2025 Power Rankings 
presented by 

 

 

The gauntlet that is the regular season for Central Region clubs makes predicting which teams will come out the other end on top just as difficult as surviving the grueling Central Region schedule. Salvo SC, which was heartbreakingly eliminated from the postseason in its final regular season game of 2024, starts out 2025 on top of the Central Region polls, but without its leading scorer the past two seasons. No. 2 FC Milwaukee Torrent could very well keep Slavo from the Central Region Playoffs for a second straight year. No. 3 Colorado Pride and No. 4 Utah Surf both have a lot of work in front of them if they hope to meet in the Mountain Conference final in July. 

 

Rankings are compiled by Canadian-based RankR, featuring the Elo Ranking System, based on record, goals for and against, match location, relative strength of opponent, and playoff matches. To avoid any subjective or biased influence, human voting is not part of the Elo Ranking System process.

 

The next round of rankings will be published the week of May 19-23 after the second match week has concluded, then will be released weekly through the duration of the regular season.
