as even a 10-5 record this rankings period wasn't enough to hold on to #2 - they fall to #3, followed by the blazing NY Primetimers, and Memphis rounds out the top 5.

A division lead change also occurred this period with Syracuse overtaking Rochester for the NL North lead.

Now the standard teams on the rise and teams on the decline section:

Teams on the rise: Sacramento, New York (NL), Jackson, Vancouver, Syracuse, Dover, Colorado Springs, Atlanta
