How it works

Every Tuesday, once the week's power rankings have been published, the aggregator finds each outlet's new article, reads all 32 teams out of it, and averages the ranks. A team's Superpower Score is that average — lower is better. Ties break on median rank, then on a team's single best ranking.

A source is only counted when a complete, duplicate-free 1–32 ranking can be read out of its article. Anything short of that is left out of the average for the week and listed below, so the score is never built on a half-parsed list.

No. 1 overall
