I just find it interesting that Emerald City - who hadn't been in the top 10 at all up to this point - just moved into 10th after beating a previously 2-7 team 85-0 (not exactly an amazing feat). Of course, Carabao's loss to the Bandits and Auckland's loss to the Sea Turtles likely had far more to do with their moving down (and our inheriting a spot in the top 10 because of it) then our win did on our moving up...

3 of your 4 losses are Q-Losses (losses by one possession to teams above .667 wining percentage). The only team that convincingly beat you was the Canberra Strike. Emerald City is a good team who had a tough schedule...it all adds up.

For anyone interested the worst two teams were Midd-West and Tasmania

Awesome. The Bandits play Midd-West, but we sub starters when we are kicking a team's butt. I want everyone on my roster to participate and gain XP.

Perhaps I should re-think that philosophy to gain the #1 spot.

Nah...we know we are #1 in the hearts of Brisbane fans. And our backups are loyal, more so than other teams due (in part) to our sub settings. I want the entire team to grow, build and win.

not sure the Burning Pride will be able to keep it up. if my memory is correct they have to play #s 1 and 2 on this list

This formula does not take into account scoring margin other than the 7/8 (1-2 possession) point barrier, as it factors into the quality win/loss column.

...was that a sales pitch?

dude u have something against the brisbane bandits. i find it that this so called 'formula' isn't really true what ur going by is the league standings. this is power rankings. brisbane should be on the top man. we have came out of AAA and have been undeafeted since. i actually am saying that AAA was tougher than the pro league. we actually lost a game down there. man just put brisbane in first.

true. theres some serious talent down in triple a. wnning nineteen in a row just aint what it used to be i guess.

Just give them the #1 spot so they will stfu.

I think the Flying Monkeys are going to be a tough team to deal with in the playoffs, They've got some good players.

mortar stop hatin on the bandits.

YEs...it's me who's biased. I who have no stake and could care less, but it's me who's biased...of course, because it couldn't be you being biased, you who is on the Bandits, that thinks they should be rated higher...no of course not...

...and of course, such compelling logic you use to attempt to sway everyone too...

I mean it's not like teams that have better records could actually be atop "power rankings" no, that could never happen.

Now, let me break this down so all of you Bandits personnel can finally get it through your heads...

Congrats on your season so far, but no one here gives a flying fuck about what you did in AAA, and if you think it was tougher there, you're a moron. Let the AAA stuff die, and stand by what you've done here so far.

If you all are still so nostalgic for AAA that you keep bringing it up, I can talk to Bort and see about getting you guys back down there again...

Don't like my formula, don't look at it. Plain and simple. But don't accuse me of bias, especially when you're on the team you're trying to get elevated...it's hypocritical...and makes you look like an even bigger moron than someone suggesting AAA is tougher than Pro...

damn dude i as just sayin triple a had some talent. i appreciate your effort with the rankings.

Thanks Ballbright for all your efforts so far this season to provide an interesting thread to read each 48 hours. Some times i may think teams order is slightly off. But it is your list and not mine so who am i to complain.

I have a lot of respect for people who make the effort to support the community here and if you dont like the order of his rankings and decide to insult him GROW UP! Not like if your 2nd or 3rd or 1000039948th will make any difference in the long run.

All he is trying to do is provide an interesting article. Or should we revert back to Rate my Build,i am super duper mega powerfull team,no your not threads.

I wasn't typing that to you, I was typing to the other idiot. AAA does have some talent...hell there are teams in "A" that could compete here in the pros (Grinnell). What I was driving at is that most people here in the pro's get tired of the bandits constantly touting some irrelevant record from last year, when they have an undefeated one from this season they should be focused on.

I thought I heard this was one of the polls for the BCS.


But this is fun to look at each week. The polls after this next game will be interesting.
