Week 5 Power Rankings

Sorry for being so late... Happy New Year
1. Tornaritis (-)
They squeaked one out this week and may have lost if the book could count to five, but a win is a win. Team Gingras proved that even with Dean they can be beaten but Team Tornaritis proved that even when most teams give them their best shot, they still won't win. Don't be surprised if this Team runs the table from here on out.

2. Booth (+2)
This Team had a good win against a fully loaded Team Stark. They are pretty average team statistically but they win more than they lose. We're still not sure how we feel about this team when the playoffs come around but as of right now they are looking good.

3. Estes (+2)
This team has flown under the radar thus far this season but after updating the standings we noticed that they are tied with Team Tornaritis for the best record in the league and they are in the a top 3 for +/-. They are hot and cold which means we don't know how consistant they will be come playoffs but as Team Ordemann learned in the second half, you can not sleep on this team.

4. McNamara (+4)
This team is all over the place. Their lows are as low as any team's but their highs are through the roof. They won by 50 over a team we thought was pretty good. They put up 79 points in regulation and I would assume they let up near the end because of the score. We're not sold that this team can go all the way, but if they get hot for those playoff games than it's going to be tough for anyone including Team Tornaritis.

5. Forbes (+2)
When this Team is at full strength they are very good. Hecht played them tight but they should still scare the rest of the league. If they have s full roster for the playoffs then they will have a legitimate chance to win it all. (Assuming Dean Tornaritis gets injured or kidnapped...)

6. Ordemann (-3)
This team appeared to be on their way to their 4th win against Team Estes but they forgot that you have to play 2 halves in rec ball. Team Estes couldn't miss so it really wasn't their fault, but missing Varsity Player Ordemann was clearly hurting their offense. We think out of all the Teams who will miss players because of V- squad Team Ordemann will be able to manage the best but this development will certainly hurt their standing.

7. Meyers (-5) 
Team Meyers is so up and down. They look great some weeks and then they look horrible the next. This will lead to a decent regular season record but a less then promising playoff push. The loss of Joey Femia will be tough, but maybe Nick Boge' can hone in his three ball range and pick up the slack.

8. Dawson (-2)
The loss of Dylan Dawson to the Varsity Team is going to be tough for this Team to overcome. They already have begun to slide, losing to Team Coveno this past week. This Team has pulled out some tight victories which might mean they can steal one game come playoffs but without Dylan we see this Team dropping in the coming weeks.

9. Coveno (+1)
This Team has struggled out of the gate but we still think they have a lot of good pieces. They had a solid win over a Dawson-less Team Dawson which is to be expected, but what was not expected was Zack Gavel struggling at the offensive end of the floor. If Team Coveno can get him going and keep him going then he alone should scare the rest of the league.

10. Gingras (+1)
This Team took a heartbreaking loss from Team Tornaritis and really that is how their entire season has gone. They have been in every game but can't figure out how to finish. They will be a good spoiler pick for the playoff bracket but probably not a great pick to go all the way.

11. Stark (-2)
We thought the return of Tim Stark would give this Team the boost they needed but apparently not. We believe that Coach Stark was drafting for the future and is trying to build a dynasty but that takes time. This Team is too young to be consistant this year but has the pieces to snag a few wins.

12. Hecht (-)
This Team has been so close but has nothing to prove for it. They work hard and are very scrappy but they just don't have enough raw talent to get the win. If they continue to grind then we believe they will steal a couple of wins, but I think at this point in the season it's safe to say that this Team isn't going anyway come playoffs.
