Season 12 Power Rankings # 3

This is a historic edition of the rankings, with season 12 about three quarters of the way through, as there is finally a new team on top of the rankings!  Little Rock ended Oklahoma City's season and a half run as the #1 team with an outstanding 29-12 record since the last rankings.  Oklahoma City comes in at #2, with the main reason they lost the top spot being a good, but not great 23-17 mark since the last rankings.  But the hottest team in the world is #3 Vancouver, who went an impressive 30-10 since our last edition.  It sure is tight at the top!  An honorable mention goes to Portland, who dug themselves out of the cellar, winning more games in the last 41 than they did the whole first half of the season.  A very nice turnaround indeed.  Here are the complete rankings!
