The inaugural UFL season began five weeks ago today.

Already, one of the four playoff spots has been clinched. The Birmingham Stallions cemented a spot in the conference championship game with a 39-21 win over the Memphis Showboats.

Only 5,609 attended the game. The 6-0 Stallions can’t be surpassed by the 1-5 Showboats or the 1-5 Houston Roughnecks, who lost at St. Louis on Saturday. Either could still catch the 3-2 Michigan Panthers. Birmingham won the 2022 and 2023 USFL Championships. In the other conference, the St. Louis Battlehawks are 5-1. San Antonio is 4-1, D.C.

is 2-3, and the Arlington Renegades are a woeful 0-5.
