Week 4 of the GSMU Poll:
Week 4 of the Grassroots Soccer Media Union Poll saw a stabilization of the top 25, with only three teams making a debut this week. Top spot continues to be held on by the Cosmos, who have held it since week one. Orange County FC managed to jump 3 spots into the number 2 spot, getting only a single #1 vote than the Cosmos. Florida Soccer Soldiers slip to number 3 after their loss in the US Open Cup to a USL Championship side.
Biggest movers this week were Brooklyn Italians, jumped 9 spots, and Chattanooga FC, who dropped 9 spots even though they received a first place vote. USL League 2 clubs have climbed the list through the weeks and now 4 are in the top 25, with 5 more receiving votes. While Gulf Coast Premier League had no members make the top 25, 6 clubs did receive votes and AFC Mobile garnered 25 points. Wouldn’t be surprising to see one of those clubs jump into the top 25 soon.
