The Schutt Sports Top 12 Poll has been released and Dallas remains supplanted at the top of the pile, while the Georgia Force (5-1) remain the lone Southern Division team in the top 5. When the Storm (1-5) faced Orlando in the season-opener, the Predators were ranked fifth in the poll. This time around, Orlando (2-3) has dropped to No. 12. And by virtue of its 66-43 loss to the Storm Saturday, New Orleans was dropped from the seventh spot to ninth.
