- The average league score was around 142, but that of course was greatly skewed by Shirley TBD's crazy good week one. If you remove Nate's score, the league averaged 136.18 points.
- Nate outscored the entire league, handily, with the next closest score being about 43 points behind him. So we know how Nate's feeling....
- If we take out Nate's score the average winning score was 147.22 in week one. I expect that may be a tad lower going forward as TDs were up drastically over last season, league wide.
- Right now ESPN projects an average winning score of 133.05 for week two.
- On the other side of things, Jon's pot roasters not only posted the lowest week one score, but had the only team that failed to hit triple digits (to the left of the decimal point). I'm sure Provost will put on a brave face, but you know he's at home all....
Or maybe just....
Maybe a combination of the two? Anyways, moving along...
- Nate pulled off the biggest Zima Power Ranking upset in week one, other than that it was #10 over #7, #11 over #8 and #6 over #5.
- As far as ESPN Projections go, only four teams scored lower than their week one projection and one of those teams, Dirty Tube Socks only missed by .5.
- The league overall posted 177.2 more points than projected.
- Big Larry (may I call you Big Larry) was the lowest ranked team to win, giving Brando what for, in week one.
- As we look at the week two slate there is only one battle of 1-0 teams (Ryan vs Steve) and one battle of 0-1 teams (Brando vs Yours truly)
Alright, dem's the appateasers, let's get to the meat and potatoes...onward to the Dunkaroos Week Two Power Rankings...
As for our power rankings, most of the league stayed more or less where they were last week, as one game tends not to be a big enough sample to move the needle just yet.
I ran up against the buzzsaw that is Nate in week one, but he still has a lot to prove coming from the 9th spot. As for the other folks near the top of the Zima Week One Power Rankings, I outscored the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ranked teams and already have one of the highest projected totals for week two. That isn't to say my days at the top aren't numbered, it's just gonna take more than a week. If you don't get that, well..
2) team kindred (1-0)- Inching closer to the top spot with a solid week one win, but Ryan is the only active owner to never make the playoffs in this league...food for thought. Yeah, it's a small sample size, but the Ry Guy is definitely looking to prove himself.
Adorable.
3) Salem Salad Tossers (1-0)- Defending champ just doing defending champ things. Steve draws Ryan in a Dunkaroos Power Ranking two versus three, battle of undefeateds, slobberknocker, this week though, so get ready for the rankings to get shook!
4) Shirley TBD (1-0)- Another week like week one and Nate could be sitting in the catbird seat. But fun fact for Nathaniel Jemima Franchitto, the team with the highest score in week one of this league, has never won the championship and only once in the last seven season has that team finished higher than 3rd in the standings. That concludes our history lesson, now let's discuss current events. The pressure is on Nate this week to prove his team is not a one hit wonder.
I bet he is thumping his head trying to make sure he doesn't crash and burn in week two.
5) Team Deloria (1-0)- Quietly lost in the shuffle was a pretty darned good week one from Deloria's squad. Nate hogged the spotlight, like the prima donna that he is, but Deloria put himself up there as a force to be reckoned with as well. Kind of a shame it was wasted on Jon.

| Owner | Active Playoff Streak |
| Deloria | 6 |
| Dave | 4 |
| Nate | 3 |
| Will | 2 |
| Steve | 2 |
Brandon's missed playoffs last season also means I am the only active owner in the league to have never missed the playoffs. Well, Brandon can take a step in removing that from my resume if he can send me to 0-2 this week.
7) Hudson Deplorables (1-0)- As I mentioned in the open, Larry was the lowest ranked team to win in week one and, well, with the pot roasters on the schedule in week two, Larry could be off to a 2-0 start!
8) Dirty Tube Socks (1-0)- Pete secured a win and moved up in the rankings, but the injury bug is hitting the Tube Socks early as Delanie Walker just became Delanie...Hobbler, am I right? Anyway you slice it I am super excited to watch what Pete cobbles together going forward.
9) Londonderry Lumberjacks (0-1)- Well, not a great start for Matty Nice. It's been back-to-back losing seasons and an 18-21 record over the past three seasons for Matt, so things not really heading in the best of directions for our little lumberjack.
10) The Carnal Fruitarians (0-1)- I believe in Dave, I really do. The track record is there, but the projections coupled with a week one loss to Pete have the Dunkaroos Power Rankings down on him right now. The season is so young, it's still in metaphorical diapers, though, so don't count Dave out of anything! Also, what the projections don't take into account is Dave's routine at the start of every week to get himself pumped...
Oh, he's got moves! Watch out Nate!
Now, at the bottom of the rankings we have two of the last three league champs..

11) pot roasters (0-1)
12) The Scorgasms (0-1)
That wraps up the Week Two Dunkaroos Power Rankings! Keep a close eye on that Ry Guy vs. Steve-O matchup. Two versus three in the Dunkaroos Power Rankings...should be a doozy! Both teams have someone in the the Thursday night game, so who will get the early edge in this one?
