Welcome back to the TSL QB Power Rankings!

Every team in the League besides What A Dump has now played at least half of their schedule.  We know who's good.  We know who sucks.  We're ready to expand to a Top Twenty this week.

Let's see it!

Let's start with the big one: is Bobby McConnell REALLY just the sixth best Quarterback in the League now??  Eyes Downtown are 1-3-1 and yes, some of that is a product of scheduling (Legends and Sticky Bandits are their only real losses so far), but these aren't exactly scrubs at receiver that Bobby's putting out there.  Nick Voss?  Drew Butler?  Ben Stack?  These guys should score more points AND win more games, right?  But maybe we're crazy.  Would you take Bobby over Joey, Andy, Mike, Ryan or Buddy to start a game with the championship on the line tomorrow?

Buddy Lee is really showing what he can do after moving his teams up a division nearly every session (or merging with other teams).  Freeballers went from "practically winless" to "contender status" overnight, and ISH is alone in first place and a game away from locking up the #1 seed.  This is how you rise in the Rankings everyone!  Challenge yourself to play better opponents (and beat them).

Frodo Swaggins was a pretty competitive D1 team, and we weren't sure what to expect when they dropped down to D2... but we definitely weren't expecting a 1-2-2 record after Week 6.  Neither of those ties are "real" we're pretty sure, but we still don't know if Frodo is just toying with the regular season, or if this is just how good they are now.  Frodo vs Can't Touch This this week will be a real measuring stick game for that team.

Mavericks are in last place in D1, but are they really a "bad team"?  Of course, NO one in D1 is "bad", but they lost to Legends by 6 and Sticky Bandits by 2.  This could easily be a 2-2 team right now, and one that nobody would feel comfortable facing in the playoffs.  Oh, and Bullet Club are doing just fine in D3, so Jordan has that going for him in the Power Rankings.

BQI vs ISH was such a big D3 matchup that we were expecting something maybe a little more... high scoring.  Regardless, Buddy wins and Bridget loses, but it didn't hurt her place in the Power Rankings this week.

Frank Laudico is winless and ranked #16 in our Power Rankings (up a spot from last week, after Wanderers had a bye!).  Seems weird but... wouldn't you still take him over most of the guys ranked below him?  Especially if you're watching what he's doing in Breakfast Club.

Now that we've expanded to a Top Twenty, you're starting to see some more D4 teams peek into the Rankings.  Coochie Monsters and Puckett are basically D3 quality anyway.

And just like last week's graph of each team's offenses, here are the DEFENSES by division.  Stop blaming your QB if your defense sucks!

That's it for this week's Power Rankings!

Welcome back to the TSL QB Power Rankings!

The Godfather accused us of "phoning in" our article last week... but what he failed to notice is that we ALWAYS phone in our articles in the first half of the season!  We like to look at stats and charts, and there just isn't much data available for those this early in the season.  Can you believe that Frodo Swaggins have only played ONE game at the midpoint of the Spring 2026 season??  Seems impossible, but it's true.  In fact, there are 16 teams that have played two or fewer games so far this season, which makes charting their progress pretty damn pointless right now!

That being said: we will ALWAYS chart the progress of our QBs, so here are your top FIFTEEN QBs in the TSL:

Just a FEW notes on the above:

Bobby McConnell has been in our Top Three for 42 consecutive weeks.  That streak ends this week, as Andy Strug (who has scored more points against the same opponents) makes the jump into the Top Three for the first time.  Are the Malones real contenders??

Ryan Dougherty cleared up any questions this week about who the best QB was in D2 (if not the League).  If you were starting a new team tomorrow, would you take him over any of the four guys ranked ahead of him?  You'd think about it at least, right?

Bridget Masiello is now the highest ranked female in the history of our QB Power Rankings.  Kelly Kane and Sam Latucca are female QB legends (no disrespect to our friends on Puck Bunnies...) but Bridget is doing it a higher level and having more success.  Is her roster stacked with D1 players?  Of course, everyone can see that.  But watch the BQI games and you'll see that she's playing fantastic football right now.  Is she better than Andy Clark or Cody Stumpf?  No.  But could she be some day?

