Sarah Climbs to Third as Father Badonka-conk Takes a Beating
Sarah Trahern is up to third, and the door opened when Hartley's Hail Mary knocked Father Badonka-conk around by 32.5 points. It's a one-spot slide for Michael, small on paper, but losing that badly to a team ranked 13th is hard to explain away. Up top, Devin and Justin didn't budge.
This Week's Power Rankings
1. To Infinity and Bijan (–) — 76 pts
Devin came into this season with a losing all-time record and one playoff trip in three years, and holds the top spot again anyway. The win over Kylyn keeps the throne warm. Fair warning, though: these weekly totals swing hard, and Katie's playoff résumé is waiting next week.
2. Jackie Moon’s Flint Tropics FC (–) — 75 pts
Justin's first season here has been nothing but highs. The week's best score came in at 120.8, and it still only cleared Madi by 0.7, which shows how thin the air is up here. Sarah visits next in the best game on the Week 7 slate.
3. SPORTZCHICK Sarah T (▲1) — 65 pts
Three seasons, zero playoff trips, and now Sarah sits third. The roster spreads the load about as evenly as anyone's, with Derrick Henry the biggest piece at 16%, though the weekly totals bounce more than any team's. Beating jeff squared their all-time series at 2-2. Justin is next.
4. Father Badonka-conk (▼1) — 63 pts
Michael's roster leans on Jaxon Smith-Njigba about as hard as any team leans on anybody. That's fine while it works. A 79.0 against a team ranked 13th is the ugly part, and the only reason the fall stopped at one spot is how crowded this tier is. Emily is next.
5. Goff the Beaten Path (–) — 62 pts
Katie has made the playoffs in every season this league has played, with a runner-up finish mixed in. The record is a touch worse than the scoring deserves, and the weeks are as dependable as anyone's near the top. Devin gets Katie next, and that's a real test for the leader.
6. T-law and Order (–) — 56 pts
The case for Grace rests on reliability: few teams wobble less, and the win over Amanda kept the record shiny. The scoring is lighter than everyone else's in this neighborhood, though. Three seasons without a playoff trip, and this is a genuine shot at changing that.
7. nothing beats a jjettas2holiday (▼1) — 55 pts
Nothing beats a jjettas2holiday, except Justin by 0.7. Madi made every right lineup call, posted 120.1, and lost anyway, which is about as cruel as this game gets. A one-spot drop for a week with nothing to second-guess.
8. EA Sports (–) — 43 pts
Nobody's luck has been worse than Emily's, and this week the wound was partly self-inflicted: the right lineup would have scored 14.3 more and beaten Katie. The scoring is sturdy enough to keep this team ranked well above its record. Michael comes in wounded next week.
9. Islands in the Stream(ing) def. (–) — 41 pts
No team in the league is more consistent, and no roster spreads its points more evenly. That has gotten jeff an even record and a narrow loss to Sarah. The 2023 title says jeff knows how to finish. The current scoring just doesn't scare anyone yet.
10. All the Loves (▲2) — 38 pts
Amanda climbed two spots in a week the lineup cost a game, which says plenty about how packed the middle is. The same roster had 10.1 more points in it, enough to beat Grace. Three playoff trips in three seasons is why nobody's writing Amanda off.
11. TURN DOWN FOR WATT (▼1) — 34 pts
Kylyn's first season just produced the most painful box score in the league. The optimal lineup on that roster would have scored 154.0. The one that took the field came up 56.4 short of it, and Devin took the win. First-year lessons don't come much pricier.
12. Texas Puppies (▼1) — 33 pts
Brenden started exactly the right players, and they combined for 53.1, the lowest score anyone has posted this season. There's no decision to second-guess, which might be worse. A runner-up finish and two playoff trips buy some patience, and losing to the last-place team spends it quickly.
13. Hartley's Hail Mary (–) — 25 pts
The 2025 champ handed out the week's biggest beating, and Michael was on the receiving end. No roster in the league is more top-heavy, with Brock Purdy carrying 23% of the load, so the good weeks look like this one and the bad ones look like the rest of Aaron's season.
14. Lamarvelous (–) — 19 pts
Madeline's team doesn't swing much, and the win over Elisabeth was comfortable. The record is a little kinder than the scoring, too. Only one team has had more luck go its way.
15. Hurts, Don't it? (–) — 13 pts
Elisabeth's first season has been a long one, and the loss to Madeline didn't shorten it. The scoring sits near the bottom and the luck hasn't chipped in. The team name is doing some honest work right now.
16. Antioch Dirty Birds (–) — 11 pts
Mike's team has scored the fewest points in the league, and nobody has caught more breaks. Both showed up this week, when a modest 81.7 happened to land on Brenden's worst night. Two playoff trips in two seasons says Mike can find the door. The scoring says it's a long hallway.
