2025 Power Rankings 
presented by 

 

With the addition of the new and improved Gulf Coast Conference and the return of two-time WPSL National Champion, Pensacola FC, expect to see some new names in the South Region SouthStar Systems South Region Power Rankings this season, along with some of last season’s top performers. Arlington Soccer Blue takes over the top spot, up one from last year’s final ranking, but will have some competition from 865 Alliance and DECATUR FC, both lying in wait in the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, while Jacksonville Armada FC and UFA Gunners round out the top five, all looking to lay claim to the South Region. 

 

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.
