Ladies and gentlemen of the TSL Universe, we are smack dab in the middle of the 2026 Spring session for the TSL. Normally, this is where I’d be giving my “halfway through the season” updated championship odds and predictions, but with the “Week 1 Rainout”, not to be confused with the Week 4 rainouts, we’re technically a week behind schedule as the Race for Social Co-Ed Immortality truly heats up. With that we’ll save the “halfway there” talk for next week. As for now, I came up with something fun. 

 

With the TSLQBPRC doing their usual coasting through the first few weeks of the season, I figured it was time that I did my own current power rankings for each division. Besides, who cares about just power ranking the QBs anyway? Let’s do all of the teams. Now, I didn’t really care as much about your current record here, because that’s not nearly as fun, but I did take into account things like your schedule difficulty so far, how many points you’re scoring, how many you’re allowing, and compared them to how many points for and against that your opponents so far have been allowing. I also included fun things like “cool vibes” and really just kind of tinkered with things until they felt right. 

 

So with that said, welcome to the current edition of the TSLGFDTPRs! (Topper Sports League GodFather Divisional Team Power Rankings). 

 

D1 Power Rankings

 

• Legends - Still the standard after beating Malones.

• Sticky Bandits - Balanced, unbeaten, and proven.

• The Malones - Loss to Legends doesn’t erase contender status.

• Freeballers - Offense is dangerous, defense still questionable.

• Eyes Downtown - Better than record, stabilized with WAD win.

• Mavericks - Best winless team; brutal schedule.

• What A Dump - Struggling badly against tough opponents.

 

D2 Power Rankings

 

• Can’t Touch This - Best overall profile after smashing Jabronies.

• Jabronies - Still dangerous, but CTT loss hurts.

• D-Generation XYZ - Better than record suggests.

• Frodo Swaggins - Competitive but hard to trust.

• Buffalo Vice - Brutal schedule, still adjusting.

 

D3 Power Rankings

 

• BQI - Best results and strongest adjusted profile.

• ISH - Explosive offense, real contender.

• Cunning Stunts - Still hard to beat, still badass.

• Bullet Club - Dangerous but inconsistent.

• Grey Hair - Solid defense, steady team.

• Wanderers - Awful record, but schedule/talent keeps them alive.

• Let’s Get Reccked - Improving and dangerous.

• Two Tuddies - Can score, but inconsistent.

• Practice Squad - Name still scares people more than results.

 

D4 Power Rankings

 

• Puckett - Best defensive profile in the division.

• Coochie Monsters - Undefeated and officially legit.

• Mike’s Detailing - Quietly one of the best teams.

• Tater Tots - Great offense, shaky defense.

• Not So Sticky - Steady and annoying to play.

• Balls Deep - Upside still there.

• Flying Balls - Need more data after rainout.

• PowerPuff Girls - Dangerous but inconsistent.

• Cobblestone - Not there yet, Garrett letting Darryl down.

• Show Me Your TDs - Need offense badly.

 

D5 Power Rankings

 

• Blitzkrieg - Most complete team so far.

• Blue Ballers - Best offensive force in D5, maybe the TSL.

• Call the Doctor - Very real, huge Week 5 test.

• Wet Bandits - Undefeated and sneaky good.

• Birds of War - Volatile but talented.

• 716ers - Quietly dangerous.

• Come From Behind - Better offense than record.

• Mo’ Chicken - Easier schedule ahead, but needs results.

• SBG - Competitive in spots, not enough yet.

• Pit Harade - Defense is a major issue.

• Sausage McMuffins - Roughest adjusted profile.

 

D6 Power Rankings

 

• Intentional Clowning - Best efficiency so far.

• Sticky Laces - Better than record most weeks.

• Irish Giants - High ceiling, very inconsistent.

• TMA - Trending up after rough start, Brent more awesome than ever.

• Raw Milkers - Flashes upside, lacks consistency.

• Select - Better than record, but needs to figure something out soon.

 

 

So there you have it. Hate where your team is at? Don’t blame me, you’re the one that played the games. This is just how I see things as we strut on into Memorial Day weekend. If you want to complain though, feel free, as always, to email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and tell me all about it. 

