Nothing changes at the top of this weeks rankings, however the bottom of the pile is starting to shape out:

Rank (LW)	Team	Record	Comments
1(1)	Milwaukee Iron	2-0	While not pretty, the Iron defeated a strong Iowa team to remain on top.
2(2)	Tulsa Talons	2-0	After a week off the Talons should be rested for a road test against Arizona.
3(3)	Chicago Rush	3-0	The Rush have looked great, but the teams they beat are starting to look weak.
4(5)	Spokane Shock	2-1	Spokane beat what is a surprisingly good Bossier-Shreveport team.
5(7)	Tampa Bay Storm	1-1	Tampa Bay is starting to gel defensively as a team to watch out for.
6(9)	Jacksonville Sharks	2-1	Jacksonville made their home opening on NFL Network look like a cakewalk.
7(4)	Dallas Vigilantes	0-2	Fundamentals are still killing what should be a very talented Vigilantes team.
8(8)	Bossier-Shreveport Battlewings	2-1	The BWs, while loosing this week, looked great against a strong Spokane team.
9(6)	Arizona Rattlers	1-1	The Rattlers need to make a statement against a very good Talons team this week.
10(15)	OKC Yard Dawgz	1-1	OKC made a statement against what is believed to be a good Cleveland team.
11(11)	Alabama Vipers	2-1	Alabama beat what could be the worst team in the AFL. Nothing surprising there.
12(10)	Cleveland Gladiators	0-3	Being the best 0-3 team is not enough. This team needs to start winning.
13(12)	Orlando Predators	0-2	Things don't look too good for the Predators at this point.
14(14)	Iowa Barnstormers	0-2	Iowa lost to a strong Iron team, but the plus side is they put up a great fight.
15(13)	Utah Blaze	0-2	Utah started to look better with the QB change. The question is will it matter.
