Talons Central Power Rankings 2/24/2010

While the league is still finishing tryouts for the 2010 season Arena Fan has started their interactive ranking poll. As it stands now 16 people have voted and the teams are ranked as such:

1. Dallas Vigilantes

2. Arizona Rattlers

3. Chicago Rush

4. Spokane Shock

5. Orlando Predators

6. Cleveland Gladiators

7. Milwaukee Iron

8. Tampa Bay Storm

9. Jacksonville Sharks

10. Alabama Vipers

11. Tulsa Talons

12. Iowa Barnstormers

13. Utah Blaze

14. OKC Yard Dawgz

15. Bossier-Shreveport Battlewings

This poll however does not have very many votes yet. I would encourage everyone to go to their site and vote. It seems Dallas is getting a huge boost from being in a conference with 3 former AF2 teams, including the Tulsa Talons.

My Pre-Tryouts Power Rankings are as follows:

1. Chicago Rush

2. Cleveland Gladiators

3. Dallas Vigilantes

4. Spokane Shock

5. Jacksonville Sharks

6. Tulsa Talons

7. Tampa Bay Storm

8. Orlando Predators

9. Iowa Barnstormers

10. Alabama Vipers

11. Arizona Rattlers

12. Bossier-Shreveport Battlewings

13. Utah Blaze

14. OKC Yard Dawgz

15. Milwaukee Iron

Chicago was probably the best team of the AFL's last season that is returning to this new AFL. Dallas, while having the best record in the 2008 AFL season, will hurt to replace quarterback Clint Dolezel. Jacksonville gains from picking up veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia; who had put up amazing numbers in the last decade as a part of the New York Dragons. Spokane and Tulsa, being the two best teams of the AF2 coming to the AFL, have to be given respect against the AFL teams.