 

Now let’s get into the good stuff:

D1

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

Sticky Bandits 40, Mavericks 38

Legends 54, The Malones 43

Eyes Downtown 40, What A Dump 16

D1 suddenly feels alive again. The Legends reminded everybody they’re still the team to beat, but the Malones absolutely looked like they belonged on the same field. Sticky Bandits survived a scare against the Mavericks, and now the Mavericks suddenly look WAY more dangerous than a normal 0-3 team should. Meanwhile, Eyes Downtown may have saved their season before it spiraled completely out of control, while What A Dump officially enters “things are getting uncomfortable” territory.

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

STICKY BANDITS VS THE MALONES (+1) - The Malones have to put the loss to the Legends in their rearview mirror already and focus on the road ahead, because they already get another “measuring stick” game of sorts as they take on the Sticky Bandits, who also have a pretty decent claim to the throne of D1. The Malones have been the talk of the league so far with how well they’ve played, and they’re about to make even more waves this week. THE MALONES BY 6

FREEBALLERS VS STICKY BANDITS (+3) - The Sticky Bandits get right back into the fray with a game against the Freeballers, who are exactly like their last opponent - hungry and looking to make a name for themselves. While having a target on their back isn’t unusual for Sticky Nation, they know there aren’t any easy outs in D1 anymore. STICKY BANDITS BY 8

MAVERICKS VS WHAT A DUMP (+6) - Both of these teams are winless but they still feel miles apart. WAD is getting roughed up a bit and they feel directionless. The Mavs are just a couple of plays away from some big wins and once they fix their slow starts, look out. MAVERICKS BY 9

FREEBALLERS VS EYES DOWNTOWN (+4) - I love this world where the Freeballers are favored against some of the marquee D1 teams halfway through the season. Clearly Vegas respects the Freeballers play as of late, but I still need to see more. EYES DOWNTOWN BY 3

D2

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

JABRONIES 36, BUFFALO VICE 31

CAN’T TOUCH THIS 48, BUFFALO VICE 22

CAN’T TOUCH THIS 45, JABRONIES 8

D-GENERATION XYZ 21, FRODO SWAGGINS 21

D2 officially became terrifying this week. Can’t Touch This didn’t just beat the Jabronies they completely changed the conversation around the division, but I’m well aware that they weren’t at full strength. Buffalo Vice got thrown directly into the fire after moving up, but they’re competing and Frodo somehow remains the weirdest team in the TSL. Every game in this division now feels stressful, even the agreed to rainout ties. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

BUFFALO VICE VS FRODO SWAGGINS (+2) - Okay, both of these teams could really use the win, just to get the season going in the right direction. Frodo hasn’t really played enough for me to see what they’re about this season, but I’ve seen enough of Vice. They’re underrated. BUFFALO VICE BY 3

CAN’T TOUCH THIS VS D-GENERATION XYZ (+8) - Can’t Touch This is flying high. 2-0 against their toughest competition, clicking on all cylinders. And yet, we’ve seen this before. Great regular season, playoff heartbreak. DXYZ is “blessed” with a double header of doom. I don’t think they’ll catch CTT sleeping. CAN’T TOUCH THIS BY 13

JABRONIES VS D-GENERATION XYZ (+5) - It doesn’t get better for DXYZ as they go from the class of the division, to the class of the divison (angry version). Even with a weaker squad last week, there’s no way that loss doesn’t sting, and the Jabs may want to make a statement here. JABRONIES BY 17

CAN’T TOUCH THIS VS FRODO SWAGGINS (+10) - The second half of a double header for both of these squads. Even if Frodo looks good early, I’m not sure it’ll matter. CAN’T TOUCH THIS BY 10

D3

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

BQI 34, WANDERERS 28

GREY HAIR - DON’T CARE 34, WANDERERS 28

LET’S GET RECCKED 33, GREY HAIR - DON’T CARE 12

CUNNING STUNTS 32, PRACTICE SQUAD 6

CUNNING STUNTS 21, INTERSPACIAL SQUALLING HARRIERS 21

D3 continues to feel less like a division and more like a psychological experiment. BQI’s start now looks fully legitimate, the Wanderers put up a pair of 34-28 losses and are a shocking 0-5-1, and the Stunts continue to be on their way back to their usual dominance. Also, nobody knows what to do with Practice Squad right now. It’s easy to write them off, but they’ve famously won D3 from the bottom seed after a winless season. Look out for Let’s Get Reccked. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

