Ranking Summary

Ranking by SI and ESPN replaced by Playoff Preview.

**Bolt-O** · 01-06-2026, 07:27 AM

Rating Summary: Final

My favorite rating is the DVOA, which was pretty weak compared to last season, middle of the pack mostly due to the poor offense. Special Teams also slid pretty badly as well.

**Bolt-O** · 01-06-2026, 07:27 AM

Final seeding:

**Bolt-O** · 01-06-2026, 07:33 AM

Draft order for 1st round:

Playoff teams get placed when they get booted from the playoffs, so a win in the Wild Card will move the Chargers to the #25 seed at best.

**Bolt-O** · 01-06-2026, 01:30 PM

All complete for the week. Probably no more power rankings for this season, I'll post the draft order update here for quick reference.

**Bolt-O** · 01-13-2026, 08:41 AM

After Wild Card Round. Chargers will alternate with Eagles in succeeding rounds at the 23rd lot.
