Utica Wreckers Atop ABA Power Rankings

[Chuck the Writer]

In a major unbelievable stunning astonishing fantastic holy shirtsleeves turn of events, The ABA Utica Wreckers have held the #1 position in the ABA Power Rankings, upending the six-week run of the Nashville Broncs. According to returning Wreckers team spokesperson Abia Aushichser, who this week gets to pick the ABA Power Rankings, "How can you argue with the Wreckers taking over the top spot in the power rankings? I can't - come on, they beat a CBA team, no other ABA team has done that. I may have been away from the Wreckers for a while, but I do know who's on top. I also noticed some other names missing from the list due to the ratings formula I used - which involved putting whatever recognizable names I could find on the list - and working from there." The rankings:

1. Utica Wreckers
2. East Kentucky Miners (due to their 172-70 beatdown of West Virginia Wild)
3. Albany Patroons (due to their victories over NYC Internationalz and Jersey Express)
4. Nashville Broncs
5. Minot Skyrockets (due to their victories over ABA Chicago Steam)
6. Southeast Texas Mustangs
7. Alexandria Avengers (played games, beat ABA opposition)
8. Maywood Buzz
9. New Hope Trailblazers (played games)
10. Kentucky Bisons
11. NYC Internationalz (for actually playing games)
12. Las Vegas Aces
13. St. Louis Stunners (welcome back)
14. Kansas City Spartans
15. Knoxville Thunderbolts
16. Jersey Express
17. Chicago Steam
18. Mississippi Blues
19. Washington-Fresno Raptor-Rebels
20. Houston Takers
21. Georgia Gwizzlies
22. West Texas Whirlwinds
23. Detroit Hoops
24. Phoenix Fury

"And after this weekend," added Ausichser, "we expect to see some new teams in the top 24 and some movement upward on others. But I don't expect to see the Wreckers fall any lower than second place next week."