BQI VS BULLET CLUB (+5) - The brand new D3 team against the team that’s been in D3 the longest (I think). BQI has had a heck of a start, rocketing to the top of the division, while Bullet Club finds themselves in their usual position near the top of the standings. BQI BY 6

LET’S GET RECCKED VS PRACTICE SQUAD (+4) - LGR is looking to just start getting it going, while Practice Squad finds themselves stuck in the mud. I know they’ll eventually snap out of it, I just don’t know when. LET’S GET RECCKED BY 5

INTERSPACIAL SQUALLING HARRIERS VS PRACTICE SQUAD (+10) - The same thing as the last game, except the Squad has already played a game and they’re playing a better team. Not great. ISH BY 16

INTERSPACIAL SQUALLING HARRIERS VS TWO TUDDIES (+6) - The Tud Buds have only played two games after four weeks of football, which really gives us no clue on where they stand in the D3 hirarchy. Beating the Wanderers and losing to the Stunts just means they did what they were supposed to do so far. Statement time for them. TWO TUDDIES BY 7

GREY HAIR - DON’T CARE VS TWO TUDDIES (+3) - Grey Hair is in a similar boat as the Tuddies which means we could be in for a good matchup here. Even with the bonus of catching them on the backend of a doubleheader, I still think Grey Hair is a shade behind the Tud Buds. TWO TUDDIES BY 4

D4

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

BALLS DEEP 26, COBBLESTONE 12

COOCHIE MONSTERS 37, TATER TOTS 36

TATER TOTS 38, POWERPUFF GIRLS 30

D4 may be the most entertaining division in the league. The Coochie Monsters are officially a real contender, Tater Tots continue producing  every single game, knocking off the PowerPuff Girls and now Mike’s Detailing enters the spotlight with a chance to completely reshape the division this week. Balls Deep quietly got their first win, finally. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

BALLS DEEP VS FLYING BALLS (+1) - Big Balls Battle week is upon us as the Deep ones take on the Flying ones. Balls Deep got in the win column last week, and they’ll look to move to .500 with a win over a Flying Balls team that is searching for a first win of their own. The Flying Balls have looked good, regardless of their lack of wins, and they feel poised to break out soon. FLYING BALLS BY 9

COOCHIE MONSTERS VS MIKE’S DETAILING (+1) - Big Game of the Day potential right here. The Coochie Monsters have been awesome so far this season, easily one of the league’s early top storylines and surprises. Mike’s Detailing are no slouches themselves putting up lots of points in their two wins. This one should be fun. MIKE’S DETAILING BY 1

NOT SO STICKY VS COBBLESTONE (+8) - Cobblestone still seems to be going through their usual roster issues which really just prevents the team from gelling. Meanwhile a good portion of NSS has been playing together since 1993. NOT SO STICKY BY 14

MIKE’S DETAILING VS COBBLESTONE (+12) - It doesn’t get easier for Cobblestone as they’ll get a Mike’s Detailing that’s angry about a loss to the Coochie Monsters, or pumped up about a win in that game. MIKE’S DETAILING BY 13

PUCKETT VS SHOW ME YOUR TDS (+16) - Puckett has impressively only allowed 6 points so far this season while SMYTDs has unimpressively scored 6 points this season. This could be a bloodbath of epic proportions. PUCKETT BY 22. 

