Amateur to Professional Developmental Football League

As the APDFL heads into its highly anticipated league-wide bye week, the latest power rankings reflect the fierce competition and strategic play that have defined the season so far. With playoff positioning on the line and every team regrouping, this break could be the turning point for several franchises.

Let’s dive into the updated rankings and where each team stands heading into the second half of the season:

League Power Rankings 

No. 1 - Clarksville Chiefs (4-1)
The Chiefs sit atop the league thanks to a relentless defense and consistent offensive execution. Their only loss came in a season opening nail-biter, and they’ve dominated most of their matchups. They’re setting the bar high—and everyone else is chasing.

No. 2 - Port City Vikings (4-1)
Port City has been making noise all season, matching Clarksville in the win column and showcasing one of the league’s most aggressive defensive fronts. Their intensity and hunger make them a legit title threat in the Western Conference.

No. 3 - Crescent City Kings (3-1)
The Kings remain one of the most well-coached squads in the league. With a veteran roster and a methodical approach, they’re quietly building momentum and peaking at the right time.

No. 4 - Louisiana Huskies (2-1)
Don’t let the record fool you—the Huskies have been a problem for opponents thus far. Despite playing fewer games, they’ve remained disciplined and dangerous. Their second-half schedule will reveal their true ceiling.

No. 5 - Columbus Storm (5-2)
The most battle-tested team so far, Columbus has seen it all. At 5-2, they’ve weathered early bumps and built a reputation for being scrappy and explosive. They’ll be looking to sharpen things up over the break for a strong playoff push.

No. 6 - Panama City Panthers (3-3)
Up and down but never out, the Panthers have shown flashes of brilliance. With a .500 record, they’re right on the edge—but with the talent to surge forward. Consistency will be the key.

No. 7 - Alabama Wardawgs (2-4)
The Wardawgs have struggled to close games, but their physicality and defensive play are improving week by week. If they can iron out the mental errors, they could surprise a few teams down the stretch.

No. 8 - Murfreesboro Tarheels (2-4)
Tied with Alabama, the Tarheels have shown flashes on both sides of the ball. They’ll need to capitalize on the bye week to regroup, get healthy, and find a way to travel in the second half of the season.

No. 9 - Louisiana Tigers (1-4)
Despite a tough start, the Tigers are staying in the fight. Their young core is learning fast, and they’ve been more competitive than their record suggests. Look for growth and potential spoilers ahead.

*No. 10 - The Force (1-5) – Withdrawn
Unfortunately, The Force have withdrawn from the 2025 season. The league thanks the players and staff for their participation and wishes them well in future endeavors.

Final Thoughts

As the APDFL resets during this midseason break, all eyes are on the upcoming matchups and playoff implications. Will the Clarksville Chiefs maintain control? Can Port City or Crescent City leap to the top? Will a dark horse emerge from the middle of the pack?

One thing’s for certain—the second half of the season is shaping up to be unforgettable.

Stay tuned, stay locked in, and remember:
The Future is Now.
