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.
107 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team Stewey Maggoos has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
⚔ Head-to-headThey've been 1553 at their best, 51 points above where they sit today — they're arriving at this rating from above.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 5 contests to 5, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-headThey turned up 9 years after Stewey Maggoos did, first appearing in 2022.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with Stewey Maggoos on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 5 contests to 5, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
