Season 21 Power Rankings #1

The regular season is well on its way in Season 21, so it's time to check in with the first edition of the Power Rankings!  There's a change at the top, as New Britain reclaimed the #1 ranking they held all of last season after being bumped from the spot in the Preseason Rankings.  They are off to a blazing start.  At #2, they claimed they were in full rebuild mode, but it looks like that may have changed as Honolulu is up 18 spots to #2.  Preseason #1 Richmond comes in at #3, followed by Oklahoma and Detroit to round out the top 5.

Now let's look at the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the Preseason rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #2 Honolulu (+18), #17 Boston (+15), #11 Helena (+10), #8 Jacksonville (+6), #22 Burlington (+6), #24 Oakland (+6)

Biggest Falls: #12 Buffalo (-9), #31 St. Louis (-9), #9 Chicago (-7), #19 Huntington (-7), #23 Seattle (-7)

Here are the complete rankings!
