SUPERSERIEN POWER RANKING Week 10
1) Carlstad Crusaders (6-0)
The Crusaders took care of business last week beating the Göteborg Giants 49-21 at home.
With their two remaining regular season games being Örebro and Tyresö, we will see if the reigning champions can protect their flawless record against stiffer competition.
2) Tyresö Royal Crowns (5-1)
Tyresö might currently have the most explosive group of Receivers in the entire league.
The addition of Alpha Jalloh has done wonders to this Royal Crowns t

SuperSerien Power Ranking
1) Carlstad Crusaders (5-0)
The reigning back-to-back champions have asserted their dominance over the league so far, scoring 49,6 points per game while only allowing 11,6 in the process.
To be fair, their schedule to start the season was a rather easy one, already playing all the teams that are expected to be finishing in the bottom half of the table, but they’ve also convincingly beaten both the Örebro Black Knights and Stockholm Mean Machines with 3+ TD margins.

SUPERSERIEN PRE-SEASON POWER RANKING
1. Carlstad Crusaders
The Crusaders are the reigning back-to-back champions and will once more be the frontrunner to bring home the Superserien title. Although there has been some turnover in Carlstad, the Crusaders have recruited a very good class of Imports featuring ELF-Winning Quarterback Jackson Erdmann, RB De’Anta Sipp and Edge Rusher Blake Nelson.
You can only expect the young core of Homegrowns to have taken the next step in their development as well, so the first ga

Superserien Offseason: News You Can Use #3
BLACK KNIGHTS RE-SIGN COACHES MUTIC ANS ISAACSON
The Örebro Black Knights have extended their HC Branko Mutic throughout the 2026 season.
Last year’s Coach of the Year is coming off the back of a stellar campaign that saw the Black Knights compete for the #1 seed up until the final week of the season, where they lost to the eventual champion Carlstad Crusaders.
Mutic, who is also the Offensive Line Coach for the swedish national team and a former Offensive Lineman himself,

Superserien Award Predictions
MVP - Jakub Brezina (ÖBK)
There should be no other option. Jakub Brezina is by far the most valuable player in this league. The Black Knights looked like a completely different team with him and the statistics speak for themselves. 774 rushing yards (1st in the league), 11 rushing TDs (1st in the league), an 82 yard longest run (1st in the league), 0 fumbles and an extra 122 receiving and 265 kick return yards. Nothing short of spectacular...

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! A loss and a Tyresö win could mean a drop all the way to #3 and, in turn, losing precious home field advantage.
1B. Örebro Black Knights (+0.5)
Örebro or Carlstad, that seems to be

Superserien Week 4 Power Rankings
1st. Carlstad Crusaders
In a rematch of last year’s Superserien final, the Crusaders put the hammer down on the Stockholm Mean Machines, outscoring them 49–13! An impressive showing for a team that seems completely unaffected by their narrow CEFL semifinal loss to Thonon. You could pick from a variety of players who stood out for Carlstad, but import RB Tim Schulz deserves a nod, racking up 218 all-purpose yards.

The Black Knights only drop one sp

Superserien Week 2 Power Rankings:
1st. Örebro Black Knights
Another week, another (surprisingly) dominant Örebro performance.
Even though the Black Knights “just” faced the league’s 8th seed, Oslo Vikings, their 52-0 win is nothing short of a real statement victory.
The Black Knights, led by Czech RB Brezina (136 Yards & 1 TD vs. Oslo), are once again a real contender for the Superserien championship.

Superserien Week 2 Power Rankings
1. Örebro Black Knights
The Black Knights have been catching everybody off guard so far sitting at the top of the standings with a 4-1 record after five games.
Head coach Branko Mutic has developed an absolutely lethal rushing offense around E-Import runningback Jakub Brezina (475 Yards & 8 TD) alongside homegrown quarterback Victor Ekberg (819 Yards, 8 TD, 3 INT) and QB turned superstar WR Trevor Vasey.
Defensively the team is led by Swedish national team LB Edvin Jönsson (