D5

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

BLITZKRIEG 42, SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS 0

CALL THE DOCTOR 36, COME FROM BEHIND 17

BIRDS OF WAR 48, SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS 26

BLUE BALLERS 46, PIT HARADE 19

COME FROM BEHIND 35, BIRDS OF WAR 34

CALL THE DOCTOR 40, MO’ CHICKEN 26

716ERS 23, SBG 20

D5 is becoming absurd. Every contender can score 40, every game feels dangerous, and now the top teams finally start colliding with each other. This division feels like an offensive arms race and I have no clue who will come out on top. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

BLITZKRIEG VS CALL THE DOCTOR (+2) - Call The Doctor has had a very nice start to their existence, but it feels like reality is about to set in. Right? QB Eickhoff can run an offense, thats for sure, but now they’re getting a D5 heavyweight to see where they measure up. Blitzkrieg MIGHT give up more points than their 4 points allowed per game average this time, but they’ll still score a bunch. BLITZKRIEG BY 17

BLITZKRIEG VS 716ERS (+10) - The 716ers are the 2-0 team that aren’t getting nearly enough publicity so far this year. Granted, two 3-point wins aren’t anything to really write home about, but wins are wins damnit. They’re in the same boat as CTD was in the first game, this is their test to see where they measure up. They don’t. BLITZKRIEG BY 13

CALL THE DOCTOR VS SBG (+14) - SBG comes into this game winless in their three games so far this season, but they could’ve pulled the upset last week and just fell short. They’re coming along, but there’s still more to go before they can beat CTD. CALL THE DOCTOR BY 12

COME FROM BEHIND VS SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS (+4) - The McMuffins aren’t very McMuffiny anymore. Come From Behind is finally starting to come around to form. That’s all there really is to it. COME FROM BEHIND BY 12

MO’ CHICKEN VS PIT HARADE (+2) - Mo’ Chicken is favored in a game this late in the season? That’s good news for them, but terrible news for Pit Harade, who are struggling to stop anyone on defense this season. They’ve also had to deal with the Blue Ballers, Call The Doctor, and Birds Of War so far, so if they’re wanting to snap out of their funk, this would be the time. PIT HARADE BY 3

716ERS VS MO’ CHICKEN (+8) - Things don’t get easier for Mo’ Chicken as they get to play the 716ers as well, in the harder game for a doubleheader. 716ERS BY 10

BLUE BALLERS VS WET BANDITS (+7) - On the one hand, this is a battle between two undefeated teams. On the other hand, the Wet Bandits have played the easiest schedule so far, not just in D5, but in the ENTIRE TSL. On top of that, the Blue Ballers currently lead the entire TSL in Points per game with 47.7. These two are not the same. BLUE BALLERS BY 15

D6

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

TMA 22, IRISH GIANTS 15

STICKY LACES 20, SELECT 13

D6 remains impossible to predict. TMA rebounded in a huge way, Sticky Laces continues playing stressful football every single week, and nobody in this division feels safe from anybody else.

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

TMA VS RAW MILKERS (+4) - TMA continues to roll after a tough start to the season, and now they get a Raw Milkers team that continues to be incredibly inconsistent. And I don’t mean that for the season, I mean it for their entire existence. They need to figure it out. TMA BY 7

INTENTIONAL CLOWNING VS RAW MILKERS (+8) - Things don't get easier for the Milk Duds as the circus comes to town. IC has looked good so far in this season, but they’re also just two games in. Upset alert. RAW MILKERS BY 1

IRISH GIANTS VS SELECT (+6) - Select is a pretty good 0-3 team. But they KNOW they can be better. They get an Irish Giants team that’s all over the place with consistency, but I still see the Giants as slight tier higher…for now. IRISH GIANTS BY 4

 

GF vs GPT 

LAST WEEK (Week 4)

AGAINST THE SPREAD

Topper’s Super Computer: 18-11
The Godfather: 15-14

STRAIGHT UP

Topper’s Super Computer: 22-7
The Godfather: 20-9

OVERALL SEASON

AGAINST THE SPREAD

Topper’s Super Computer: 30-23
The Godfather: 25-28

STRAIGHT UP

Topper’s Super Computer: 35-18
The Godfather: 33-20

 

My theory is that if you let skynet win, it’ll be nice to you when it takes over. Also, I clearly would’ve gotten every single rain out right, so I’d be up 8 more wins.

