Howie's 50 Yard Football Power Rankings

As of Thursday, April 30

Table of Contents

Our latest 50 Yard Football Top 20 Power Rankings blendsteams from the IFL and Arena Football One. The IFL holds the top three spots with the kind of authority you’d expect from a league that has spent years building stability, depth and, maybe most important, credibility.

Green Bay (5-1) sits at No. 1. The Blizzard have been the most complete team in indoor/arena football.

Vegas follows (4-1) at No. 2, continuing to validate itself as more than a contender on paper. Fishers (5-1) at No. 3 rounds out a top tier that feels, at least for now, like it belongs to one league.

Then comes the disruption.

Kentucky, at No. 4, is the highest-ranked AF1 team — has forced its way into the conversation, giving AF1 something it desperately needs: legitimacy beyond press releases and growth charts.

Arizona (4-1) at No. 5 and San Diego (4-1) at No. 6 steady things again for the IFL.

But the middle of this ranking — spots 7 through 12 — is where the real story lives.

No. 7 Nashville (2-0) and No. 9 Albany (3-0) give AF1 a pulse. No. 11 Minnesota (2-1) keeps it from being dismissed.

Still, the IFL isn’t giving ground easily. No. 8 Jacksonville (2-1-1), No. 10 Orlando (3-2) and No. 12 Quad City (2-3-1) sit in the middle of that mix.

Tulsa at No. 13 remains steady. No. 14 Oregon (1-3) and No. 16 Michigan (0-3) represent the next wave of AF1 teams trying to prove they belong in more than just the conversation.

IFL clubs No. 17 San Antonio (1-3), No. 18 New Mexico (1-4), No. 19 Northern Arizona (0-5) and No. 20 Tucson (2-3) round out the list.
