Season 33 Power Rankings #1

Season 33 is in full gear, and already it's time to check in with the first power rankings of the regular season!  At the top, we have Cheyenne holding on to their preseason #1 ranking.  Their solid play is not at all surprising.  The next two spots are occupied by division foes, with Florida at #2 and the team with the best record so far, Buffalo at #3, who was ranked 20th in the preseason polls (doh!). Houston and Salem round out the top 5 at #4 and 5 respectively.  Now, for the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the preseason rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #10 Atlanta (+18), #3 Buffalo (+17), #17 Portland (+15), #16 Charlotte (+11), #6 Pawtucket (+10), #15 Richmond (+10)

Biggest Falls: #30 Cincinnati (-25), #26 Los Angeles (-14), #19 Kansas City (-10), #20 Colorado (-9), #24 Little Rock (-9)

There was a lot of volatility, and being this early on, a lot could still change.  Good luck to all, and here are the complete rankings!
