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.
96 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
These two have cooked 3 of the same contests — QUISINE ahead 2–1 — so there's a record behind this pairing and not just a matching number.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 7 contests to 7, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-headThey turned up 8 years after Whiskey Friday BBQ did, first appearing in 2022.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with Whiskey Friday BBQ on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headTheir last contest in the data was back in 2015, 7 years before Whiskey Friday BBQ's most recent — their rating stopped moving when they stopped cooking.
⚔ Head-to-headThis is the highest they've ever been rated, 8 rated contests in — a team sitting at its own career peak.
