Hello again and welcome to the final edition of the 2026 UFL power rankings.
We're entering the 10th and final week of the regular season, with three of the four playoff teams already known, and just two teams alive for the final spot.
We could wax poetic for about 2,500 words or so about the season that was -- trials, tribulations and such -- but we've all got loved ones to speak to and grills to prep for the summer. So instead, we bring you our latest bit of spring football insight.
We combed through many impactful metrics to rank the teams for their performance to date in the league. And as a bonus this week, Professor Willis here will give each team its final grade.
Here's where each team stacks up heading into the final week.

Why they're here: After back-to-back home losses following a 4-0 start, we were having serious doubts about Anthony Becht's squad. However, they've rebounded with three straight victories, all by eight or fewer points. And with 15 touchdown passes to just one interception, Storm quarterback Jack Plummer has put himself on the MVP short list.
Final grade: A+. As a new franchise with a QB making his spring football debut, expectations had Orlando as a mid-pack team prior to the season. But this team has not yet lost on the road and is one win away from being the top seed.
2. St. Louis Battlehawks (6-3)
Previous power ranking: Second
Why they're here: This team has had three different starting quarterbacks this season, going 2-1 each with Brandon Silvers, Harrison Frost and Luis Perez starting. Although their scoring is similar in each QB's starts, the team has averaged 337 yards per game in Perez's three starts compared to 281 for Frost and 245 for Silvers. However, Perez has thrown four interceptions.
Final grade: B. If we could grade units separately, the defense (first in yards allowed) gets an A, while the offense (last in yards per play) would be closer to a C. That's just with the upside of Perez, who needs to cut down on his turnovers.
3. Louisville Kings (5-4)
Previous power ranking: Fourth
