My Power Rankings after week 4 -It's starting to get interesting at the top.
1) W&J- Had their way with Theil. Huge game this week, they are 1 of 2 teams who still control their own destiny.
2) Grove City- Made a huge statement this week that they are one of the top dogs in this league. The 2nd team in the PAC that still controls its own destiny,
3) CMU - Losing by 7 at a strong GCC is not the end of the world. They need W&J to beat GCC and then they need to beat W&J. At that point I do not know how tiebreakers work.
4) Case- A good team who I think is noticeably not as strong as the big 3, but capable to beat them too.
5) Westminster- Back in the win column. I think they base the success of this season on if they can beat CWRU in 2 weeks.
6) Allegheny- Not sure if they are in Case and Westminster level or if they are in Genva and Waynesburg level. They beat both Geneva and Waynesburg but they have the tough part of their schedule ahead of them. They need to beat either Case or Westminster to me to put them in that tier.
Geneva- Got beat bad by Case. They at least have a win so they are ahead of Waynesburg.
8) Waynesburg- I know they are still winless and 2 of the teams I rank lower have wins. Their schedule finally softens with the bottom 3 teams being Waynesburg's next 4 games. I think they win all 3 of those games. We will see.
9) SVC- Off this past week.
10) Thiel- While they were blown out, they showed moxy. Too bad their schedule worked out that they got their first win of the season only to go against a top dog in the conference.
11) Bethany- So heart and fight and was even up at one point against an ok Allegheny team.
New this week the tier system- basically where I see the separation between the strengths of the teams. I actually think I may move to this instead of an actual power rank, since I do not get to see all the games. I watch a couple a week and if I'm lucky, there might be highlights of another game or 2.
Tier 1- W&J, GCC, CMU
Tier 2- CWRU- Westminster
Tier 3- Allegheny, Geneva, and Waynesburg
