𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓

This ranking covers results from our tracked leagues from 8/29/2025 - 11/19/2025.

100+ programs. 6 leagues. 937 games analyzed. Updated weekly as the season unfolds.

Full methodology linked below. The biggest jump came way of @CSUVikes_GG cruising through the @GLEC_GG playoff LAN bracket without dropping a game.

@GopherEsports made a large leap as well by taking down then #11 Washington and HM Kansas in what is now a 5 series winning streak.

Similar to West Virginia last week, returning to the TechChase 25 this week is @NorthwoodEsport . The Timberwolves competed at the River City Invitational this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI.

𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍

This ranking covers results from our tracked leagues from 8/29/2025 - 11/11/2025.

100+ programs. 6 leagues. 851 games analyzed. Updated weekly as the season unfolds.

Full methodology linked below.

Most notable projected matches this upcoming week:

[ @BigEsportsConf ] HM @UMichEsports vs #5 @EsportsAtMSU - Classic 125-year rivalry dating back to 1896. Michigan State Smash remains undefeated, although the Wolverines have kept recent regular-season faceoffs close.

[@TechChaseGG OOCS] #8 @RutgersEsports vs #10 @Cuse_Esports - The Scarlet Knights will need to justify their initial placement by securing a win against Syracuse in Thursday's Out-of-Conference match.

[ @NACEsports ] #6 @OaklandEsports vs #7 @SBUEsports - a modern classic of a matchup as the Golden Grizzlies look for their first-ever win against Stony Brook.

[ @BigEsportsConf ] #11 @UofWAesports vs #14 @GopherEsports - The Huskies, led by @embo_z , put up strong individual performances at supermajor @PortPriority , but there’s no break ahead - Washington now faces a Gopher squad that nearly toppled Michigan State last week.

[ @GLEC_GG ] Playoffs begin tomorrow, and will include notable teams like #23 @MU_esport , #24 @IWUEsports , and #16 @CSUVikes_GG , among others.
