Season 12 Power Rankings - End of Regular Season

Season 12's regular season has come to an end and it's time for the final edition of the power rankings going into the playoffs.   The top of the rankings are fairly bunched up indicating that there are several strong contenders for the World Series crown.  Taking the top spot by the slightest of margins is Pawtucket, who boasted the league's top offense this season, and the best record since the last rankings.  Oklahoma City comes in at a solid # 2, and are once again going to be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs.  Little Rock, defending champion Buffalo and Vancouver round out the top 5, all of whom look to be strong teams going into the playoffs as well.  Don't count anyone out though, as last season it was the #10 team in the final rankings that took the crown.  Here's the complete final rankings, good luck to the playoff teams, it should be an interesting postseason!
