Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced the Power Rankings for the week ending Sunday, January 24th, and the Mobile Bay Tornados narrowly edged out the Jacksonville Giants and Miami Midnite for the top spot. “As we move into the season, the number of games played and the difficulty of opponent play as important a part as the won/loss record,” stated ABA co-founder Joe Newman. “And while the Mobile Bay Tornados remain undefeated, Jacksonville and Miami are playing a little tougher schedule.”

“It is also important to point out that a minimum of 9 games was needed to qualify for the Power Rankings this week,” added Newman. “There were seven teams that fell one game short that definitely would have been highly ranked and probaby will be next week, including the Georgia Kingz, Bowling Green Bandits, Bronx Holy Flamesw, Atlanta Wilcats, Atlanta Aliens and Coast to Coast All Stars.
