Atlas makes a meek push as Gallos, Bravos slide

9. Santos (+1)

The Guerreros did not play this past weekend so they should be fresh. Coach Guillermo Almada seems poised to make a push up the standings.

10. Querétaro (–2)

The Gallos can’t win on the road and that could see them start to tumble down the rankings. Can’t prop them up simply for overachieving. Results count.

11. Atlas (+3)

The Zorros are playing well since Diego Cocca took over after Matchday 5. They did just enough to get past FC Juárez, moving to 2-2-1 under the new coach.

12. Puebla (–1)

The Camoteros play with a purpose and credit goes to coach Juan Reynoso. The exciting fightback from a 2-goal deficit against Querétaro earned a measure of respect.

13. FC Juárez (–2)

If it weren’t for bad luck, the Bravos would have no luck at all. They simply can’t get any traction and an early own goal was too much to overcome against Atlas.

14.  Tijuana (–1)

The Xolos have missed two games due to a Covid outbreak and it is still not certain that they’ll be cleared to resume their schedule just yet.

15. Mazatlán FC (—)

It is entirely reasonable to question Paco Palencia’s line-up decisions. This team has talent, but the coach seems to be enthralled with a few players who are not producing while benching a couple that have been productive.

16. Toluca (—)

The Diablos are somehow still in the playoff hunt despite going winless in September. Tenth in the league standings, but these Power Rankings reflect their performance more accurately. And now they are looking for a coach.

17. Atlético de San Luis (—)

Coach “Memo” Vázquez appears to be playing out the string, fully aware that he’d have been fired for now if not for the hefty severance package he’d be owed.

18. Necaxa (—)

The Rayos look like a poorly coached team that lacks confidence in its own ability … and with reason.
