Rank	Team	Change	Summary
1	Forward Madison FC (12-9-7) Week 28: W, 1-0 @LAN Semifinals: @NTX	2 Last Week: 3	The Flamingos came through with a clutch road performance to seal their place in the playoffs against Lansing. Can they do the same thing this Saturday in North Texas?
2	North Texas SC (17-6-5) Week 28: W, 3-1 @TUC Semifinals: MAD	3 Last Week: 5	NTSC’s season-ending victory showed it back to its best ahead of the playoffs, even without its Golden Boot winner. Now the chance to take postseason glory arrives.
3	Lansing Ignite FC (12-6-10) Week 28: L, 0-1 MAD Semifinals: GVL	2 Last Week: 1	Lansing had to have been nervous when Greenville took the lead Saturday night, but they’ll get a chance at redemption in front of their home fans in the Semifinals.
4	Greenville Triumph SC (12-9-7) Week 28: L, 1-3 @TRM Semifinals: @LAN	2 Last Week: 2	Back-to-back defeats were not the way Triumph SC would have hoped to enter the playoffs, especially after letting a chance at the No. 2 slip away on Saturday night.
5	South Georgia Tormenta FC (9-9-10) Week 28: W, 3-1 GVL	5 Last Week: 10	It might be little consolation to not being in the playoffs but pulling out a win against your biggest rival to end Year 1 had to feel good in the moment for Tormenta FC.
6	Toronto FC II (9-10-9) Week 28: W, 2-1 @RIC, T, 1-1 @CHT	Last Week: 6	Ten points from the final five games of the season saw TFC II’s kick for the playoffs arrive too late, but there’s potential to build on here.
7	Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (10-8-10) Week 28: T, 1-1 TOR	3 Last Week: 4	The Red Wolves knew the playoffs were out of reach before they kicked off against Toronto but were unable to treat their fans to one final home win in 2019.
8	Richmond Kickers (9-14-5) Week 28: L, 1-2 TOR, W, 2-0 ORL	1 Last Week: 7	Braeden Troyer walked into the sunset after 128 league games over five seasons for the Kickers and got to depart a winner thanks to the Kickers’ victory against Orlando.
9	Orlando City B (4-20-4) Week 28: L, 0-2 @RIC	Last Week: 9	Finishing with half the points of the ninth-place finisher is definitely not the end to the season OCB had envisioned when this all kicked off in March.
10	FC Tucson (8-11-9) Week 28: L, 1-3 NTX	2 Last Week: 8	Tucson was the lone League One side to not take a victory after September 1 having entered the month with a shot at the postseason.
