Dream Team Erupts; Computer Jocks Climb Into Top 4

League sources tell me The Dream just dropped 170.82 points — the highest score in The League this week — and that explosion helped rocket them up four spots to #5 in the power rankings. Meanwhile, Computer Jocks are on fire, winning three straight and climbing three spots to #4, while Dark Magicians hold the #1 spot with a dominant 67.5% all-play record. But it's not all good news: Fire Ready are in freefall with a brutal seven-game losing streak.

The order on the map

  1. Dark Magicians sit atop The League at #1 with a 67.5% all-play record and 144.8 PPG over the last three weeks — elite execution when it matters most.

  2. 2

    Vitside Mafia 12-6

    Vitside's on a three-game win streak and holding steady at #2 with a 69.8% all-play mark — money is nice, but championships are better, and this team is playing like a contender.

    Da Dangsters 13-5

    Up 2

    Da Dangsters surged up two spots to #3 with a 71.0% all-play record and are putting the league on notice with their consistency.

  6. 6

    Gridiron Geeks 10-8

    Down 3

    Gridiron Geeks are slipping, down three to #6 after dropping two of their last three, but a 3-game winning streak keeps them dangerous.

    58.0% all-play 114.7 PPG, last three weeks

  7. 7

    The Mariachi Ninjas 8-10

    Down 3

    Mariachi Ninjas fell three spots to #7 with a 49.8% all-play record, though they're riding a three-game win streak — stay tuned.

  8. 8

    Wascawy Wabbits 15-3

    Down 2

    Wascawy Wabbits have completely cratered, falling two spots to #8 after going 0-3 over the last three weeks and scoring just 93.4 PPG — a 117.5 season average can't save you from this collapse.

    65.9% all-play 93.4 PPG, last three weeks

  9. 9

    Bring The Pain 11-7

    Down 1

    Bring The Pain are down one to #9 but boasting the longest active win streak in The League at four straight — league sources say they're buying low and selling high.

    61.6% all-play 85.8 PPG, last three weeks

  10. Midwestside are stuck at #10 with a concerning 46.3% all-play record despite a 2-1 mark over the last three — middle-of-the-pack purgatory.

    46.3% all-play 95.2 PPG, last three weeks

  11. Pigskins are flat at #11 with a 43.1% all-play record and 95.0 PPG over the last three — not good enough to climb, not bad enough to fall further.

    43.1% all-play 95.0 PPG, last three weeks

  12. 12

    Dead Cap Walking 5-13

    Up 2

    Dead Cap climbed two spots to #12 on a 28.6% all-play record, but league sources tell me they're 0-3 over the last three weeks and spiraling with a 3-game losing streak.

  13. 13

    Music City Mafia 5-13

    Down 1

    Music City fell one spot to #13 and left a catastrophic 41.70 points on the bench this week — that kind of management malpractice will sink any franchise.

    34.9% all-play 92.4 PPG, last three weeks

  14. 14

    Fire Ready Aim 2-16

    Up 2

    Fire Ready climbed two spots to #14 but are drowning in a seven-game losing streak, the longest active cooler in The League.

  15. 15

    Cowboy Up 5-13

    Down 2

    Cowboy Up dropped two to #15 with a 33.7% all-play record and are stuck in neutral with a three-game losing streak.

    Maverick 5-13

    Down 1

    Mavericks slipped one spot to #16, going 0-3 over the last three weeks with just 82.7 PPG — rock bottom is getting closer.
