Season 17 Power Rankings #2

We are half way through Season 17, so it's time for a new edition of the power rankings!  Buffalo maintains the top spot, as their offense continues to be the best in all of Kenny Powers.  Jumping up to #2 is Rochester, who had the best record in the world since the last rankings at 31-10.  Oklahoma is solid as ever at #3, followed by New Britain and Tucson rounding out the top 5.   Looks like it's going to be quite the race this season for the title.  Good luck in the second half, and here are the complete rankings!
