If you are going by the top tier in each level then i will take a stab at it.
1. MLS
2.Ecnl
3. Coast Premier
4. scdsl flight 1
5. elite academy
6. ecrl
7. presidio
 
coast bronze, silver is pretty weak lets be honest. Trying to compare apples to apples

My first thought was that I was going to respond was that there is a lot of overlap, year to year, week t week (back when we had weekly games), team to team. But your (Premier only) exception makes it look like you already know the answer you are looking for.

It’s nearly impossible to rank these leagues except putting ECNL & MLS Academy at the top since the top players will gravitate to those leagues. Also since ECRL & EA League are new we cannot rank anything yet. The boys pyramid is only up and down within their respective organizations (USYS, USYS, etc). Coast Premier, SCDSL Discovery & Presidio’s SDDA brackets should in theory be under the closed leagues but I think the FC Golden State Brazilians that always win the U19/20 Premier Division in Coast very year could probably defeat most of the teams in the closed leagues.

you can rank any league, even if they haven't started yet, by knowing clubs/teams participating in it.
 
Seems you could look up the YSR score of each team in each league, and rank the leagues by average YSR score.

It doesn't work so well for ex-DA teams, but works fine for everyone else.

Not that it matters. But if you need a score it's easy enough to make one.
 
1. MLS Academy
2. ECNL
3. CRL
3. SCDSL Discovery
4. CSL Premier
5. Elite Academy
6. ECRL
What is an Elite Academy? I’m actually joking but that isn’t even running and most teams are out of flight 1/gold.

as mentioned, doesn’t matter at this point and teams are being combine or dropped at most clubs. older kids playing with friends or just had time to reflect on enjoying other things in life
 
Is the Elite Academy the non-MLS clubs in the league? So only LAFC and Galaxy are MLS Academy?

No. All the teams in the MLS League are in the same league (just like the DA league). In theory, MLS Academy teams will play fewer games against non-MLS teams in the league at U15 and U17, but this year is kind of a lost year so who knows. The non-MLS teams in the league are all former DA teams (and they’re all practicing now, unlike the MLS academies, which are being restricted by MLS itself)

The Elite Academy League has three clubs not in the MLS league and some of their teams were or would have been CRL, Premier, Discovery level this year. The other teams are second teams to the teams in the MLS league in their club. Some also would have been top CSL/SCDSL teams this year (esp TFA’s teams), but others are far lower quality.

YSR is HIGHLY inaccurate when it comes to older teams (14 yo +) .... this is because it rewards blowouts way too much so if you play regularly vs weak opponents in league you are ranked way higher than you should be..... this is 100 percent true for the girls teams so I am assuming the same for the boys as it is the same algorithm but my son no longer plays (baseball full time) so can't say for sure for boys teams
