Week 11 Power Rankings - Deadline Passed - Next Stop Postseason

1. Barrie Baycats (21-12) – Last Week: 1 
Streak: W2 | Last 10: 8-2 | Games Remaining: 9
The Baycats hold the top spot for the second straight week as the deadline passes with minimal noise. Quiet confidence is the name of the game — Barrie’s lineup is clicking, the arms are sharp, and they look every bit like a club ready to contend for another championship.

2. Welland Jackfish (24-10) – Last Week: 2 
Streak: W1 | Last 10: 6-4 | Games Remaining: 8
The QEW Cup Champions are still swimming at the top, even if the last week brought a few hiccups. Some key roster additions could turn their lineup into a nightmare for opposing teams. The biggest mystery? Why the road feels more treacherous than The Pond. If they solve that, look out.

3. London Majors (21-12) – Last Week: 4 
Streak: W2 | Last 10: 7-3 | Games Remaining: 9
London keeps finding ways to win — it’s not always pretty, but it’s effective. While they didn’t bolster their arms at the deadline, the current group has shown resilience. The question remains: will that be enough come late August as they to play into September

4. Guelph Royals (15-18) – Last Week: 7 
Streak: W4 | Last 10: 5-5 | Games Remaining: 9
It’s a whole new ballclub in Guelph. A revamped roster filled with new arms, familiar faces, and a vibe that screams dark horse. The Royals are hot at the right time and could be the most dangerous team outside the top four.

5. Hamilton Cardinals (17-15) – Last Week: 3 
Streak: L2 | Last 10: 7-3 | Games Remaining: 10
The Cards stood pat at the deadline, opting to ride the wave of their earlier mid-season deals. The pitching has been solid, but inconsistency at the plate reared its head again with tough losses to Barrie and Welland. A playoff spot is safe — but home field? Still up for grabs.

6. Chatham-Kent Barnstormers (17-15) – Last Week: 5 
Streak: L1 | Last 10: 3-7 | Games Remaining: 10
No team was busier than the Barnstormers ahead of the deadline. Now the question is whether those moves can spark a run to secure home field in Round 1. The offense is powerful — but the results haven’t quite matched the potential just yet.

7. Kitchener Panthers (13-21) – Last Week: 6 
Streak: L1 | Last 10: 4-6 | Games Remaining: 8
Mixed messages out of Kitchener at the deadline, but they answered some critics with a gutsy win in London. The road to the postseason is becoming clearer if they can string together a few more upsets.

8. Toronto Maple Leafs (14-19) – Last Week: 8 
Streak: W1 | Last 10: 3-7 | Games Remaining: 9
The Leafs continue to grind with a few bright spots and a veteran presence that could spoil someone’s playoff party. They’ll need to close strong to avoid a bottom-seed matchup, but the pieces for an upset or two are in place.

9. Brantford Red Sox (6-26) – Last Week: 9 
Streak: L9 | Last 10: 1-9 | Games Remaining: 10
The Sox are battling, but the results just haven’t followed. With a playoff berth slipping out of reach, Brantford enters spoiler mode — and you can bet they’d love nothing more than to throw a wrench into someone else’s postseason plans.
