It's going to be an abbreviated power rankings this week. With three double headers this Sunday, chances are there is going to be plenty of movement on the list next week.
It was a short reign at the top for Carlin, but that hardly means anything as far as how I view their team. Once again, the top 4 teams have a pretty big stranglehold on the rest of the league. Mamone has shown at times that they can challenge the elite, but for now it’s a four team carousel at the top.
1. Jaocby (2)
2. Applebaum (3)
3. Carlin (1)
4. Randell (5)
5. Mamone (4)
6. Pollock (8)
7. Lapine (6)
8. Goldfarb (7)
Choosing 6-8 for the list was difficult with so many teams hovering around .500. Keep in mind the power rankings won't be strictly based on team records because if it was then there would be no point of doing what the standings already does. While Feldman, Beilis, Wallman, Younger, aren't on the list, they're easily right on the border. Ultimately, Goldfarb made it because of how they've played against some of the other top teams in the league.

Applebaum beat Jacoby... just saying...
ReplyDeleteThis is true, but we could apply that argument for other teams as well. Carlin beat Applebaum, Randell beat Jacoby, etc. Head to head matchups sometime factors into the rankings, but I also have to consider recent trends. The top teams are so close that any of the teams can make convincing arguments for being #1. Since Applebaum was already #1 this year, and Jacoby is riding a 7 game winning streak, I think they deserve the top spot. It's also symbolic that this is the third week in a row a different team has been #1 because like I mentioned, that's how good the top teams have been this year.
