Time to scrap the Div1 & 2 league finals - don't see any point in them now - top the table - win the league.

I fancy Donegal to really go after Kerry in the league final - they were like a greyhound who had been fed a burger yesterday. Wont be the case the next day out.

Three of the top five teams in country are not in Connaught. Just because you can't, or don't want
to separate them doesn't mean they are ranked 3, 4 and 5.

It's a hard one to call. You could question why Galway are 3rd... OK they drew against Kerry & Donegal in the league but there's an argument for moving them to 5th as both Mayo & Roscommon bet them in the league & finished above them (which counts for little at this stage but you have to base it on something) and maybe moving Armagh up to 4th purely on the basis that they've played championship already. But as I've said, tough one to call.

There will be a bigger headache if Leitrim manage the unthinkable at the weekend... haha

Power rankings are hard to do as it can swap and change but I'd have Kerry and Donegal top with nothing between them, I'd then have Armagh in 3rd and then a group of Galway, mayo, Dublin, rossies all the same level then cork, Meath Louth, derry and Tyrone all the same (Tyrone having potential to go up a group)

In fairness, both Mayo & Roscommon bet you in the league and finished above ye, so 3rd is probably a bit ahead at the minute. You could argue for 4th but only on the basis that ye have a championship game under your belt.
