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.
148 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
This is the highest they've ever been rated, 12 rated contests in — a team sitting at its own career peak.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 13 contests to 12, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-head13 contests and no Grand Championship yet — a rating made of 15% top-10 finishes rather than wins.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with D'S SMOKEHOUSE on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 11 contests to 12, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 14 contests to 12, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
