Season 14 Power Rankings # 3

Before we start full speed ahead down the stretch in Season 13, it's time to check in with another edition of the power rankings!  There was a change at the top, as preseason #1 Oklahoma City reclaimed the top spot with a stellar 30-13 record since the last rankings.   The only team that managed to match that feat was offensive juggernaut Madison, who comes in #2, followed by an equally powerful Detroit team at #3.  Previous #1 Buffalo fell the way of their predecessor Memphis in taking a bit of a step back after claiming the top spot, falling to #6.  They are still very capable of bouncing back.  Good luck to everyone down the stretch, here are the complete rankings!
