After Week 3, most teams have played 3 games, some have played 4, while one team has only played 1 game. Regardless, The top 4 remains relatively unchanged, while there was plenty of shakeup in the bottom half of the top 10:

1. NOVAS - Still the scariest team in the league and after 3 weeks, and 4 games they have yet to allow a team to score on them. Their team is well organized, they have speed, but most importantly they don`t make mistakes. This week may be a little closer than last week, but I expect the NOVAS to improve to 5-0.

2. Rhinos - The game of the week vs. DWC ended up being about as exciting as the Wizards/Cavs series as Rhinos continued to show their dominance in the "Hoook Division". The Rhinos take on 2 middle of the pack teams in their double header. I expect them to make it 5-0 after this weekend.

3. Wolves - The way the Wolves are dismantling their opponents earns them a notch up in the rankings. Again the argument is that they are in the weakest division, which I don`t dispute, but they are beating these teams in such a manner that earns them the #3 spot. The Wolves are off this week, but come back with a double header the following week against the #2 and #3 teams in their division.

4. Lazy Sundae - It pains me to drop Lazy one spot because we all know the talent on this team, but when you barely beat the last place team in the division (7-0) I have to move you down one spot. The game of the week will be Lazy vs. Outcast. Outcast is the highest scoring team in the division and they are playing against the top Defensive team of the "BC2" Division.

5. Gold Rush - earned a decisive victory over Entourage in a 12-0 shut out this weekend. Their only loss was a close match against Lazy and they earned a quality win over Outcast. They jumped 2 spots (and jumped the undefeated Magnums squad) because they have a tougher strength of schedule as of now. They come into this weekend with a double header scheduled and should expect to win both games.

6. Magnums - They improved to 3-0 and are off to their best start in team history. The main reason they don`t jump to #5 is because 2 of the 3 wins are against former C League teams that have yet to earn a victory. They do have one quality win against Mac Daddies, but will face a tough test this week against 2 IFFL veteran squads in Titans and All Makes & Models. They could very easily drop both games this weekend and fall out of the top 10. We really don`t know enough about this team until they face some stiffer competition.

7. Outcast - By man handling Pain this week, Outcast was able to jump 2 spots from #9 to #7. They are one of the highest scoring teams in the entire Open League and the most prolific offense in their division. They could easily drop out of the top ten this week if they don`t come prepared against Lazy.

7. Gold Rush - earned a decisive victory over Entourage in a 12-0 shut out this weekend. Their only loss was a close match against Lazy and they earned a quality win over Outcast. If they beat Outcast, why are they behind them

8. DWC - Even though it was their first loss of the season, DWC falls hard after getting handled by the Rhinos, proving that the Rhinos are just in another level in their division. The road doesn`t get any easier this week as DWC takes on a sound Larry`s team looking to fight their way into the A Playoffs. With a makeup game coming up against the Muddawgs, DWC will have to fight hard to earn a spot in the A playoffs.

9. All Makes and Models - Unranked last week, All Makes has earned their way into the top 10 by winning a tight match in the rivalry game against the Titans. All Makes has a chance this week to jump into 2nd place in the Division as they take on the Magnums. All Makes has the advantage of playing the Magnums in game 2 of the Magnums doubleheader.

10. Outlaws - earn their way into the top ten with a 2-1 record and 2nd place in the "Braddock Division". This team was a 40 yard field goal away (against Mutiny) from being 3-0. They have a key game in 2 weeks against the 1st place Wolves, but must make sure they don`t look past Union this week.

Out of the top 10 - Pain, Titans

I told you putting Pain in the top ten last week was premature.

This week, top 5 are solid. 6-10 should be in no particular order.

I think Outlaw should rank higher then Magnums.

In my humble opion...I do not think Braddock Park is the weakest division. It`s like a rock, paper, scissors division. All the teams besides Wolves (being the best)and Crisak (being the worst) are pretty much equal.
