Arena Football - Week 5 Power Rankings

Here we go, all. 5 weeks of Arena Football Action complete, and it's time to get our first power rankings of the year together.



1. Chicago Rush (4-0)

The Chicago Rush are hot, which is not good news for Barnstormer fans.

2. Arizona Rattlers (3-1)

The addition of Maurice Purify turned out to be a great move for the Rattlers, as the combo of Davila and Purify has resulted in 13 TDs in 5 games, and a 3-1 record.

3. San Jose Sabercats (3-1)

The Sabercats trounced a loaded San Antonio team last week, and are also responsible for the Rattlers' only loss.

4. Cleveland Gladiators (3-1)

The Gladiators won the American East last year, and even though the Soul are super hyped every year, the Gladiators get this spot for being responsible for the Soul's only loss.

5. Philadelphia Soul (3-1)

The Soul have creampuffed their way to a 3-1 record, against the 2-2 Voodoo and the 1-3 Power. However, they did manage to hang 92 points on the Force last week, a difficult feat to ignore.

6. Georgia Force (2-2)

The Force are in a 3 way tie for the division lead, and Larry Shipp is a force not to be ignored.

7. Utah Blaze (2-2)

The Blaze may have dropped one to New Orleans, but the 10 sack performance against the Barnstormers can't be ignored, as well as the huge win against the 3-1 SaberCats.

8. San Antonio Talons (2-2)

The Talons have had an on again off again year, but Aaron Garcia isn't a player to ignore. The loss to Spokane is a red flag.

9. Iowa Barnstormers (2-2)

The Barnstormers are another team that needs to pick up a W against a rough opponent, and this week against Arizona is the time to do it, especially at home.

10. New Orleans VooDoo (2-2)

The VooDoo have proved they can win at home, now is the time to be picking up momentum.

11. Tampa Bay Storm (2-2)

Tampa Bay broke the Graveyard curse for the VooDoo, but have big wins against tougher division rivals.

12. Milwaukee Mustangs (2-1)

Gino Guidugli and the Mustangs' only loss comes to the Rattlers, but they have yet to prove themselves in a game against a decent opponent.

13. Spokane Shock (1-3)

The Shock's only win was a big one, against the stacked San Antonio Talons.

14. Jacksonville Sharks (1-3)

Dropping Chris Leak may have been necessary, but it looks like it's gonna take a bit of time to recover from it.

15. Pittsburgh Power (1-3)

The Power have no answer at QB, and their only win was a sketchy one in week 1 during player strikes.

16. Orlando Predators (0-4)

The hapless Preds have had everything from player strikes to stacked schedules, (Chicago, Cleveland, San Antonio) and look to find a little revenge against Pittsburgh this week.

17. Kansas City Command (0-4)

The Command have been equally plagued with a rough schedule, and had the misfortune of playing Jacksonville during their only game with Leak at QB.
