‘22-’23 November Season-Long Power Rankings
With the NFL playoff picture becoming more clear and the NBA season underway, we are finally at the point in the season where the season-long contenders are starting to become more clear, but like last year showed, a lot can change throughout the year.
At this time last year in the season-long power rankings (, the eventual money makers (top 4) in the league were ranked:
Sporty Strauss (1st place finisher) - 8th
Win’s Up Doc (2nd place tied) - 6th
Wait Til Next Year (2nd place tied) - 1st
Las Cabras (4th place finisher) - 9th
To no one’s surprise, Jimmy (Name Redacted), had Kyle in a tier of his own at the top of the season-long power rankings.
This league still comes down to what happens in the playoffs. Once you make the playoffs, anything can happen. We learned that last year, when Sporty Strauss surprisingly won the NFL after sneaking into the playoffs as the 6 seed and used the cushion in points to go all in to win the league. Winning NFL puts you at a huge advantage in this league.
Anything can happen in the playoffs, but positioning still matter. Teams that that get a playoff bye secure at least 9 points, teams that make the playoffs secure at least 7 points, and teams that get a consolation bye secure at least 3 points.
With how this year looks to be shaping up, every point matters.
Current Projected Standings (points at current standings):
Cooper Troopers – (NFL – 1st) – (NBA 6th) 22 pts
The Pullies – (NFL 2nd) – (NBA 4th) 21 pts
$traight Cash Homie (NFL – 4th) – (NBA 3rd) 19 pts

Las Cabras (NFL – 5th) (NBA – 11th) 10 pts

(Tier 1) You could probably rank these 6 teams any way you want, but these seem to be the clear favorites at this part in the season. Cooper Troopers gets the 1 spot here simply due to his outlook in NFL. He has been battling injuries, but he still looks to have the best team in NFL and is close to clinching his division and is in a good spot for a playoff bye. If Cooper can win NFL he will put himself in a good spot to go all in this year.
Minnesota Moose Knuckles, The Pullies, and $traight Cash Homie are all currently in the top 5 for both NFL and NBA. These teams are all fighting for what looks like the 2nd playoff bye (assuming Coop holds on to the other bye). These teams all look strong in NFL and NBA. None of the teams were dominant in MLB, but both The Pullies and $traight Cash were the middle of the league and The Moose Knuckles will have a lot of draft capital this year as well as adding keepers in MLB at the end of last year.
Wins Up Doc and Wait Til Next Year both are currently on the outside looking in for the NFL playoffs but have very strong teams in the other sports. Wins Up Doc may have the best NFL team currently in the consolation bracket and will be getting Deshaun Watson back for the playoffs. He also sports what looks like the heavy favorite in NBA. To win the league, you have to find a way to win one of the three leagues (or take top 2/3 in a couple). The Doctor looks to do that in NBA and has a strong MLB team as well. Wait Til Next Year could greatly increase his season long odds if he can get that last NFL playoff spot. As of now he looks like he will at least get a consolation bye to bring points into his better leagues, NBA and MLB. He made several moves to improve his NFL team and he needs all the points he can get in NFL. His NBA team is 3-0 and looks like a playoff team, but has a lot of question marks with Kyrie and Kawhi’s injury concerns.
(Tier 2) SG Choppers and Las Cabras don’t have the NBA and MLB teams to be in Tier One right now, but they both are currently projected to make the NFL Playoffs. Either of these teams could get hot in the playoffs and find themselves with 15 or 12 early season points. A win for either of these teams in NFL could put them in a spot to make some moves to compete this year, similarly to what Sporty Strauss did last year.
(Tier 3) Sporty Strauss is projected for 11 NFL/NBA points but this is over inflating where he is right now. He is not projected to be in the playoffs in either sport which puts a limit on how many points you can secure. If you don’t make the playoffs in two sports, you don’t have a much of a chance.
Ornery Otters is a team that just can’t seem to catch a break. They consistently score more points than their record indicates. They have enough talent to potentially make some runs and score season long points but it will be tough to break into the top 4.
Matty Ice Owls it seems like is starting to look forward to next year with shopping some of his old talent (which he has a lot of). He currently has a team that could win games, but it may make the most sense to try to lose this year and gain assets for the future.
DTC Porkchop Express is in a similar situation. He has a lot of young talent in NFL and NBA and just is not yet ready to compete for the league. He will look to offload some older talent as well (Chris Paul is on the block btw).
