Is this the official MLS Next Pro table?

No. MLS Next Pro publishes its own standings. Ranked XI is an independent national ranking that places all 30 MLS Next Pro clubs on one scale alongside every other league in the US pyramid, so cross-league comparison is possible.

Why does this not match the MLS Next Pro standings?

Standings measure points won inside one league or conference this season. A Ranked XI rating measures strength on a single national scale, calibrated across tiers on U.S. Open Cup results, so a club can sit high here and mid-table in its own conference.

How many MLS Next Pro clubs are rated?

30 of them, led by Austin FC II at 1684. Clubs whose divisions publish no usable table are listed without a rating rather than being given an invented one.
