Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. "Expert" analysis by paradroid. Zaphod, is that you? At the Met Gala? Plenty of movement in this week's edition. The White Sox, Cardinals, and Giants move into the top three, neatly displacing last week's top three into 4th, 5th, and 6th, in that order. The bottom four, however, have remained fairly static, with just a…
Did you know Frodo played the Artful Dodger in a made for T.V. movie? Back again with this week's power rankings! Thanks to Stemshul for devising the ranking system and compiling the results all year. Look out for the the Dodgers as they tumble down the rankings. A 2-5 week, including a doubleheader sweep by the Chicago Cubs yesterday has the Dodgers out of…
Betting on the Royals? Time for the MLB power rankings! The Kansas City Royals feast on the Tigers with a 4 game sweep, go 5-1, and leap up to 2nd place. They now have the best record in baseball (14-8), but I don't think that will stick. They haven't had the toughest schedule so far (opponent win percentage of .490, 21st in the league),…
The Artful Dodgers rise to the top. Week 3 is here, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have risen to the top. The Dodgers were most people's choice as the best team in baseball preseason, and they're doing it with both great offense (5.22 runs per game, 4th in the league) and great pitching (2.67 ERA, good for 3rd). They have the best record and,…
Welcome back to the Power Rankings! We've added week over week change in ranking to see who's moving up and who's moving down. This early in the season, there will be large leaps and precipitous tumbles, not necessarily correlating to how good a team actually is. For example, the Giants and Red Sox made the biggest leaps, up 20 and 19 spots respectively. Are…
Welcome to our baseball power rankings for 2021! We will look at Stemshul's official 64tacos ranking system each week to see how the teams (and specifically the Tigers) are doing throughout the summer. With the full 162 game schedule back after last year's COVID abbreviated 60 game season, the first few weeks won't be too defining. Among the top 5, you would expect the…
The best team in our rankings doesnt always win the Super Bowl. And while the Chiefs ended the season on top of the rankings, they got their asses handed to them by old man Brady and the amazing Bucs defense. [table id=124/ ]
The Chiefs stand alone in the #1 spot. Their sole remaining opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is sitting in a distant, distant 3rd place. The AFC has dominated the NFC all season. This, however, does not make the Super Bowl a gimmie for the Chiefs. As Tom Brady can attest, your record in the regular season doesnt mean anything when theres only one game…
I dont know how often this happens but the top 4 teams in this weeks rankings are the 4 teams remaining in the playoff. What I find most interesting is that the 2 AFC teams, the Bills and Chiefs, are way ahead of the 2 NFC teams, the Packers and Bucs. [table id=122 /]
With an amazing win over the Colts, the Bills sneak into the #1 spot in the rankings. We go into the Divisional Week of the playoffs with 8 teams remaining. The Rams are the lowest ranked at #10. The Steelers, ranked 6th, are the highest ranked team that isnt moving on. Perhaps the most notable thing this week is that there is a 30…
