Officials compiled the order using yards per game, scoring averages, and turnover data through the first nine weeks.

Current standings and recent results The top-ranked club opened 4-0 before consecutive home losses, then recorded three straight wins by eight points or fewer. Its quarterback has thrown 15 touchdown passes against one interception. A second club has used three different starting quarterbacks, each producing a 2-1 record in their starts.

The unit ranks first in yards allowed but last in yards per play.

Remaining schedule and playoff picture The league enters its tenth and final regular-season week with three of four playoff spots secured. Two teams still hold a mathematical chance at the last berth. Each club also received a season grade based on the same statistical review used for the rankings.
