Champ Score Updates

Nov 1, 2023

Congrats to the Texas Rangers, who are now the third franchise in a row to win their first championship, ending the 62-year drought that started in 1961 when they joined the MLB. With the Rangers' World Series win, the city of Dallas moves all the way up to #7 on the champ list, and breaks their 11 year and 46 season drought.

Nothing changes at the top of the champ list though, as neither the Dodgers nor Rays had enough of a postseason run to alter the order of #1 and #2. Of note if you think the streak of first-time winners is going to continue for the NFL, then the Super Bowl winner would need to be one of the (roughly in current SB odds): Bills, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Jags, Chargers, Falcons, Vikings, Titans, Texans, Panthers, or Cardinals. The odds get pretty long after the first 6, but certainly a realistic chance for those teams.

Jun 14, 2023

Congrats to the Nuggets, who took 47 seasons to win their first championship, and the Golden Knights, who took 6. With the NBA and NHL seasons ending in back-to-back days, we enter a long gap between the next time the champ score will update, IE the dog days of summer. Thus the leaderboard will remain as follows for quite a while:

Denver creeps into the top 3 with their 3rd title since 2015, and Vegas rounds out the top 10 with their new Stanley Cup. LA remains in the top spot with a little more breathing room as the Lakers playoff run outpaced what the Lightning were able to accomplish. But given that Tampa and Los Angeles both have highly relevant baseball teams, the top spot will likely be very much up for grabs during the MLB playoffs.

Feb 13, 2023

If you want to get into the top 3 sports cities, winning 2 Super Bowls in 4 years is a good way to do it. With the @Chiefs win this year, KC rockets up to the #3 city in our champs rankings, and the city records its all-time high in terms of local team success.

On the other side of the coin, Philadephia now is the only city to lose 3 championship finals (Eagles, Union & Phillies) in the same year – and they've done it twice. But in 1980, Philly offset their 3 losses in championships (76ers, Eagles & Flyers) with a Phillies World Series win, so it wasn't all bad. No such luck in 2022.

Nov 6, 2022

Our last update of 2022 is a consequential one, as due to @LAFC's thrilling MLS Cup victory, Los Angeles has just barely edged ahead of Tampa Bay and taken the top spot in the Champ Score rankings. The razor tight margin will be tested in just a few short months as Tampa Bay and LA teams both try to accumulate more points with a deep run in the NFL playoffs.
