WAKA CO Mile High Power Rankings (Week 8)

The weekly power rankings are determined by a poll of 15 Denver-area sports journalists. Commentary is provided by Kip Sayless, former Catalina Wine Mixers beat writer and author of Seven Reasons Logic Can Be Defeated By Yelling.

  1. Coming From Behind (5-2) – Will attempt to forfeit their way through the playoffs as the likely No. 2 seed.
  1. Bob Loblaws Ball Lawbers (1-6) – I am a prophet. I called this team's first win, and now the only question is, can they propel that momentum into a playoff run and a championship? My bold prediction: No. No they cannot.
  1. Pitches Be Crazy (2-5) -- This shade of blue is my favorite color, that's why they keep moving up in the rankings. Stop asking.
  1. All American Riff Raff (5-2) -- Eagles QB Vince Young infamously declared this the "Dream Team" during the preseason, and for one week at least, he was right.
  1. Shenanigans (2-5) -- It's surprising that they allowed six runs to Coming From Behind, since The Reach Around usually only scores five by forcing other teams to forfeit. Other teams take note: the key to beating Coming From Behind is holding them to four runs or less. And showing up.
  1. Drunken Monkeys (2-5) – A 14-4 victory! Really, what more can you expect from a team that's known for an animal that plays with its own poop.
  1. Dice. (6-1) – Dice. halts its weekly freefall through the power rankings by staying in place this week, mainly because the team photographer does a pretty OK job.
  1. Drinkers With A Kicking Problem (2-5) – Everyone has a chance in the playoffs, right? ...right?
  1. Your Mom (4-2-1) – A wedding is more important than a regular season kickball game? Clearly, this team needs to find some heart before the playoffs.
  1. STU GOTZ (5-1-1) – When you lose to a team with eight players you were at one point beating 8-0, you don't deserve to be ranked ahead of anyone.
