Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 9 3-6 15

This team has had a tough schedule, and it doesn’t get any easier next week when they take on the #1 power ranked team in Palermo.
Week 8 3-5 14

Tehran doesn’t have the easiest schedule, but other than the loss to Lagos, they won the games they are supposed to. Unfortunately the fact still remains; they have not beaten one good team all year. Even with Abdelrahman putting up an amazing rookie year, it still isn’t enough to get this team to where they need to be.
Week 5 3-2 12

Not the most impressive win, but in this league, you take them however you get them. I would’ve like to beat this team a little bit more decisively - Tehran is good, but I don’t trust them again the league’s best just yet.
Week 2 1-1 7

Demolished Granada early and just kept pouring it on. Their ability to play fast offensively, while also being a pretty long and big team, will challenge a lot of opponents. Like I’ve said each week, consistency is key for this team to take the next step.
Week 1 0-1 10

Please see the Pre Season Rankings for insight regarding this team.
Preseason 0-0 6

One of the best defensive teams last season, but really struggled to score consistently. They lost Yaqob, but picked up a couple new faces. Bottom line for this group is, be consistent. Mo Amin’s squad averaged 53ppg last season and finished 7-5 including the playoffs, had they scored 53 points in each game, they would’ve been 10-1. It’s not about scoring 73 & 80 points for this team, it’s about finding a way to consistently score 50-55 while playing terrific defense.
