Season 21 Power Rankings # 2

We're about half way through Season 21, which means another edition of the power rankings.  Dover remains in the top spot, although they weren't quite as dominant as they were in the first quarter of the season.  Little Rock comes in at #2, followed by Buffalo, and the team with the best record since the last rankings comes in at #4 in St. Louis.  Durham rounds out the top 5.   Here's the complete rankings!
