Yesterday, after days of nervousness & anticipation, we released our first power rankings of season 2. These rankings are incredibly important as they are perfectly accurate and never change throughout the season. This sets the tone for the rest of the season, establishes expectations & is arguably more anticipated/coveted than the Lombardi Trophy. Now that you know I'm completely full of shit when I say that, let's get into it.

Before we go over these new ...

Our inaugural season of the Madden 23 cycle has concluded in the best way possible; with an incredible Super Bowl between two great teams that saw us crown a 1st time champ! How did the Bowl play out you might ask (if you were one of the few who missed it)? Have no fear and please stop panicing, because we got you covered:

SUPER BOWL LVII: I'm confident we'll have plenty of incredible Super Bowl matchups this cycle, but right off the ba...

Boy do we have some catching up to do! A lot has happened since our last power rankings blog post came out in week 10: we released our newest power rankings, pre-season futures bets selections made by the coaches of GZ were revealed (that we all seem to have failed at miserably), the playoff bracket was released and we've even had four games already take place. We'll probably just do an end of the season recap blog in the near future to split this up a bit, so the main focus of tod...

We are officially over the halfway point in the season! As the games become even more important, and the playoff races start to take shape, we have our first updated power rankings. No, we are not breaking down all 16 teams this time around, so you all can relax. We will be highlighting the biggest movers within the top 16, who's on the outside looking in, and a surprising one or two that aren't featured. So without further delay, let's get into it:

And so the second Ground Zero Madden League Night of Streams kicked off, with three primed matchups looking for success as we enter the midway point of the season. After giving away 14 Star devs on the first night of streams, the GZ admin team decided to tighten the requirements, by raising the minimum number of correct guesses required for a free Star dev from 6/9 to 7/9. Furthermore, if you were a player on the stream games, you would only require 4/6 not including your game, as this pre...

While 4 weeks isn't a massive sample size, it provides us with enough information to churn out our first power rankings of Madden 23. The top 16 went out on Twitter (@GZMLCFM) yesterday; if you aren't following it already, what are you doing? Since the rankings have no details in regards to why teams are placed where they are, we thought it would be a nice topic for the next blog. This post should help clarify the thought process that went into the rankings. Disclaimer...
