The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
147 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
2 contests in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team SUPPERTIME has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
⚔ Head-to-headFewer contests behind them than SUPPERTIME has cooked, 5 to 8, which makes theirs the less settled rating of the two.
⚔ Head-to-head5 straight overall top-10s says this rating is a moving target.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with SUPPERTIME on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headThis is the highest they've ever been rated, 8 rated contests in — a team sitting at its own career peak.
⚔ Head-to-headBoth teams' first contest in the data came in 2013.
