The Pecking Order Week 7, 2026

Tombstones Climb to No. 1 as Razerbacks and Barracudas Heat Up

I'm told the Tombstones have vaulted all the way to the top of The Pecking Order, jumping 11 spots after posting the highest score in the league this week. Boom. League sources tell me this is a team that's been waiting for its moment, and a 4-2 mark over the last three weeks shows it's no fluke.

  1. 1

    Tombstones 10-4

    Up 11

    Tombstones jump 11 spots to No. 1 with a 77.8% all-play mark and a 2-game winning streak, and they just dropped 220.54 points, the highest score in the league this week.

    77.8% all-play 181.6 PPG, last three weeks

  2. 2

    Razerbacks 12-2

    Up 3

    Razerbacks hold steady at No. 2 with a 77.0% all-play mark and a 10-game winning streak, going 6-0 over the last three weeks. Money is nice, but championships are better, and this team looks built for both.

    77.0% all-play 163.3 PPG, last three weeks

  3. 3

    Barracudas 11-3

    Up 10

    Barracudas surge 10 spots to No. 3 on a 6-0 run over the last three weeks and a 6-game winning streak, averaging 173.6 points over that span.

    69.8% all-play 173.6 PPG, last three weeks

  4. 4

    Kraken 8-6

    Up 3

    Kraken climb to No. 4 with a 6-0 record over the last three weeks and an 8-game winning streak, averaging 180.6 PPG over that stretch. Scary team to face right now.

    63.4% all-play 180.6 PPG, last three weeks

  5. 5

    Demons 9-5

    Down 3

    Demons slip three spots to No. 5 despite a 72.6% all-play mark and a 5-1 mark over the last three weeks. Still a 5-game winning streak, so this slide is about the competition, not the roster.

    72.6% all-play 165.3 PPG, last three weeks

  6. 6

    Chickens 11-3

    Down 5

    Chickens fall five spots to No. 6 after holding the No. 1 spot, but an 11-game winning streak and a 6-0 run over the last three weeks says this team is far from finished.

    66.2% all-play 171.1 PPG, last three weeks

  7. 7

    Monkeys 12-2

    Up 12

    Monkeys rocket up 12 spots to No. 7 with a 6-0 run over the last three weeks and a 7-game winning streak. They face the No. 3 Barracudas next week, and that's a huge test.

    65.9% all-play 168.9 PPG, last three weeks

  8. 8

    Yeti's 9-5

    Down 2

    Yeti's drop two spots to No. 8 with a 69.8% all-play mark, though a 4-2 record over the last three weeks shows they're still dangerous.

    69.8% all-play 158.7 PPG, last three weeks

  9. 9

    Hurricanes 9-5

    Down 6

    Hurricanes tumble six spots to No. 9 despite a 5-1 mark over the last three weeks and a 65.2% all-play mark. Sources say they need to find a rhythm fast.

    65.2% all-play 164.8 PPG, last three weeks

  10. 10

    RailRoaders 9-5

    Up 4

    RailRoaders climb four spots to No. 10 on a 6-0 run over the last three weeks and a 6-game winning streak, though their 149.8 PPG over that span is worth watching.

    69.5% all-play 149.8 PPG, last three weeks

  11. 11

    Cellmates 11-3

    Down 7

    Cellmates fall seven spots to No. 11 after a 5-1 mark over the last three weeks, with a 67.6% all-play mark keeping them in the top 12.

    67.6% all-play 152.9 PPG, last three weeks

  12. 12

    Nemesis 9-5

    Up 9

    Nemesis surge nine spots to No. 12 with a 3-game winning streak and a 4-2 record over the last three weeks. Boom, this team is coming alive.

    67.3% all-play 150.7 PPG, last three weeks

  13. 13

    Monsters 10-4

    Down 3

    Monsters slip three spots to No. 13 after going 2-4 over the last three weeks, though their 71.4% all-play mark shows the talent is still there.

    71.4% all-play 141.4 PPG, last three weeks

  14. 14

    Chargers 8-6

    Up 12

    Chargers rocket up 12 spots to No. 14 on a 2-game winning streak and a 4-2 record over the last three weeks, averaging 164.4 PPG over that span.

    56.1% all-play 164.4 PPG, last three weeks

  15. 15

    SnakeEyes 7-7

    Down 7

    SnakeEyes slide seven spots to No. 15 with a 3-game losing streak and a 2-4 record over the last three weeks. League sources tell me they need to stop the bleeding.

    61.8% all-play 154.2 PPG, last three weeks

  16. 16

    Spiders 9-5

    Up 7

    Spiders climb seven spots to No. 16 with a 4-2 record over the last three weeks and a 61.2% all-play mark, quietly building momentum.

    Hoosiers 12-2

    Down 2

    Hoosiers slip two spots to No. 17 despite a 5-game winning streak and a 5-1 mark over the last three weeks. Still a top-20 team on paper.

  18. 18

    Dawgs 7-7

    Up 23

    Dawgs jump 23 spots to No. 18 after a huge climb, though a 2-4 record over the last three weeks means the work isn't done.

    60.8% all-play 152.2 PPG, last three weeks

  19. 19

    Badgers 8-6

    Down 10

    Badgers fall 10 spots to No. 19 with a 3-game losing streak and a 3-3 mark over the last three weeks, averaging 139.9 PPG over that span.

    Mafia 10-4

    Up 22

    Mafia surge 22 spots to No. 21 with a 6-game winning streak and a 6-0 run over the last three weeks. Sources say this is one of the hottest teams in the league right now.

    57.4% all-play 154.4 PPG, last three weeks

  22. 22

    Bombers 8-6

    Up 5
