Week One Power Rankings

Week One Power Ranking

1: Stop N Go

  The defending champs are looking to repeat another championship season. Farhan and Usman have done a great job keeping all the pieces of the puzzle that got them to the championship together. They are still the team to beat. Defending champs rated #1.

2. Slumdogs

The runner-up in last season’s championship game. They played very well last year and were in danger of missing the playoffs. But once they got in they went on a Giants like Superbowl run but came up short against Stop n Go. Joshil and Mike Chu will be looking to start off strong and carry their team into the playoffs to try and capture a championship.

3: Savages

                  

They were a solid team last year and beat the Spartans in the playoffs in a huge upset. MVP Anwar Sadat and all-star Hashim Naveed dismantled the number one team in the league last year and merged with the Savages. It will be interesting to see how all these working parts gel together. One thing is for certain, the Savages are one of the teams to beat this season.

4: Bandits

A struggling team for most of last year until they put it all together with stars in Marc Flynn, Harvey Harding and Sakib Hassan. The Bandits was another team that went on a Cinderella run and went deep into the playoffs until being knocked off by the eventual champions, Stop N Go. Adding Jawaid as their QB and a few other key parts, The Bandits are looking to make a strong statement from the get go.

                                                                                                                                              

5: Empire

These guys were considered the best team in the league till injuries and attendance issues hindered them late into the season. They kept most of the parts together but have added a huge talent in Kunal. Atif has his team ready to start and end strong. They are serious contenders for winning it all this year.

6: Warriors

A new team in the SAFL that formed with a few members from No Games No Gimmicks started by QB and Captain Aldo. Aldo had a MVP caliber season last season and is arguably one of the best QBS in the league. He put this team together with some friends and family but they are looking like a very solid team beating the Savages in off-season play. Let’s see what these guys can do.

7: Decepticons

Captained by Moe Begawala, an explosive athlete in his own right has brought a new team to the SAFL and he believes he has gathered enough talent to compete with the tremendous talent that the league has to offer.

8: Chargers

They were known as the believers last year but Razi Hussani has taken the helm. Although they had a not so stellar 2011 season they have revamped and managed to keep all-stars Najeeb and Musaib returning and some key new additions such as PJ and Nadeem they look like a force to be reckoned with.

9: Those Ravens

A last minute team that is captained by Ahmad Halimi from the SASL Outlaws. He looks to bring a lot of talent from the SASL and see if softball and football can mix. Good luck to them!

10: Desert Eagles

Adam Eilfey, brings another team into the SASN family. We don’t have too much information about them just yet because they are also a new team but Adam always brings high level talent into the league and we expect the same in the SAFL. Good Luck.
