Last week's power rankings caused some controversy and you know what? We aren't going to apologize for that. After another wild week in the WAFL here's who we believe are the best five teams in the WAFL right now. Not much has changed but no one is safe.
#1 Los Angeles (last week: #1)
Los Angeles is one-dimensional. Los Angeles can't pass. Los Angeles has an injury-prone starting running back. But guess what: until Phil Proctor is in his grave and the Immortals finally drop a game, none of that even matters. A win in dramatic fashion against the defending champs was impressive but the rushing yards LA is racking up leading the league with a whopping 280 rushing yards per game is even a greater achievement.
#2 St. Louis (last week #2)
The Hornets also won in comeback dramatic fashion against a team missing a star, Edmonton running back Chris Noel. St. Louis conquering their demons in the snow in Edmonton was almost impressive enough to take LA's number one spot this week but since we voted LA to win the title this year the spot can't be taken from them easily.
#3 Osaka (last week #3)
The Shoguns just obliterated the Stallions this week once again proving that their offense may be the most dangerous in the WAFL. Osaka averages 29.40 points per game, second only to St. Louis and averages the second highest rushing yards per game, 211, only behind LA. The Shoguns are off this week but have an impending showdown with undefeated St. Louis in week seven.
#4 Louisville (last week #4)
The Wolfpack didn't win pretty this week but they showed that they have a multitude of weapons to count on when they need them. tight end Clark Booth and safety Drew Hixon made big plays for the first time all season, all throughout this game. Louisville also has a big matchup with St. Louis coming up - on February 23.
#5 Dublin (last week unranked)
Oh my the Dublin Celts. The most impressive thing about Dublin this year, even though they've beaten two teams with a combined record of 2-6 has been that they have won with so little. The Celts were missing three of their best players and still totally dominated their game this past week. Dublin is second in the league in passing and is a top five offense in the WAFL through five weeks. Once Dublin is back to full strength, if their owner steps in and supports them, the team could go really far. If he doesn't, don't ever expect the Celts back in these rankings.
Just missed the cut:
#6 Queen City
#7 Stirling