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR SATURDAY

 

• IS THIS THE WEEK THE COOCHIE MONSTERS BECOME D4 FAVORITES? In a word, maybe. I don’t think they’re going to win this week, and that Tater Tots win is nothing to sneeze at. They absolutely can prove me wrong with a big win over Mike’s Detailing, which would then, yes, put them in the driver’s seat. 

 

 

 

• WHO IS ACTUALLY THE BEST TEAM IN D5? D5 has 5 undefeated teams. They also have 4 winless teams. With apologies to the Wet Bandits and the 716ers, it’ll come down to one of the 3-0 teams in the division. All three of Blitzkrieg, Blue Ballers, and Call The Doctor are in the Top 5 for the overall TSL Ranking. At this point, I’d give the nod to Blitzkreig. They can score AND play defense really well and seem to be the total package. Of course, every time I’ve put my faith in them in the past has gone poorly. 

 

 

 

• WHICH UNDEFEATED TEAM IS MOST LIKELY TO LOSE THIS WEEK? Well, I’m not going to count the Wet Bandits in this, since I explained earlier that they were more than likely going to lose this week. I think the answer is ISH. They have two games against two good teams, so they’re bound to lose to one of them. Right? 

 

 

 

• WHAT IS THE MOST SURPRISING THING YOU NEVER WOULD’VE GUESSED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON THAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR? I think if you would’ve told me a month ago that the Wanderers and Practice Squad would’ve played 9 games and will end up a combined 0-8-1 in those games, I’d have had you committed for your own protection. 

 

 

 

• CAN WE SURVIVE ANOTHER RAIN OUT WEEK? YOU probably can, Jeff Krol more than likely can not. With rain in the forecast for another week for you all in Buffalo this week, that marks 3 of the 4 weeks so far this season as “wet”, to say the least. Unless we start playing some makeup games during the week, we may be maxed out in terms of getting everything in (giggity) if it rains again. 

 

TEN FINAL THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY

 

 

• GAMES OF THE WEEK: 

• 10:00 - Sticky Bandits vs The Malones

• 11:00 - BQI vs Bullet Club

• 12:00 - Coochie Monsters vs Mike’s Detailing

• 1:00 - Mavericks vs What A Dump

• 2:00 - ISH vs Two Tuddies

• 3:00 - Eyes Downtown vs Freeballers

 

 

 

• Breakfast Club Predictions: 

• On A Rampaige 37, Total CARnage 24

• Water Under The Bridget 30, Megoonsta’s 28

• Fittsmagic 40, Steph Infection 14

 

 

 

• The Sticky Bandits play a doubleheader this week against Freeballers and The Malones, and who would’ve thought when the season started that it feels like this is harder than next week’s double header against Eyes Downtown and Legends? 

 

 

 

• The brand new article on the TSL website, The TSC (Topper’s Super Computer), is…something else. What did you DO Topper?? Give it a read. Click the link at the top of the page.

 

 

 

•  The Coochie Monsters’ Strength of Schedule so far? .708. The Coochie’s SOS the rest of the season? .750, tied for first in the league with Birds of War. But also, yes, that means they’re the team that didn’t get Show Me Your TD’s on the schedule. 

 

 

 

• Only 37.5% of the games this season have been decided by 10 points or less, which is essentially a 1 score game (8pt Gender TD + 2pt Conversion). 

 

 

 

• BQI, despite having a female QB who is ranked by the committee, is somehow the most underrated team in the league that nobody is paying attention to. How does that happen?

 

 

 

• The Malones really came to play against the Legends last week, and it was good to see them show they belong in D1. It was also good to see the Legends actually get up for a game. 

 

 

 

• Don’t forget you can tune into the TSL podcast each week and hear our players talk about the league and their games! They’re always looking for new guests, so feel free to reach out to Jeff Krol, Joe K, Dorene, Tino, or anyone really, and they’ll point you in the right direction. 

 

 

 

• It’s always hard to believe how fast the TSL season goes by once it gets started. Halfway through? Really? The only good thing about it is that now the games start to matter more, and the teams who are serious contenders will begin to lock in and really take over. We have 6 divisions, and there’s a good chance that most, if not all, of the teams leading them right now will NOT win Immortality. As always, it’s going to be a fun ride.
