I know, I know, you can barely contain your joy. I mean, if it weren't for reading posts authored by me, your lives would be just a meaningless existence interrupted only by meals and sleep...

...so without further ado...

1. FFLW--Surprised me too, I had figured going in Brantford was the team to beat...but by formula FFLW came out ahead.

2. Brantford--You get what you pay for...

3. Newcastle--Despite being 7-0 Newcastle lacks any quality wins (by definition a quality win is a win by 8 or more points against a team that has a .550 or better winning percentage).

4. FFLivewire--The other FFLW team, and best of the one loss teams.

5. Fiji--The sea turtles have come a long way in the past season and a half, and should now be considered one of the top teams in Oceania Pro.

6. Rawle Tech--Continually underrated, Rawle Tech is one of Oceania Pro's elites.

7. West Scranton--Newcomers prove they belong, coming out the gate strong.

8. Brisbane (G)--Inflated early schedule may make for a rough go of it down the stretch...

9. Canberra--Defending Oceania Pro Champs have two early slips...

10 (tie). Emerald City/New England--Came out in a statistical dead even tie for tenth.

Interesting note: Las Vegas, who currently sits at 6-1 came out 16th in the rankings, thanks to a ridiculously soft early schedule. Their first seven opponents are a combined 10-39 (.204 winning percentage).

Expect a late season fall for them much like I predicted last year for Carabao and Aukland (which of course came to pass...).

I noticed the ridiculously easy schedule for the Outlaws a couple days ago. They have played against one team with a winning record thus far and that is their lone loss.

I would agree with these rankings.

Yeah, these rankings look pretty solid. I don't like seeing New England that low, but it's not like we deserve to be any higher. We'll just have to pick it up from here on out.

I think everyone cried about your definition of quality wins last season.

Hopefully there is considerably less crying this time around.

Seems about right for the Gods. We've only have 3 tough games and lost one of them.

Just curious, what is the make up of your formula?
This formula looks pretty solid. The list looks good. I dont see why anyone would have any real significant complaints about it. :thumbsup:


also...

Im not "surprised" FFLW came out #1. If your formula takes into consideration schedule strength, we had some stiff competition early on. Brantford is VERY tough and could easily be #1, but Im not surprised at the outcomes. I honestly believe anyone in this top 10 could win this league with the right gameplans in the playoffs.

Thanks for the work, I look forward to more of these.

Brantfords going to dominate this legaue in a few seasons if they keep it up.

I wish they werent here. I hate the stupid 2 legged horse and all the animated GIFS. No one will be able to beat them.

Many factors..wins, losses, "quality wins", "fluke" losses, strength of schedule, ppgf and ppga against .550+ teams...etc...

Was our week 1 game against the Caninites a "fluke" loss? hehe

Great job as always Ballbright. I was wondering where you went. Though the U Canes are better than their record states. Their D is just plain scary.

I absolutely agree...if this was an opinion poll they'd have made the top ten.
