Some big moves, mostly because of strength of schedule.
BIG MOVES UP:
- THe Nancy-Hawk Left-Handed Bowls get spanked, but not as badly as the numbers say they should have, by Cheshire, so they gain 6 spots.
- Gaul Visigoths likewise hold Paris Vikings closer than the math suggests, gaining 5 spots.
- South Yorkshire Scorpions Crush Paris Superbes to move to 5-0 and climb 4 spots.
- Dinwiddie Dustdevils pull a mild upset by a significant margin over Gothenburg Geats, gaining them 3 rankings.
BIG LOSERS:
- Cancun Sharks pay the price for having an off week...oh wait...you mean they actually played Buffalo? Oh...well...that's different then, but the mere 128 point victory (not the worst Buffalo has taken this year), combined with the hit to strength of schedule still knocked them down 6 spots (and yes, I double-checked it).
- Gothenburg Geats lose to Dinwiddie by 25 in a game the math predicted them to win...there's not much the spreadsheet penalizes more than losing a game you're predicted to win (well...other than playing Buffalo and only winning by 128), so they lose 5 ranks.
- Milan Shock lose to the Chutaba clan, drop 5 slots. No witty comment here, sorry.
