2024 UFL Week Seven Power Rankings

S. Samek

It’s time for the weekly power ranking for UFL football. Today we look at the standings after seven weeks of play to see who is hot and who is not.

8.MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS (-1)

The slide continues reaching six in a row. After a 24-point loss to the previously winless Renegades this week it just doesn’t look good.

7.HOUSTON ROUGHNECKS (-1)

They have the second worst losing streak in the league and just aren’t playing to0 well currently.

6.ARLINGTON RENEGADES (+2)

They finally get into the win column. With a win over Memphis they jump them in the power rankings.

5.DC DEFENDERS (No Change)

This team is middle of the pack record wise, so they get the middle ranking spot.

4.SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS (No Change)

They continue to keep pace with the BattleHawks in the win column and have one of the best records in the league.

3.ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS (-1)

A tough loss to the Stallions in a statement game. Though they do still hold first place in the XFL Conference.

2.MICHIGAN PANTHERS ( +1)

The Panthers are on a winning streak and up there with the league’s top teams.

1.BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS (No Change)

The remain undefeated after a quality win over the BattleHawks. Hard to argue they aren’t still the best team in the league at the moment.

UFL moves to week seven of the season. Who will win this week’s matches? winners in bold.

MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS VS ARLINGTON RENEGADES

ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS VS BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS

This would be my pick for game of the week. The undefeated Stallions against the BattleHawks in a battle of conference leaders.

SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS VS HOUSTON ROUGHNECKS

2024 UFL Week Six Power Rankings

S. Samek

Here are the weekly power rankings for week six of the UFL. Which teams made moves and which stayed?

8.ARLINGTON RENEGADES (No Change)

Will they ever get a win? Maybe this week against Memphis.

7.MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS (No Change)

Still can’t shake the losing streak. Maybe against Arlington it can happen.

6.HOUSTON ROUGHNECKS (No Change)

Bad overall record, but not as bad as a major losing streak, or winless season so far.

5.DC DEFENDERS (No Change)

The win is good, but they still have a middle of the pack record.

4.SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS( -1)

They lost this week, so they move down.

3.MICHIGAN PANTHERS (+1)

The Panthers are looking pretty good with back-to-back wins.

2.ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS (No Change)

They continue to win games. Now they have a chance to make a statement with a win this week over Birmingham.

1.BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS (No Change)

The first team to make the conference championship this season. They remained undefeated through six games. They do have a big test this week against St. Louis though.

2024 UFL Week 5 Power Rankings

S. Samek

The UFL season is halfway done. Which teams rank the best at the midpoint of the season? Was there any movement from last week’s rankings?

8.ARLINGTON RENEGADES (No Change)

Stil the lone team without a win this season. Easy pick to remain in the last spot in the rankings.

7.MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS (No Change)

The four-game losing streak is brutal. They just aren’t playing well currently.

6.HOUSTON ROUGHNECKS (No Change)

Houston doesn’t have a long losing streak, but really isn’t doing anything to rank highly in the power rankings. Six is pretty much the best possible spot right now.

5.DC DEFENDERS (No Change)

They are the lone 2-3 team in the league, which gives them a better record than the teams behind them in the rankings.

4.MICHIGAN PANTHERS (No Change)

Michigan moved from bubble pick at four, or five last week to solid at number for this week. They are the lone 3-2 team which places them middle of the pack.

3.SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS (No Change)

They did win this week, but they only have won back-to-back games and have a bit smaller of a strength of victory than St. Louis giving them the three spot.

2.ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS (No Change)

They have a four-game winning streak now and that puts them in the second spot in the ranking.

1.BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS (No Change)

They remain the lone undefeated team, so they remain rated number one.

2024 UFL Week 5 Picks

S. Samek

The UFL is reached the halfway point of the season it’s week five already. Who will win this week? Here are my picks for the winners this week. Picks in bold.

SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS VS ARLINGTON RENEGADES

Renegades still looking for their first win of the year. I don’t think they get it against a good Brahmas team.

BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS VS HOUSTON ROUGHNECKS

The Roughnecks got in the win collum in week four. However, that was short lived as they face the lone undefeated team in the league. I think the Stallions stay undefeated with a win this week.

ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS VS D.C. DEFENDERS

An XFL conference clash as the BattleHawks look to stay atop the conference, thanks to a three-game winning streak. I think the streak extends to four games this week with a win over the Defenders.

MICHIGAN PANTHERS VS MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS

Memphis is on a three-game slide heading into this USFL conference match. I don’t think the slide stops as I’m picking Michigan to win.

2024 UFL Week 4 Power Rankings

S. Samek

Let’s dive into the power rankings for week four of the UFL. Let’s see how it compares to last week’s rankings.

8.ARLINGTON RENEGADES (No Change)

The lone team without a win this season. They lost to the Roughnecks in a battle of winless squads this past week. They are also the first team to allow 100 points this season and have the worst points allowed mark.

7.MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS (-1)

The Showboats are on a losing streak of three games to drop them to this mark. They also have the second worst mark in both points scored and points allowed in the league.

6.HOUSTON ROUGHNECKS(+1)

The Roughnecks won their first game of the season during week four. While they may have the worst mark in the league for points scored, they did win this week, so they have a better ranking than a slumping Memphis.

5.D.C. DEFENDERS (No Change)

They lost this week. They seem pretty much interchangeable with the Michigan Panthers in the rankings. If you like more points scored, they have the edge. If you like less points allowed Michigan is ranked ahead.

4.MICHIGAN PANTHERS (No Change)

They lost and could be either rank four or rank five. See description above.

3.SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS (No Change)

They won to keep pace with St. Louis in the conference. However, with St. Louis on a hot streak they stay at number three in the rankings.

2.ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS (No Change)

The BattleHawks are on a winning streak of three games. They also have scored the most points in the league with 106.

1.BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS (No Change)

Best record and lone undefeated team in the league. Easy pick to remain at number one.

2024 UFL Week 4 Picks

S. Samek

Who will be victorious during week four of the UFL season? Will the Birmingham Stallions remain undefeated? Will the Arlington Renegades, or Houston Roughnecks breakthrough for their first wins of the season? One of them will as they play each other this week. Let’s see what’s on tap for the week four picks, winners in bold as always.

MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS VS ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS
