POWER RANKINGS:
These rankings are based on each team's Cumulative Efficiency Ratings (CER - sum of all its players' efficiency ratings as calculated by PBA-Online.net) AND its wins. The formula I used was this:

Team EFF = CER + (# of wins x 70)

I gave each win a value of 70 stat points simply because the average score for each of the college teams in the 2013 Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup (based on Statsboard.com) was 72.45ppg. I just rounded that down to an even 70.

Despite the limitations of the statistical basis, I believe that these rankings still generally reflect a balance of "how good each team has been" and "how good each team is projected to be."

I’m 110% sure not everyone will agree with the following rankings, but that was never the point anyway. As long as this fosters discussion and gives fodder for tabletop discourse, then all’s good. Well, hopefully.

Let's go. Time for the disagreeing to begin.

How the Aljon Mariano and the UST Growling Tigers
stack against the rest of the UAAP?

1) FEU Tamaraws (6-wins, 0-losses, 696.5 Team EFF)
This is the world we live in now – FEU is one away from sweeping the first round. Wasn’t this the team that only about two months ago suspended its best player for his attitude? What is coach Nash feeding his wards anyway? Whatever it is, it’s working wonders.

2) UST Growling Tigers (4-wins, 2-losses, 496.8 EFF)
It’s quite impressive that UST is holding the fort at #2 despite Jeric Teng still nursing his shoulder injury. That’s thanks mainly to the Black & Gold frontline getting the job done – 48 points and 24 rebounds against the hapless Maroons.

3) NU Bulldogs (3-wins, 3-losses, 465.8 Team EFF)
Despite Ray Parks and Emmanuel Mbe pairing up for 32 points and 24 rebounds, the Bulldogs still lost to the Falcons. Not a good sign if you’re coach Eric Altamirano. Another not-so-good sign? Gelo Alolino going 2-of-9 from the field.

4) DLSU Green Archers (3-wins, 3-losses, 437.5 Team EFF)
Was there an unsportsmanlike foul, or was there no foul? It’s a great talking point for a round of beer and sisig, but if you’re coach Juno Sauler you couldn’t care less. What coach Juno cares about (I’m sure) is how his team let the Falcons climb back from a double-digit deficit late in the fourth a few days after they got the rug pulled from under them by the next team on this list.

5) UE Red Warriors (3-wins, 3-losses, 434.1 EFF)
Great comeback against DLSU puts UE right in the middle. Roi Sumang and Charles Mammie will be the constants for this team, but coach Boysie needs a consistent #3 guy. Against the Archers, that guy was Chris Javier, who dropped 16 points. Still waiting on Ralf Olivares to explode big time, though.

6) Adamson Soaring Falcons (3-wins, 3-losses, 426.3 Team EFF)
Loved the way Adamson upended NU, but hated the way things ended against DLSU. I still think the Falcons are a mighty dangerous squad, but one has to wonder how losing like that can affect the mindset of any team.

Jericho Cruz and the Falcons absorbed a controversial loss this week.

7) Ateneo Blue Eagles (2-win, 4-losses, 373.7 EFF)
Ateneo fans have to continue tempering expectations despite the Eagles getting win #2. It, after all, was just UP. Still, that Newsome alley-oop? Man, can anybody say dunk of the year this early?

8) UP Fighting Maroons (0-wins, 6-losses, 244.3 Team EFF)
Man. I feel so bad for these guys. It’s a good thing there’s no such thing as relegation in the UAAP.
