Best American Pie characters

Steve Stifler wins 68% of his duels and tops the American Pie ranking ahead of Noah Levenstein.

The podium tightens just below Steve Stifler. A 69-point gap separates him from Noah Levenstein at rank 2, but the gap almost vanishes between Levenstein (1291 ELO) and James Emmanuel Levenstein – Jim (1290 ELO), a difference of just 1 point. Paul Finch – Shitbreak and Chris Ostreicher – Oz complete the top 5 with similarly tight scores. Stifler's dominance reflects his outrageous personality and memorable scenes throughout the franchise, while Jim's father Noah claims second place as the voice of awkward wisdom. At the bottom, Chuck Sherman languishes at rank 13 with 1021 ELO and a win rate of 24%, suggesting the community has little patience for the self-proclaimed Sherminator. Victoria Lathum – Vicky and Jessica occupy ranks 11 and 12, rounding out the lower tier.

This ranking draws from 1679 duels across 47 players evaluating 13 contenders from the American Pie universe. The data was updated on 12 October 2026.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
