Week 3 of the Pinoyliga Power Rankings has shown the consistency of the top basketball programs in the country as the top tier continues to hold the high spots, while below them showed some minor changes, along with the entry of new teams that could make significant developments in the field.


Standing tall at the summit is the San Beda University Red Lions, who have shown their consistency and composure in the games they have played. Not far behind them is the De La Salle University Green Archers, who recently won their 4th straight UAAP 3x3 title behind tournament MVP Luis Pablo. 


The University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons maintained their third-place hold after a title conquest in the PUBL against the College of St. Benilde Blazers.


The NU Bulldogs have alerted the competition with their consistency, winning consecutive games in the UBELT Cup and NSAC, showing there is life after Jake Figueroa and Steve Nash Enriquez.


UST Growling Tigers round up the Top 5 as their week ended with a win against the OLFU Phoenix.


Moving up by a notch is the JRU Heavy Bombers, who, like the NU squad, have turned heads around with their winning streak lately.


The EAC Generals have built enough strength lately to push themselves to 11th, while the Adamson Falcons fell with back-to-back losses against NCAA squads


The recently crowned UCAL kings, CEU Scorpions, remained at 13 after a championship win in MNCAA.


The University of Cebu Webmasters is in 21st spot after ruling the Moalboal Commercial Fiesta League behind the leadership of Ricofer Sordilla and Mavs Eligoyo.


Meanwhile, the NCAA South finalists LPU Batangas and San Pablo College have moved up in the rankings, indicating steady progress for their respective programs.


This week has shown the entry to the rankings of Enderun Colleges Titans and 2 teams in NCRAA in BCP Kalasag and Immaculada Concepcion College Blue Hawks, which would mean that a lot of teams have made their noise and wanted a much-deserved attention to their exploits.


As 2026 goes to its fifth month, the teams in the mid and lower part of the rankings have started to build momentum, and if this continues, expect some shake-up soon.
