These are only based off of the results of today's games, overall talent, chemistry, and strength of schedule. I put together a funky algorithm and tested it and it seems pretty fair. If you don't like it, then win more games. If you love it then it's probably because you're near the top. There are some pretty bad predictions (like with Bronx and British Columbia), but I didn't have time to really dig into the algorithm and fix it beyond what it is. The stupid scoring margin makes it tough. Playing against VASTLY inferior opponents screws everything up pretty badly. I may try to get an easier thing going for the rest of the season, but I doubt I'll have time. Just thought I'd feed some forum chatter:

1. Houston Cougars
2. Lincoln Freedom Warriors
3. Big Whiskey Assassins
4. Teikoku Alexanders
5. Houston Armageddon
6. Texas Tarheels
7. Mudville Bombers
8. Springfield Patriots
9. INYA ONYA
10. Oregon Orangutans
11. Florida BeachdogZ
12. Columbus South Caralackey's
13. Big Money Dynasty
14. Cuban Raft Riders
15. Lynchburg Lightning
16. Minnesota Eagles
17. Nic Cage 4-Ever <3
18. Port Moody PAIN
19. San Jose Skyforce
20. Knights of the Dark Realm
21. British Columbia Beasters
22. Austin Wineswilling Fancy Boys
23. Victoria Teabaggers
24. Atlanta Dogs of War
25. Richmond Empire
26. Phoenix Scorpions
27. Texas Presidents
28. Alamo City Souljahs
29. Bronx Blag Flag
30. Frostburg Bobcats
31. Kaiser Cougars
32. Austin Alcoholics

I agree. I actually think Mudville is prolly in the Western Conference top 2 or 3. But this partially is based off how badly you beat a team. Since you played a pretty good team, your margin of victory was lower than some folks that drubbed some of the less talented teams. I have yet to tell it to account for a 44 - 0 blowout of a playoff team. It certainly was impressive. I have a SoS factor in there, but it's too early for that to really be effective methinks.

Thanks for the welcome guys! While we'll put that #19 ranking to shame, I finally got around to updating our gameplan for Frostburg and the results showed pretty well.

I'm still pretty ashamed I didn't have everything quite up to snuff against the Tarheels, though you guys were going to be tough to handle regardless.

Well Lynchburg. I am not sure that 19 isn't terrible for you guys. I mean you let Alamo city put 50 up on you. I advise you get your defense in tact before you claim to be ranked higher...
