Top 10 Power Rankings

1.

OWNER: Q

TEAM: Chiefs

It was very difficult not to put the league champion in the number one spot in these rankings. However, in season two the Chiefs are as dangerous as ever with Q at the controls while LB (still elite) is figuring some things out. The Chiefs currently have the #2 ranked scoring offense in the entire league which is anchored by that lethal passing attack which by no surprise is tops in the league. While his defense is prone to allowing some garbage time yardage and points skewing the numbers, this defense leads the SFL in takeaways. Q and the Chiefs are currently the top dog.

2.

OWNER: LB

TEAM: Ravens

While I am a believer in “you’re at the top until someone knocks you off the top,” I had to drop LB to the number two spot in these rankings. LB is an elite owner who understands the NUANCES of the game. His team is not lighting the league on fire offensively, as we all know that is not his style of play. He is a grinder who loves ball control and time of possession. It is a method that works due to his top-notch defense which ranks in the top 5 of total yards, pass yards, rush yards, and points allowed. LB will be looking to repeat as champion.

3.

OWNER: Malek

TEAM: Giants

Malek has only one loss on the season just like the number one team on this list. They both lost to the cheese formally known as Drip. Good riddance. There was talk about needing a ring to be considered “elite” in this league. To me, Malek is an elite owner, and a ring would only validate that status and not create it. He will always be an owner in contention and someone everyone needs to pay attention to. Malek possesses the rare combination of being good on both sides of the ball. He is a top 10 team in all major categories for both offense and defense.

4.

OWNER: Ed

TEAM: Browns

I am not sure Ed quite gets the regard he is due. In my opinion he is a top owner in this league and his history as a multiple time champion and success this cycle proves that point. Ed has quietly been rolling along this season. He has not lost and currently holds the #6 scoring offense and #4 scoring defense in the SFL. That complete style of play is obviously a recipe for success. I expect Ed to make a serious run at the AFC Crown this season.

5.

OWNER: Chan

TEAM: Titans

Like Ed, Chan is another owner who many feel is overrated. All he keeps doing is winning games and posting prime gifs in the chat. If he fails to capture a league crown, he at least holds the belt for gif champion. Chan’s defense is putting up absurd numbers as he is damn near tops in every major category. Chan will make a run. #Stretch

6.

OWNER: Bryce

TEAM: 49ers

Bryce might have a 4-3 record, but this is a team that held the best record in the league last season, and he is a very good owner. Bryce is a playoff staple and I expect him to be there yet again this season. Bryce has a top 10 offense and while his defense has underperformed this season, I expect him to patch some things up and make a run.

7.

OWNER: AC

TEAM: Broncos

This selection is going to cause a riot. AC might be the most underrated owner in league history. I at least believe this with the current group of league owners. AC is a multiple time champion, consistent headache for opposing offenses, and is never an easy out. AC was a playoff team last season in a tough AFC with Cam Newton at QB. He is now 4-3 with losses to tough teams once again utilizing Cam Newton and a rookie QB with a rating in the low 60’s. Give this man his regard. The end.

8.

OWNER: Matt

TEAM: Buccaneers

On a recent podcast, many pegged Matt as “overrated.” Some might think this is a bias move with me ranking him #8 while teams with better records are nowhere to be seen. Why make a rankings article if it was strictly on team record? The list would be a copy and paste article then. Matt currently has the Buccaneers as the number 2 offense in terms of total yards and he is top 10 in both pass and rush yards. We can make the argument he has more Superstars than a Superstar cluster in the Milky Way Galaxy. Well, he has more, and the Madden gods keep giving him more. He is still a very good owner and ranks here at #8.

9.

OWNER: Gharl (William)

TEAM: Jets

Gharl was a difficult owner to place as I was not sure to place him in the top 10. However, he is winning games and proves last season was a tank job. That is ok, as it is a strategy many have used and even the absolute best has used. Gharl has produced an elite defense anchored by his front 7. He currently has the #5 defense in total yards allowed and he is #2 in rush yards allowed. He also has the #4 ranked passing offense. Gharl seems to be one of the many beneficiaries of the nerfed INT slider. We play the game to what rules and sliders are in place though. Gharl sits here at #9 and I would be disappointed if he does not win the East

10.

OWNER: Byrd

TEAM: Dolphins

In my original rankings I let this team slip past me. That should not have happened. Byrd is a top owner currently having a down season. He is also a multiple time champion and an owner always in contention. I feel Byrd being at #10 is also a temporary thing. I expect him to start stringing some quality wins together and climb these rankings by season's end. I expect to see Byrd in the playoffs.
