Yes....I do use a pretty solid formula for this, and it obviously gets more reliable as you get more games under your belt. However, given that the Bulls are currently 0-3, having scored only 39 points while giving up 122, 15th is about right. I recognize that so far they have had the 5th hardest SOS, but win a game and keep somebody from putting up a ton of points before you complain about where your team is ranked.

** Your next 2 games are against teams that should help both your winning percentage and point spread TREMENDOUSLY, so come back and see if you are happier then.

Ah....why? Because the Death Squad isn't ranked #1? Your team is rock solid, and could easily get back to the top over the next few games, but when you factor in wins & losses, scoring margin, and strength of schedule . . . it puts you guys just a hair behind both the Crusaders and Tarzans. This is a FORMULA that will be reworked after each round of games.

Feel free to come up with your own method of ranking teams and post away . . . this forum could use the activity.

Once we get through the hard part of our schedule (4 of our first 6 are against teams with either 54 overall ratings or undefeateds), we should move up those rankings some.

He's right. Algeria Desert Foxes were looking at a tough start, and knew going into it we'd be bottom-barrel for the first third or so of the season. We'll come back.

The Crusaders are in the exact opposite situation . . . everything looks all sunshine and roses right now, but we hit a serious grind later in the season.

Wow get all pissy if someone makes a correct call. I dont give a shit what we have scored and given up. That still doesnt mean we are the worse than 14 teams in this league. I know that it gets better as it goes and thats how the programs work and i wasnt complaining about it. But your crappy attitude about it blows balls. All i did was ask a question. My team isnt miraculously going to get better over the next 2 games but our ranking will so that shows the flaws in your supposed "Solid forumula"...there is no such thing. . I know how it works so get off your shitty attitude.

MRIGUY is right...

Next time though, be a little nicer instead of just a douchebag defending your shit that nobody was talking shit about until you came off like an ass.

Hmmm....how about you pound sand, you loud-mouthed long-winded piece of shit. See, I can call people names, too. Isn't this fun? Woo hoo !

You came here, having never posted anything else of interest (not that I could find, anyway), and basically didn't say ANYTHING along the lines of "Hey, thanks for actually trying to make this forum more entertaining", etc. Your post came off as you complaining, doing nothing else, and I took exception to it. If that offended you or upset you, I deeply and sincerely apologize. You seemed to be interested in how your team could be in 15th place, so I explained it. If you didn't like my explanation, I honestly don't care.

Nah...I didn't come up with the formula, so I can't change it. It did have your team predicted to win this week by 28, so it's pretty accurate. I was going to post predictions, but didn't want to offend anyone's delicate feelings. LOL.

Nice game, man . . . your team is definitely one to watch out for in this conference.

By the way, Trazer . . . I do apologize for jumping on you if you feel it wasn't justified. But it honestly just annoys the hell out of me when people just expect someone else to do all the work in these leagues, such as power rankings, game writeups, predictions, etc, then wait around to complain about them if they don't think they're right.

And after seeing what you have for the team logo on the Bacolod Ranger team you GM for, I simply can't say anything bad about you. Dammit. Isn't it great how half-naked Brazilian women can bring peace and harmony into any situation?

I don't know......folks get way too upset over nothing. Thanks for taking the time to post that PBer. Maybe it's accurate, and maybe it's not. Trazer, let's just play out the games & see how things turn out. PBer wasn't trying to diss ya.

Oh sure I was....It will be even worse this week when I have Rabat ranked ahead of the Bulls.
