Thanks to this, Vasco, finalist of the Copa do Brasil, and Cruzeiro, third in the Brasileirão and semi-finalist of the Copa do Brasil, jumped in the ranking. The Rio team moved up five places and is in the top 10, while the Minas Gerais team moved up 8 places to 11th. Mirassol is the one who gained the most positions in the top 30, with +9.
