Week Three power rankings
By Andy Hanacek, Associate editor and XFL analyst
|
| It’s getting a bit clearer now as to which
teams are good and which teams need some help. But there’s still a logjam in the
middle. Sounds just like another football league most of us pay attention to. 1. Orlando
Rage (3-0, last week ranked 2nd) —Jeff Brohm is my early, early pick for MVP, or
maybe it’s called “Best Player at the End.”
2. Birmingham Bolts (2-1, last week tied for 3rd) — Hey, Birmingham fans! Still
want to boo Casey Weldon?
3. Las Vegas Outlaws (2-1, last week 1) — Their defense gave up four times as many
points this week as they did in the first two.
4. Los Angeles Xtreme (2-1, last week 3t) — The most exciting team in the league,
simply because every game has come down to the final play.
5. San Francisco Demons (2-1, last week 6) — Mike Pawlawski is showing much poise
on a team many picked for dead last.
6. Memphis Maniax (1-2, last week 5) — The curse of the politically incorrect
nickname has obviously warped the minds of these young men.
7. Chicago Enforcers (0-3, last week 7) — The auto show was in town, and the
Enforcers were on the road for three weeks? Who scheduled that?
8. NY/NJ Hitmen (0-3, last week 8) — It’s a good thing two of the top three
TV markets have teams that are 0-3. That’s got to help the ratings.
