S153 Power Rankings through 15 games!
What’s up Franchiseball Fans,
Welcome to the first edition of the Season 153 rankings! It’s hard to believe, but we are 25% of the way through the season! As we look to crown a new winner this year, it’s crazy to sit back & reflect that Franchiseball is in its 12th year as an online simulator.
It’s been a long time, with plenty of teams that have came & went, but there are some franchises that have come to build dynasties. With established clubhouses with the likes of the Bombers, Reds, NYMets, and Deadly Sins, they’ve all been an integral part of helping make this sim into what it is today. Many more teams are vying to accomplish just that this season, following in their footsteps for glory & prestige.
With that being said, here's our top 25 squads and honorable mentions headed into the ¼ mark of the season.
