Season 32 Final Power Rankings

The regular season is over, and as we head into the playoffs, let's check in with the final power rankings of the season.  And it's Texas who finishes atop the rankings with another dominant regular season.  They were #1 in 4 of the 5 editions of the rankings.  The other team to hold #1 this season, Salem, finishes at #2, with a very impressive run themselves.  AL West runner up Cheyenne checks in at #3, while Florida climbs to #4, with Pawtucket climbing 3 spots to #5.  Now for the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the last rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #14 Salt Lake City (+12), #13 Los Angeles (+10), #19 Detroit (+8), #9 Cleveland (+4), #18 Milwaukee (+4)

Biggest Falls: #26 Charleston (-9), #25 Houston (-7), #12 Monterrey (-5), #24 Richmond (-5)

It should be a very interesting postseason, as the AL looks to be a blood bath with several powerhouses, while 2 teams, Florida and Montgomery, appear to stand out above the rest in the NL.  Good luck to the playoff teams, here are the complete rankings!
