Rank	Team	Change	Summary
1	Greenville Triumph SC (11-7-7) Week 26: W, 3-1 TOR Week 27: @TUC, ORL	2 Last Week: 3	Back-to-back wins have put Greenville in with a chance at second place, but first it will look to lock up a playoff place on Tuesday night in Tucson.
2	Lansing Ignite FC (12-5-10) Week 26: T, 1-1 TRM Week 27: --	1 Last Week: 1	Ignite FC will have to sit and watch Triumph SC this week after being held at home by South Georgia in its penultimate game of the regular season.
3	Forward Madison FC (11-9-6) Week 26: W, 1-0 NTX Week 27: @TUC	1 Last Week: 4	The pressure was on Madison to come through in its home finale against North Texas, now it knows one win in its final two games will be enough for a place in the playoffs.
4	North Texas SC (16-6-5) Week 26: L, 0-1 @MAD Week 27: --	2 Last Week: 2	NTSC hasn’t got anything left to play for in the regular season, but you’d imagine a rematch with Madison would be one they’d welcome on their home turf on October 12.
5	Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (9-8-9) Week 26: W, 2-1 ORL Week 27: RIC	1 Last Week: 6	The Red Wolves got the first win of the three-game home sweep they need, but they need one of Greenville or Madison to slip up and give them an opening.
6	Richmond Kickers (8-12-5) Week 26: T, 0-0 @TUC Week 27: @CHT	1 Last Week: 5	The Kickers were officially eliminated in Saturday’s draw against Tucson, but they did some serious damage to their host’s chances at a playoff place in the process.
7	South Georgia Tormenta FC (8-8-10) Week 26: T, 1-1 @LAN Week 27: @TOR	Last Week: 7	Tormenta FC earned a result on the road against Lansing, but the playoffs do not appear to be on the cards for the early-season frontrunner.
8	FC Tucson (8-9-8) Week 26: T, 0-0 RIC Week 27: GVL, MAD	Last Week: 8	Tucson is now in the same situation as Chattanooga in needing to win out, and it gets both third-place Greenville and fourth-place Madison on its home turf this week.
9	Toronto FC II (7-10-8) Week 26: L, 1-3 @GVL Week 27: TRM	Last Week: 9	TFC II’s goal against Greenville was nice, but there wasn’t much else to write home about as the Reds were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss.
10	Orlando City B (3-19-4) Week 26: L, 1-2 @CHT Week 27: @GVL	Last Week: 10	Another night, another loss and more poor discipline for OCB, which is tied for the league-lead with six dismissals and sitting second with 62 cautions this campaign.
