Top teams pulling away in Italian Football League Power Rankings

The Italian Football League has reached its fourth week of action with the top teams beginning to emerge.

The Legnano Frogs three straight wins include a victory over the reigning champion Parma Panthers which is good enough to put them ahead of the unbeaten Firenze Guelfi. Parma and the Ancona Dolphins trail, both with 2-1 records.

Let’s take a look at the rest of the Power Rankings, voted on by the IFL Commission, 

1 Legnano Frogs – 3-0

Although the Frogs were idle this past weekend, their unbeaten record and 24-21 win over the defending champion Parma Panthers the week before keeps them atop the rankings.

2 Firenze Guelfi – 4-0

Firenze has looked impressive with four straight wins in which have averaged 45 points a game. They could easily be ranked #1 as wekk.

3 Parma Panthers – 2-1

The Panthers were surprised by Legnano 24-21 in their last outing hence the #3 spot.

4 Ancona Dolphins – 2-1

Ancona’s only loss came at the hands of the Frogs. They only have to wait for a month to atone in the return matchup and hopefully climb up the rankings.

5 Torino Giaguari – 3-0

Torino’s three wins have come against the winless Marines and Aquile as well as the 1-2 Skorpions who squeaked by the Aquile. Still they are ranked 5th and could climb.

6 Milano Rhinos – 1-2

The Rhinos sole victory was over the lowly Bologna Warriors but it was enough to warrant a 6th place in the list.

7 Ferrara Aquile – 0-3

Although the Aquile have yet to score a win, their 47-30 loss to Firenze in which quarterback Aaron Allen returned from injury and threw 4 TD passes, was impressive enough that it earned them a 7th place in the rankings.

8 Varese Skorpions – 1-2

After winning their opening game against Ferrara, the Skorpions have not looked good losing two in a row by lopsided scores. This was no doubt the reason for their 8th spot.

9 Albisola Pirares – 1-1

The newcomers to the IFL won a game in the top league for the first time ever – 24-17 over the Lazio Marines – and thus earned a 9th place.

10 Bologna Warriors – 1-2

Bologna got a win – 19-14 over the Bergamo Lions – for the first time since May 28, 2023 which bumped them into the 10 spot.

11 Lazio Marines – 0-3

The Marines 24-17 loss to the newly promoted Pirates kept them winless and  in the depths of the rankings.

12 Bergamo Lions – 0-3

Bergamo have a long season ahead of them still and with the loss to the Warriors – former cellar dwellers – sit embedded in the final spot in the rankings.
