Power Rankings Post-Week 7

1. Vienna Vikings (6-0)

  • Net Differential: +190 (PF 259, PA 69)
  • Trend: —
  • Justification: The Vikings are unstoppable. They travelled to Berlin and crushed Thunder 43-7, showcasing a dominant gap-scheme run game that produced 5 touchdowns (Pajarinen 2, Wiesigstrauch 2, Schütz 1). Ben Holmes was highly efficient (21/29, 258 Yards, 1 TD), and the defense forced 2 interceptions from Jakeb Sullivan. Vienna remains the clear number one.

2. Panthers Wrocław (5-1)

  • Net Differential: +91 (PF 204, PA 113)
  • Trend: Up (▲ 1)
  • Justification: Wrocław climbs to the number two spot after a gritty 38-27 comeback victory against the Paris Lights. Overcoming an early 13-0 deficit, QB [Jameson Wang](/Players/wang_jameson.md led the charge with 4 total touchdowns (3 passing, 1 rushing). Poland's representative is 5-1 and playing at an elite level, earning the slight edge over Rhein Fire due to their active statement win.

3. Rhein Fire (4-1)

  • Net Differential: +99 (PF 174, PA 75)
  • Trend: Down (▼ 1)
  • Justification: Rhein Fire rested on a bye week and drops one spot simply due to Wrocław's active win. They remain one of the most formidable rosters in the league, carrying a massive +99 scoring differential, and they will look to reclaim their ranking in Week 8.

4. Paris Lights (2-3)

  • Net Differential: -21 (PF 90, PA 111)
  • Trend: —
  • Justification: Paris remains at four despite a 38-27 road loss to Wrocław. QB Evan Hillock threw 4 touchdown passes, including three to Florian Larose (highlighted by an 85-yard TD). Paris is highly explosive but struggled to contain Wrocław's multi-faceted offense in the second half. They remain a dangerous team in the postseason race.

5. London Warriors (2-4)

  • Net Differential: -83 (PF 138, PA 221)
  • Trend: Up (▲ 2)
  • Justification: The Warriors are on a roll, climbing two spots after a wild 44-34 shootout victory in Florence. QB [Karé Lyles](/Players/lyles_kare.md threw 3 TD passes (two to Marcus Libman) and ran for another. A 67-yard blocked field goal return TD by Antoine Allwood-Bennett set the tone. London is playing with confidence and showing real offensive growth.

6. Berlin Thunder (2-4)

  • Net Differential: -86 (PF 119, PA 205)
  • Trend: Down (▼ 1)
  • Justification: Berlin drops one spot after getting blown out 43-7 at home by the Vikings. Jakeb Sullivan was held to just 105 passing yards and threw 2 interceptions. Aside from Kai Hunter's 90 rushing yards, Thunder's offense was completely stymied, and their defensive struggles against the run continue.

7. Alpine Rams (1-4)

  • Net Differential: -71 (PF 78, PA 149)
  • Trend: Down (▼ 1)
  • Justification: The Rams rested on a bye week and drop one spot due to London's victory. They sit at 1-4 and need immediate defensive adjustments to turn their season around in the final weeks.

8. Firenze Red Lions (0-5)

  • Net Differential: -119 (PF 83, PA 202)
  • Trend: —
  • Justification: The Red Lions remain at the bottom after falling 44-34 to London at home. While Matthew McKay threw 4 TDs (all to Devin Carter) and ran for a TD, the defense was completely carved up, giving up 44 points. Firenze is now 0-5 and faces a mountain to climb.
