Coed 1: The Power Rankings – FlagPlus Football League

🥇 Power Ranking #1: The Merge (3-0)

Points For: 110 | Points Against: 67 | Point Diff: +43

The Merge are doing exactly what good teams do — put up points and don’t let you score. They lead the division in both points scored and fewest points allowed, and that’s usually a recipe for sitting pretty in first place.

They’re not just hot this season — they’re also the defending champs, having edged out BanaNiceTry in a 49–46 shootout to win it all last season. This is a team with experience, chemistry, and confidence, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.

They kept most of their core and added a major piece in Jerome Hovington, a true WR1 who gives their already polished offense a new dimension. Their female group is still elite — with Koralie, Marie-Joelle, Sarah-Maude, and (when available) Lory, who hasn’t played yet but could be a difference-maker down the stretch.

The only nit to pick? They’ve only forced one interception through three games. If they can start generating turnovers to match their scoring and defense, they’ll be even harder to beat.

Verdict: The champs are back — deeper, smarter, and looking locked in.

🥈 Power Ranking #2: Lego My Flag (3-0)

Points For: 106 | Points Against: 71 | Point Diff: +35

They may have come up just short last season — losing 49–46 to The Merge in the championship game — but Lego My Flag (formerly BanaNiceTry) are back with a vengeance. And based on how they’ve started, they want that rematch.

Lego is 3-0, tied atop the standings, and their balance is impressive. The offense is humming, thanks in large part to Jeff Rosenblatt, who is efficient with a 132.5 QB rating — and when he’s not available, Paul Lapierre steps in seamlessly with a 130.7 QB rating of his own. The two are combining for insane efficiency, throwing 16 touchdowns to just 1 interception over three games.

Maya Di Fazio is absolutely balling, leading the division at the moment in receiving touchdowns with 6 TDs. On the defensive side, Sanders Armand is the pass deflection king, constantly frustrating opposing QBs with great reads and timely swats.

They also boast a deep and active defense, with players like Audrey Lajoie and Alexandre Szalipszki making plays on the regular. It’s not always flashy, but they grind opponents down and capitalize on mistakes.

Verdict: Revenge-minded and built to go the distance.

🥉 Power Ranking #3: Chat GTD (1-2)

Points For: 101 | Points Against: 111 | Point Diff: -10

The talent on this roster is undeniable. Chat GTD has star power on both sides of the ball — male and female — and when they click, they can light up anyone. But at 1-2, it hasn’t been the cleanest start, and the 111 points allowed is a major red flag given the level of athletes they have.

To be fair, their two losses were tight ones: 26–31 vs The Merge and 32–38 vs Lego My Flag — the top two teams in the rankings. That’s not exactly a bad resume. And they did edge out Plenty of Fish in a 42–43 shootout, proving they can hang in high-pressure moments.

As a new team coming together, some of these growing pains — timing, chemistry, consistency — are understandable. But with AJ Gomes under center throwing 15 TDs, and playmakers like Xavier Couture, Jaylan Greaves, Abigaelle Perrault, and Bakari Barrett making noise, this squad is too talented to stay in the middle of the pack for long.

Verdict: Loaded roster, early struggles — but don’t let the record fool you.

🔢 Power Ranking #4: The IG Team (1-2)

Points For: 100 | Points Against: 101 | Point Diff: -1

The IG Team is one of the biggest wild cards in the division. On paper, they’ve got size, speed, and experience — but with a large roster, consistency might be their biggest challenge. Getting the right lineup at the right time seems to be half the battle.

When Jeanslee Alexis is in at QB, things look sharp. He’s been playing clean football — 10 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD, 0 interceptions, and no sacks allowed through two games. That’s elite level poise. But he missed their most recent game, a lopsided 27–53 loss to The Merge, and that absence alone speaks to the team’s potential instability.

Before that, they dominated Plenty of Fish 46–18 and nearly pulled off an upset against Lego My Flag, losing just 27–30. When they’re all present and locked in, this team can go toe to toe with anyone — the talent is very real. But the results show a team still searching for rhythm and reliability week to week.

Verdict: Dangerous and skilled but only if they all show up.

🔻 Power Ranking #5: Plenty of Fish (1-2)

Points For: 94 | Points Against: 114 | Point Diff: -20

This feels low, and honestly, it is — because based on talent and experience, Plenty of Fish should not be sitting second to last in the Power Rankings. But it’s hard to argue with a 1-2 start and the fact that only four players on the roster have suited up for all three games so far. That kind of inconsistency is tough to overcome, no matter how good you are.

A big storyline this season is Dylan Taylor taking over at quarterback for Maude Lacasse, who remains on the roster but hasn’t appeared yet. Dylan has filled in for Maude in the past and has always looked sharp — and now, as the full-time starter, he’s showing he belongs. 13 TDs and a 95.9 QB rating prove he can sling it, especially when he builds rhythm with his receivers.

The issue isn’t talent — Plenty of Fish has loads of it. The issue is availability and lineup continuity. You can’t build chemistry if the team looks different every week. If they find a steady core this squad could climb fast.

Verdict: Too experienced and too talented to stay this low — but they’ll need stability ASAP.

⬇️ Power Ranking #6: No Pads, No Helmets, Just Ballz (0-3)

Points For: 51 | Points Against: 98 | Point Diff: -47

Let’s be honest — right now, No Pads, No Helmets, Just Ballz are looking like the outliers in Coed 1. With a -47 point differential and the lowest scoring total through three games, it’s fair to question if this squad might be better suited for Coed 2 at the moment — especially with the ongoing availability issues of François Rocheleau, who is one of their proven playmakers.

It’s not just that they’re losing — it’s that the gaps feel wide, both on the scoreboard and in on-field execution. They’ve got some athleticism and hustle, and a couple of bright spots like Bruno Lagacé, but without more consistency and leadership under center, it’s tough to see them competing with the top-tier teams week to week.

Verdict: A team still finding its footing but this could be a development season more than a playoff push.
