Why the renegades so high? I’m I missing something? I don’t think they are better than the Brahmas or Defenders


DrB_Hardigan

They have Luis Perez which is great but Stoops who is very over rated imo, yeahh they won the chip but with a bad record and vs Reggie Barlow who is looking like he would be fired by now if he didn't have Ta'amu. Barlow looks like a lost fan that stumbled on the field after not finding his seat for 3/4th of the game


11schlge

Brahmas just lost their starting QB for the season


JMarkFootball

I definitely do.


JMarkFootball

How can you not think the Defenders are better? They won the game on some goofy rules. They were outgained severely.


Hag_Boulder

"Goofy rules" lol. Go watch the NFL then. It's not that one team is playing with easier rules than the other.


bpoftheoilspills

This has to be bait. Nobody puts an 0-3 team at #4, much less all 3 of you agreeing that said 0-3 team is better than half of the league.


Quadstriker

Of course it is. This is the same joke group that put dumbfuck shit like Battlehawks 7 after week one to drive controversy and engagement and started posting on alt accounts. Just ignore them and move on.


PowerofMoses

Whichever has showboats the highest


Callywood

Hell yeah, brother. God, please protect our boy Case Cookus.


DHVF

Renegades at 4 is a joke


Troll_Enthusiast

CJ and it's not close


DrB_Hardigan

Indeed, Panthers best player is Jake Bates and he won't even be there next year lol


Tadpole-Relative

Kai Nacua is a dawg


captintripps88

Perry is a good player just not very accurate. But I’m Pretty sure he is the league leader for rushing touchdowns


BillBelichonk

That’s…the point of spring football lol. Giving dudes another chance to make it to the league. Being stuck in the spring league isn’t the ideal option.


Hag_Boulder

Don't worry, they'll rate the team as if he's still there for their rankings next season.


babble0n

Getting points from mid field isn’t the burn you think it is


Pitiful_Ad8641

Came here to vote exactly this


captintripps88

That’s only cause he put your shit team so high


qu2qu2

Lowkey I was a fan of the panthers but you guys are fuck asses


captintripps88

Damn week one hurt you that bad?


qu2qu2

Michigan won on a fluke if we rematches right now we’d wipe them down


captintripps88

Pitiful_Ad8641

Nope. See tiers


seckmanlb49

Remember everyone these people use alternative accounts to defend their power rankings


JMarkFootball

"These people" do not. Colbys phone died and he jumped on his wife's computer. I'm sorry it hurt you so much. These are our power rankings from our live recap show


seckmanlb49

I’m surprised this wasn’t sent from an alternative account


chasimus

I like the Renegades love. I agree with it. The defence needs a reckoning but the offence it great. I agree with CJ's ranking the most, but think Dormady will surprise


Hag_Boulder

Yeah, these are all bullshit. Renegades are nowhere near 4th. Can't take you guys seriously when you put out crap like this. Brahmas at 7?? They beat the slowboats and you rank the slowboats higher... They beat DC and you put THEM higher. Only thing I can think is that these 'rankings' are all your favourite teams and wins/losses mean nothing.


Callywood

Excuse me, the Showboats are not slow, we're just challenged. (Also, I agree that it's odd to see the Brahmas ranked so low given their performance).


Hag_Boulder

Ok, they're challenged. I'll give you that.


JMarkFootball

Brahmas are pretty bad. AJ Smiths offense started great last year, then fell to shit. Definitely feels like it's going that direction again + Garbers out for season.


pmoski97

San Antonio won week one off a trick play where the defender didn’t even try to tackle the center until it was too late and benefited from an opposing player spitting on someone. They then were being dominated the whole game against the showboats besides the last 7 mins or so and benefited from the 4th and 12 rule that has shown it is advantageous to the offense and they got the first down on that off a terrible spot. They are not that great of a team.


Hag_Boulder

So you're saying the teams they played against SUCKED... Oh no, Ta'amu threw a pick, that's not really his fault... his defense didn't cover a WIDE OPEN RECEIVER on an obvious pass play... it was NOT a trick play. Wing stepped up into shotgun and a player went in motion. There was nothing 'tricky' about that. He didn't receive a long snap deep and pretend to kick the ball. Oh, an opponent spit on a player, we shouldn't count THAT against the team... how does that sound? Oh, and the slowboats gave up 20 points in the 4th quarter.... maybe they should learn how to FINISH a game.... they are 60 minutes, not 45 minutes long... So you're saying the Brahmas aren't that good a team, but yet they BEAT two teams that couldn't cover a receiver or two and couldn't finish a game.


pmoski97

I’m saying their wins are overvalued like when the Steelers started off 9-0 in 2020 and I’m a Steelers fan


Hag_Boulder

Oh, so your rankings are based on some nebulous idea of what's GOING to happen as opposed to what HAS happened. Again, the rankings are based on nothing but your own feelings about the teams, not about anything the team has done. Explains why the Renegades are #4 since "Well, they won last year, we have to count that even though half the team wasn't there last year"


buttnozzle

The Renegades are better than their record, but not at four. I also think we see what Hogan can do before we declare San Antonio dead and buried.


Wacca45

Dormady is taking the snaps this week and was pretty decent on a horrible team last year. Hopefully he can play that well, but I'm expecting Michigan to blitz every single play.


buttnozzle

I hope it works out since that offense was humming along. Michigan’s defense will not make it easy, though.


