Alpha Conference Rankings, Pre-Week 8

Formula Warning - rankings are done with the Zeta formulas, which will bias the results towards winners of this week's games as the Zeta Conference has 7 weeks of scores entered and Alpha has just one. This will equalize as time goes on.

1. Sydney Sea Dragons (99.9) - Dominant roster scores on both sides of the ball.

2. Brisbane Blaze (91.2) - Nearly tied Sydney for #1 offense.

3. Illesheim Krauts (85.2) - #2 defense in conference.

4. Newcastle Walabies (83.9) - Rush D holds them back a bit.

5. Florida Parishes Pelicans (79.8) - Only #8th highest roster score, moves up on basis of margin of victory and overall record.

6. Vanuatu Gunslingers (77.3) - True to their name, a passing attack as good as any team in the conference.

7. South Australian Serial Killers (73.5) - Top rushing attack in the conference ironically paired with fragile run defense.

8. Tasmania Devils (69.7) - I suspect this is the team that was most hurt by the margin-of-victory/strength-of-opponent information being limited to just week 7's games.

9. Easter Island Moai (68.9) - They seem to underperform - or perhaps they boosted recently and record does not yet reflect their talent.

10. Solomon Islands Blazers (67.3) - Good passing. Mediocre rushing.

11. Thatto Heath Teeth Smashers! (64.4) - Decent balance on the squad, but a little underpowered compared to the conference. Nevertheless, will meet up with Tonga in league championship game for story purposes, as their #1 WR caught passes from Tonga's starting QB in D Leagues last year.

12. Ohio Valley Ironmen (63.5) - D needs some help.

13. Orgrimmar Horde (55.7) - Well, at least they have a solid kick returner.

14. Newcastle Ghosts (52.4) - Maybe they should move to another city.

15. English Wasps (48.9) - Did I do something wrong? Do they really have the #4 passing roster in the conference?

16. Gainesville Blazing Inferno (34.6) - More like Dante's Inferno. Wow, do they need D help.

Great work Sarg, one edit though

I'm impressed with your foresight, Scace. Didn't know you had it in you.

After Tonga's 10 straight seasons of dominating the Champions League, they might actually lose another game and have to play a scrimmage. Most of us lesser prognosticators would have thought Thatto may not look like Champions League material, but it's good of you to point out that a lot can happen in 13 seasons.

If you think that's crazy, my kicker on Tonga and the kicker on Melbourne (Cristiano Ronaldo) once shared kicking duties for the Virginia Marlins of D-League #6. It's a small GLB world!

And I'm glad Sarg came out with these for Alpha too. Really gives us an indicator of the strength of the other side of the conference we seldom see. And it makes me fret our cross-over game with Illesheim quite a bit more.

Edit: Oops. I knew that

Dude, he's been doing it all season for the Zeta Conf. Stop getting butt hurt over observations! In fact, I was the one who asked him if he'd be willing to do these for our league too. So, be grateful for his effort, say thank you, and run off to catch your bus, before you miss homeroom.

No, it's not that I'm butthurt, but I started playing this game in South American Pro League. I guess I got used to the common respect we have for one another in that league with the exception of the Cobra Kai. It's cool, I'm not trying to start a bitchfest or anything, but the guy could have used a bit more tact in his comments on the teams. Just felt it warranted a response. Next time I'll just keep it to myself. Sorry for the conflict.

Its tongue in cheek and sarcasm - he doesn't mean any team any ill will over the rankings. You just need thicker skin my friend.

Those are two things that unfortunately aren't expressed well with text. Really, I could care less about the comment at this point. It's a game. Let's have some fun.

Awesome - Thanks Sarge!

Thanks for the rankings.

Thanks Sarg, that's very nicely done!

Man, I like it. Lets go gunslingers
