SML Top 10 Power Rankings
1. Ravens(12-3)
Jchristmann9- They are led by the best rushing attack in the league. They have the fastest offense I have ever seen led by Lamar Jackson. They should be the favorite to bring home the Lombardi Trophy
Konk- Meats is on fire right now with these Ravens just as much as real life. He is coming off a dominant win over Hass. Lets hope he doesnt choke when it's playoff time
2. Seahawks(12-1-1)
Meats- The Seahawks have been as hot as anyone, but they just tied a 5-8 Cardinals team. That game could've derailed their hunt for a first round bye in a top heavy NFC. 12-1-1 is nothing to scoff at, and with a win over the Colts combined with the Eagles being inconsistent, the Hawks may be NFC favorites
Jchristmann9- They have the 2nd best rushing attack in the league behind the Ravens. They are a really balanced team with no one player standing above the rest. They looked poised to be the favorite in the NFC
Konk- Future is the op in the NFC. It's looking like no one can stop him, he had a questionable tie to the cards and a loss to the eagles Ov
3. Colts (13-2)
Meats- Overrated. That is all
Jchristmann9 - Prime is looking like a man possessed this year looking to regain his crown at the top of SML. They are led by Andrew Luck who is looking like a MVP candidate this year.
Konk- Primtime000 is always considering himself the underdog which is complete bs, I hope you lose in the first round
4. Eagles(11-3)
Meats - The Eagles have been inconsistent at best this season. Still sitting at 10-3, they've beaten pretty much every top team they've played including the Seahawks and Bears, but losses to the Chiefs, Panthers, and Broncos all should have been wins. You could make an argument that this team should be 13-0.
Jchristmann9 - are looking like another team that should be favored to make a deep run. Former super bowl champ looking to show that he can win again. looks like he needs to finish strong to avoid being a wildcard which could be the difference of making a deep run or an early exit.
Konk- Gov is your last seasons superbowl champ and is wanting to make a playoff run this year which i have doubt he wont
5. Redskins(11-3)
Meats - The Skins are benefitting from an easy schedule, but they're doing what they're supposed to, beating their opponents handily. A blowout loss to the Eagles is the lone blemish. They swapped 8 point wins with an underachieving Cowboys team, but those are the only two losses on their record so far. They might not be the favorites, but they have a good shot at going on a run.
Jchristmann9 - This team has been winning games fairly easy all season. An easy schedule could work to his advantage but in order to win the division he will need to bear the eagles this week which could lead to a first round bye
Konk - Gamepad is a very solid player he keeps his mouth shut win or lose. He is balling out with that trash redskins team
6. Chiefs(11-4)
Meats - Wow. Their biggest game thus far and they get blown out almost singlehandedly by a rookie RB. Make no bones about it, a good offense will not overcome a swiss cheese defense in the playoffs. They have scored 20+ in every game, but they've given up 30+ points 4 times. This is a good team, but they NEED to fix their defense if they're serious about contending
Jchristmann9 - Have won a lot of games vs teams in this top 10. Offense can score at will and will be hard to stop however on the defensive side will also give up alot of points. Will need to slow down other teams if he wants to make a deep run
Konk - Hass has dropped down to earth after being humbled against the ravens, hass will figure things out come playoff time
7. Pats(10-4)
Meats - A newcomer to the SML, the Primer GOAT, has been off to a great start. All 3 of their losses have been to contending teams in the Jaguars, Colts, and Jets. But riding the easiest schedule in the SML and a dismal 1-3 record over teams with a winning record has the SML wondering if the Primer success will translate.
Jchristmann9 - New SML guy but he is the defending Primer champ and is in the superbowl agian this season. He might need another year to build his team but dont be shocked if he pulls an upset in the playoffs.
Konk - Oh bus is a tricky one he hasnt beat anyone worth a crap but can only play whos on his schedule. Lets see what he does playoff time
8.Bears(12-2)
Meats - A perrenial super bowl contender the Bears have been making short work of a crazy easy schedule. They're in the worst division, and have only played 2 teams we have ranked in our top 10. The got blown out by the Eagles, and lost by 2 scores to the Ravens. If you're betting, dont bet on the Bears.
Jchristmann9 - Might play in the worst division in SML so how much of his success is due to that. A great user that people continue to throw right at him. He didnt fair well with playing the top people this season and could see an early round exit in the playoffs
Konk - I wanted to put him higher but I couldnt after losing to Gov in a blowout. Oshii has clinched a playoff birth
9. Steelers(11-4)
Meats - Another relatively new SML guy, they limped to the finish last season. This season, different story as they've amassed a 10-3 record. But of those 10 wins, only one opponent currently has a winning record. After leading 21-7 in the 4th in their first game against the Ravens, they got outscored 58-26 in 5 quarters against their division rival and were swept. Their other loss was to the Chiefs.
Konk - Jchristmann has brought these Steelers to a respected record this season.
10. Bucs(11-3)
Meats - That 10-3 record is deceiving. They've played 3 teams with a winning record (2 of which were the Panthers) and were thoroughly embarassed by both. They did split with the Panthers, but they also took a loss to the 5-9 Falcons. Not much to say here, I dont expect this team to get a win in the playoffs.