People from lower divisions always ask the question of why their QBs aren't ranked very highly in our charts.  The easy answer: we reward people for playing against better competition, so if you want to get noticed, you should try moving up a division or two!  Mike Wolcott is the perfect example of this.  He's been great since he first joined the Tuddies, but it's not until jumping to D4 and then D3 that people really started to notice what he could do against better talent.

That's it for this week!  NEXT week we will finally have some charts and graphs for you, so stay tuned until then!

Welcome back to the QB Power Rankings!

Last week was insane, or miserable, or fascinating, or dull, depending on what type of football you like.  We're a QB article.  We like offense.  And there wasn't a whole lot of that, for the most part.  (How about that Grey Hair Don't Care vs Two Tuddies 8-0 classic??)

So, while we're trying not to read TOO much into one week's worth of poor quality football, the games were played, they DO count, and everyone's record now includes some of these duds. 

That being said, here are your top 15 QBs in the TSL!

How about that Andy Strug!?  He's mowed down the "bad" teams of D1 (there really aren't any of those right now, but you catch our drift), he's won the close games against good teams, and yes, he lost to Legends, but hey, that's why he's not #1 (yet)

The Power Rankings in the early part of the season are always heavily driven by D1 games, and there were only two of those this week (both losses by the Sticky Bandits)?  How did that happen?  

The highest scoring teams in D3 right now are the Stunts and ISH, which surprises just about no one.  Did anyone else think Let's Get Reccked would be the third highest scoring team in that division at this point in the season?  They're scoring more than BQI, but Bridget gets the nod in the Power Rankings because (double checks the math) 4-0 is better than 2-2.

Can't Touch This vs Frodo Swaggins had the makings of an epic showdown between two teams we thought could be D2 contenders coming into the season.  The teams agreed to take a tie in the rain, so we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out who's better.

We don't have any D4 teams in the Power Rankings YET, but someone will have to tell us who's throwing for Puckett and Coochie Monsters this year.  Both teams are looking dominant right now (rain loss by Coochie aside), those QBs will be in the Power Rankings sooner than later.

***

And finally, here is your FIRST GRAPH of the Spring 2026 season!

Points per game scored, by division, by team.  Is your offense any good, or have they been holding your team back all season?  Take a look below!

Only FOUR teams this session are above the 40+ PPG mark: Blue Ballers lead the way at 48.8, but Malones, Puckett and Stunts aren't far behind.

Normally our cut-off for "you're really struggling" is anyone with less than 20 PPG... but with the terrible weather we're having this session, an amazing 13 teams (more than a quarter of the League!) are averaging less than 20!  We're guessing this trend turns around a bit in June.  How are Blue Ballers averaging almost 50???

That's it for this week!  Tune in next week for our TOP TWENTY QBS (and probably some other graphs or pictures).

Welcome back to the TSL716 QB Power Rankings!

With the rain-out week plus a lot of top teams not in action this week, we're nearly at the midpoint of the season and some teams have barely played any games yet (Legends have only one so far... a three point win).

It is tough to rank teams with small sample sizes!  But hell, if anyone can handle it, it's us.

Here are your Top Ten QBs in the TSL:

• When are we going to start ranking Andy Strug ahead of Bobby McConnell???  While it's fair to give Andy his flowers right now (Malones are KILLING it in D1), can we take a deep breath and remember that Eyes Downtown have only played two teams so far, and those are the two D1 finalists from last Fall session?  Let's see how Andy does against Legends before we anoint him a Top Three QB.
• A lot of us just assumed that Can't Touch This would be the team to beat in D2 this session, and maybe they are... but Jabronies are looking REALLY good right now.  Does anyone want to bet against those receivers in late June??
• We know What a Dump lost a lot of talent in the offseason, but scoring only 26 points in two games??  You'd think between Kyle, Andy and Derek that their defense ALONE could almost run back that number of points with just pick-sixes!  Cody drops out of the top ten, and Damien Keller takes his place.
• Three of our Top Ten QBs have beaten or tied the Wanderers so far this session, which would have been a major accomplishment in prior seasons.  In Spring 2026, we're not sure how much that means though.

With another week of action in the books next week, we should have a large enough sample size to expand to a Top Fifteen.  Til then....

What's your Ranking?
