Week 10 AAA Power Rankings

Last updated Nov 5, 2005 Week 10

So this is how they rank going into the Wildcard Weekend.


1. (1) Vancouver College Fighting Irish (3-0) Exhibition (3-1)
- Consensus #1, nobody can argue with that. Only loss to #1 ranked Ferndale from Wash State.

2. (2) WJ Mouat Hawks (3-0) Exhibition (4-0)
- Only undefeated team in AAA. Could have been #1 if schedule was stronger. Still, I think the Hawks are happy where they are seeded.

3. (3) Centennial Centaurs (2-0) Exhibition (2-3)
- Toughest schedule in AAA, losses were to Bellingham WA, #1 VC, and AA #1 Windsor. Beat Fox handily, #3 ranking is fair.

4. (4) STM Knights (3-0) Exhibition (2-1)
- Better record overall than Cent, but strength of schedule is suspect. Of the 5 wins, only Notre Dame was significant, also lost to #1 VC.

5. (6) Notre Dame Jugglers (2-1) Exhibition (3-1)
- Got stronger as the season went on. Should get a favorable first round matchup, Quarters could be tough.

6. (5) New West Hyacks (2-1) Exhibition (2-2)
- Improved a lot over the season. Also should get a favorable first round matchup, again, the Quarters could be tough though.

7. (11) West Vancouver Highlanders (1-2) Exhibition (3-1)
- Should be a top 8 team, but loss to North Delta is suspect.

8. (9) Terry Fox Ravens (1-1) Exhibition (2-1)
- Difficult to rank the Ravens. Beat Carson and South Delta in pre-season.

9. (12) Holy Cross Crusaders (3-0) Exhibition (0-3)
- 3 big regular season wins have moved them up into top 10. A first round win is a strong possibility.

10. (10) South Kamloops Titans (3-0) Exhibition (1-2)
- Convincing win over Salmon Arm could be deceiving. Still not sure any other way to rank them.

11. (11) Salmon Arm Golds (1-1) Exhibition (3-1)
- Won't crack top 10 due to loss to South Kam. Will be dangerous team to face for the first round.

12. (8) Timberline Wolves (1-2) Exhibition (3-1)
- Same record as West Van, and should've been 3-0 but didn't get the lucky breaks.

13. (15) Carson Graham Eagles (1-2) Exhibition (1-3)
- Tie breaker rules should mean that Carson is in. But will face a top 4 team in the first round.

14. (13) South Delta Sun Devils (1-2) Exhibition (1-3)
- With North Delta losing, the Sun Devils have the playoffs in view. Problem is a top 4 team is who they face.

15. (16) Handsworth Royals (1-2) Exhibition (3-0)
- Good enough to make the top 16 with the win over Timberline. Not sure if the "selection committee" will rank 1 thru 16 or by conference. If by conference, I believe they are out due to tie-breaking rules.

16. (8) North Delta Huskies (0-3) Exhibition (3-0)
- Losses to Holy Cross and South Delta sealed their fate, was decent before the strike, but really tailed off the last couple of weeks.

17. (21) Kelowna Owls (1-1) Exhibition (1-3)
- Rankings won't get them into the playoffs, but if by Conference, they get in.

18. (17) Mt. Boucherie Bears (1-2) Exhibition (2-1)
- Lost heartbreaker to KSS. What could've been for the Bears slipped away that night. See you next year.

19. (18) Rick Hansen Hurricanes (0-3) Exhibition (1-3)
- With the strong number of Juniors they had this year, they should be a lot stronger next year.

20. (19) Pinetree T-Wolves (0-2) Exhibition (1-2)
- Focus is on the JVs who have a shot at going deep.

21. (20) Rutland Voodoo (0-3) Exhibition (1-3)
- Did muster a win at least, looking forward to next year.

22. (22) Burnaby Central Wildcats (0-2) Exhibition (0-3)
- A forgetful season for Central, can only get better from here.

23. (22) Cowichan T-Birds (0-1) Exhibition (2-2)
- Decided to pack it in with 2 road games to go. Better luck next season.
