Week 12 Power Rankings

The gap is closing. As we're now at the mid-year mark, there is quite a bit of movement near the top of the rankings. Early season powerhouse, Team Jacoby, has run into some trouble when facing the American League. Meanwhile, while some thought Team Carlin's early success was a little fluskish (ok, maybe it was just me), they're proving time and time again that they belong in the discussion of best team in the league. And although their power ranking didn't change this week, watch out for Bykofsky. If they can beat a suddenly vulnerable Team Jacoby then they'll be joining that top 5 very soon.

And then there are the teams that at one point or another made convincing arguments for inclusion near the top. I'm talking about Beilis, Goldfarb, and even Younger to an extent. Any one of these teams can catch fire and disrupt the current group at the top.
