Power Rankings

Over the course of the month there seems to be a magnetic pull towards .500. Great teams who were cruising April through May hit a rough patch while cold teams are finally getting back on track. As a result it's become very hard to tell which teams look like they're in great shape as we head towards the playoffs. Earlier this month I divided my power rankings into 5 groups. The "elite" group remains pretty much in tact with only Sarcona added to the mix. The lines the separate the next three groups, however, have essentially evaporated. Teams Spiegel, Harris, Granese, Beilis, Peragine, Carlin, Lapine, Feldman, and Wallman are separated by a two games or less! That means with a little bit of luck, the 13th best team in the league can easily become the 5th best team in just three games. With so many teams on equal footing, seeding does not really matter once it gets past the #1 and #2 seeds. It only becomes important for choosing the fields to play on, not for who the opponent will be.
