Gods beat the U Canes like a week ago and they are behind them cuz a loss to the Vampires who are ahead of both? The best team they played other than the Gods is the Incinerators who you have 8th. Makes no sense to me.

1. Strength of win
2. Win/loss
3. Point Differential
4. last 4 games point differential + win loss
5. Strength of Roster
The problem with using these criterion are the last two you have listed. Really the last three, but I'll skip point differential for now. Using the last four games can skew the data based on the strength of schedule the teams are playing at that time. Strength of roster is a misnomer because it is subjective. You can't determine the quality of the builds without seeing them, and even then it is subjective. Not to mention do you go through and look and see which players are inactive? If a player is level 13 but inactive, when did he go inactive? He could be an inflated lvl 4 who has never used his skill points.
You say you use a formula, how do you determine the number for strength of roster? Quality depth, etc?
I am especially intrigued to know how you have Midd-West easily the worst team in the league in either conference (by a whooooooooooooole lot) ahead of a team that has won two games (Sparta)

last 4 games shows the recent power. If they play weak teams it will be a false reading. If there are trades or releaes then that kinda messes it up. The last 4 games can kinda screw you up if you play weak teams and dont score big and if you play strong teams and lose or win small then it does affect you. But everyone plays everyone and at the end of the season it rounds off.

look dude they might only score 1 time but they give up more points than anyone. Tasmania is way behind. And then there is 3-4 next that are close. If you dont like it dont read it.

Fixed. And you might not want to sell your rankings from that angle, at least if the goal is to not have them fall off the first page.