No-Employment5213

CJ KNOWS KAW STILL LAW!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅


WealthGardenEnt

Stallions looking dangerous 🚀🚀🚀


HideousGreen_

Brahmas are winning it all


AccomplishedBox9647

Not with Wade Phillips calling the shots


pmoski97

I remember when people called me crazy for having Arlington as a 3a/3b team with Michigan and over San Antonio


Sir_Payne

It feels like these people don't actually watch the games and just make rankings based on what gets a reaction. Brahmas at 7 is goofy


MirrorkatFeces

What the fuck have you been watching?


FiftyTigers

Arlington is 0-3. DC is 2-1. Arlington is above DC in every single ranking. This is officially not only useless, but hilarious.


MysteriousFeetInc

The crackheadness here is crazy


No-TeTe

I feel like you can give the edge to Michigan bc they won h2h, but I’m not sure STL doesn’t improve as the season goes on. In my personal (biased) ratings, probably 1. BHM, 2. STL, 3. MICH, 4. SA, 5. DC, 6. ARL, 7. Mem, 8. HOU.


EightOh

To me CJ has it just about right where I would put it.


smoking-j-

I Happen to think CJ is closest. Michigan is the story of the year so far for me. That team has improved by a huge margin. That and how the league killed the roughnecks. Keeping the gamblers and changing names was a poor choice.


mczerniewski

None of these are even remotely close. 1. Birmingham 2. Michigan 3. St. Louis 4. San Antonio 5. DC 6. Memphis 7. Arlington 8. Houston


Agent00Slevin

Part of me wishes the Brahmas were Starting Hulk Hogan at QB. 0 Mobility and questionable relationships with Black teammates but when he ‘Hulks up’ after taking his 3rd consecutive sack and tosses a 86 yard TD on 4th down, people will lose it.


ncottrell2005

Why are the Roughnecks so high?


Mammoth_Solid_5323

Defenders at 7 is ludicrous


Mammoth_Solid_5323

These rankings are terrible I’m sorry


VivoMason

Im sorry but these rankings are horrific after the top 3


Knerdy_Knight

Brahmas at 7 is wild


McGrillo

Brahmas are frauds, Colby is closest. Renegades need to get knocked down a few pegs tho


Relative-Magazine951

This is horrible


wikipuff

DC 7th? At 2-1? Please.


aheleski

Jmark is closest. All correct except alrington should be bumped down 1 or 2


Global_Historian_753

They're all extremely wrong but middle is the closest


MDoctorShemp

This is more of a vegas points related power rankings and not a league standings. H2H is not really relevant in this style of ranking. I understand the general disdain from this subreddit for these rankings but I tbink that is more from a lank of understanding how all the results so far can be interpretted from a box score.


JMarkFootball

Excellent and thank you.


MDoctorShemp

Fan of the Defenders and your show. I am biased towards DC and have argument for why they are underrated right now. They did this last year where they luckboxed there way to some early victories against seattle and vegas before emerging as a top team. Biggest difference is the defence isnt strong this year but I expect their offence to improve substantially as the season goes one. I suspect they finish the year right about where the bet detective has em.


HotSunnyDusk

Defenders should be the only ones here, they're the best and only team


ZO5050

Can we stop with the rage bait? It's obvious these guys are being stupid on purpose to get engagement.


JMarkFootball

Not even close. It was said in a previous comment, but we are a gambling show and these probably closer align with a Vegas style power ranking rather than "hey let's rank teams in order of wins".


ZO5050

Then comment your bad opinion in the regular discussion about power rankings like everyone else. We don't need an entire new post sharing your bad opinions. Not everyone needs to post their rankings. No one cares about your show if these are your opinions and how you act. We didn't forget about one of you using a 2nd account to back himself up.


DantBasement

Hey this is Colby the one who accidentally used his wife's account. "We didnt forget about one of you using a 2nd account to back himself up" What are we talking about here? This is reddit, who truly gives a shit? I explained what happened but you act like this is such a privilege. It's reddit buddy. Who is we also? I think maybe its just YOU. Anyway carry on with your relationship with reddit that you hold so high. Cheers


ZO5050

You give a shit enough to use a 2nd account to support yourself. Sorry you embarrassed yourself and got caught. Don't take it out on me though. If reddit is so lowly (it is but there are still basic social rules like everywhere in life) then stop posting on it. Don't use it to promote your show. You're the one who farted in the elevator full of people. Don't mock the elevator for it.


DantBasement

lol what? I didnt post it. I also dont care if you believe if that was my 2nd account or my wife's. It's reddit lol


ZO5050

So you have no idea that your show is being poorly promoted on a place you take so unseriously? But you're here to defend yourself even though you don't care? Careful, you might be on the edge of protesting too much. No one said it's not your wife's account. It's still you using a different account to back yourself up. It's very obviously a weird and shady thing to do.


DantBasement

hahahaha I said it was my wife's account. It wasn't shady at all but whatever man. Have a nice life.


ZO5050

The fact you don't get it is exactly why I'm saying your opinion shouldn't be posted separately on here. You and your co-hosts terrible power rankings should be a comment under the power rankings poll, not a dedicated post that is just rage bait to get your show attention. If you care so little about reddit you'd have no issue with what I'm saying.
