Superserien Week 11 Power Rankings
1A. Carlstad Crusaders (-)
With a dominant 49-0 victory, the Crusaders have sent the Limhamn Griffins into the offseason. The reigning champions seem to only have gotten stronger over the course of the season and will now face the Örebro Black Knights for the #1 seed in the playoffs. But careful!

1B. Örebro Black Knights (+0.5)
