One change to the top five but no change at the top for the fifth week in a row here at the Chirps from Center Ice AHL Power Rankings.

No surprise the Charlotte Checkers, the first team to ten wins, remains the top team in the Rankings.

Springfield and Rochester swap spots. The Thunderbirds were the last AHL team to suffer a regulation loss (to Bridgeport Saturday)

San Jose moves up one. The Barracuda are a solid team that not a lot of people talk about.

Iowa moves into the top five this week. Jump past them if you want to see where the rest of the teams ended up this week.

1	Last Week: PRO 3 @ CHA 4, PRO 2 @ CHA 3
	First team to ten wins, Checkers are just buzzing teams down. Busy road schedule this week.

Record: 10-1-0-0

2	Last Week: HER 4 @ RCH 2, RCH 4 @ HER 1, CLE 2 @ RCH 5
	Amerks are still good and lead the North. Cleveland and Binghamton look to be the only challengers right now. Stop laughing.
+1	This Week: vs. SYR 11/9
Record: 9-3-1-0

3	Last Week: BRI 2 @ SPR 3, SPR 2 @ BRI 5
	Last team in the AHL to suffer a regulation loss with Saturday’s setback to Bridgeport. Divisional play continues this week with the Pennsylvania teams.

Record: 7-1-0-2

4	Last Week: SA 1 @ SJ 3, STK 2 @ SJ 5
	San Jose is a really good team that not a lot of people know about because they play so far out West. Two huge early road games this weekend in Tucson.
+1	This Week: @ TUC 11/9, @ TUC 11/10
Record: 9-1-0-1

5	Last Week: IA 3 @ GR 2 (SO), IA 2 @ RFD 1 (SO), RFD 4 @ IA 2, IA 3 @ RFD 0
	That slow start that the Wild had seems like a year ago, doesn’t it? Wild are up to third in a suddenly tight Central.
+4	This Week: vs. BAK 11/8, vs. BAK 11/10, vs. MIL 11/14
Record: 8-3-0-0

6	Last Week: CHI 4 @ MTB 5, CHI 4 @ MTB 1, CHI 5 @ MIL 3

Record: 8-3-0-1

7	Last Week: LV 3 @ BNG 4 (OT), BNG 2 @ LV 3 (OT)
	One word best to describe Lehigh Valley. Mercurial. That was on full display Saturday at home against Binghamton. The Phantoms get two to tie to force OT late and win. They had no business winning and did anyway. Yup, mercurial.
n/a	This Week: vs. SPR 11/9, vs. CHA 11/10, vs. CHA 11/14
Record: 6-3-1-1

8	Last Week: TUC 2 @ COL 3, TUC 1 @ COL 5

	After getting smacked hard for the first time in what seems like forever that the Politburo has been writing things about Tucson after their trip to Loveland, the Roadrunners rebound nicely with a midweek win against San Diego. San Jose, the division leader, stops in this weekend.

Record: 7-3-0-1

10	Last Week: HER 4 @ RCH 2, RCH 4 @ HER 1, HFD 1 @ HER 2 (SO)
	Quietly, Hershey is slowly ascending out of the terrible start to the season. This Saturday’s home matchup against Springfield makes for a good measuring stick we think.
+3	This Week: vs. SPR 11/10, @ SYR 11/11
Record: 6-7-0-1

Record: 7-5-1-0

13	Last Week: CHI 4 @ MTB 5, CHI 4 @ MTB 1

Record: 6-4-0-1

15	Last Week: HFD 3 @ WBS 5, HFD 3 @ WBS 2, HFD 1 @ HER 2 (SO)

19	Last Week: LV 3 @ BNG 4 (OT), BNG 2 @ LV 3 (OT), BNG 3 @ BRI 7

	Head Coach Jeremy Colliton gets the call to man the NHL Blackhawks this week. IceHogs are going to be a team to watch here in the short term to see how the transition away from Colliton affects things going forward.

Record: 4-6-1-0
