Those rankings are crap. The Chengdu Vipers have beaten 3 of the teams that are ahead of us (#6 Barfines, #9 Dogs, #11 Happy Endings), AND we have better records than those teams. We only have 3 losses, with 2 of those coming to the Pornos and the Leathernecks. We should be #6, not #13.

Agreed. And the Barfines have no right to be up so high. They are ranked above every team they lost to (Davao, Chengdu, and Johor Bahru) in this list. Their best win is to a #11 team (Ho Chi Minh). Barfines should be more like 12!

dooo I heeerrr crying!!!

sniff --- I'm sorry we're ranked higher than you --- sniff

we stomped Moscow and you were shut out by em --- why shouldn't we be ranked where we are - beat who we were supposed to beat and haven't been upset

Barnfires are rated way too high... 7-3 and they think they should be up there? Yea right.

They will get beat in the 1st or 2nd Round, so it doesn't really matter...

Why do these rankings not make sense? Simple they put too much weight into score lines, especially with a sim engine that sees repeated blow outs, team a beats team z 50-0, team b beats team z 100-0, that just break things IMO.

I think this power ranking system is not much better than the standings table. No disrespect to RayRay, but I think a new methodology is required, there are a few systems out there which may help.

Nobody puts the Barfines in a corner!

Oops!

Methinks the Davao Dogs might not be #6 this week...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (thats LAUGHING, not crying in case you can't tell)..... excuse me, scratch my last comment. Barfines, definitely do not belong in 12th place, sorry!!!! Lost to a Maui team we easily took down. (since you want to compare losses)

And with Okinawa next week and Pornos still later in the season. Not to mention a Ujung team that stuck it out with Okinawa, and a Buffalo team that beat the Dogs this week and played good ball with Okinawa last week.....
good luck MAKING the playoffs!!!

Yeah thats a tough schedule the barfines have left.... they lose to the warriors or buffalo and they arent doing jack but playing golf come playoff time. Even winning them might not be enough heh.

Oh yeah. Thanks for letting us keep up Okinawa! Great game to watch.

I don't know about you guys, but it looked like Maui made some big roster
moves right before we played them. There's not a lot of teams in Alpha
they can't play with.

Seems like their chemistry would be lower if they did that. Anyhow, we'll see how for real they are next game, I guess.

Sometimes it only takes a couple high level players here and there to make
a difference. Especially if they show up on the defensive line.

I only really care about the defensive sides of the ball when I look
at other teams, here are two notable and very important acquisitions
for Maui.

Hawaiian By Injection (NT 17) joined Maui for game 6,
Fear me or feel my butu (LOLB 17) joined Maui for game 6

Maui's game 6 was versus 69 Mafia.
06/23/2008 at 69Mafia W 41-0
06/25/2008 Moscow Polar Bears L 2-20
06/27/2008 Buffalo Rampage W 12-0
06/29/2008 at Okinawa Leathernecks L 3-37
07/01/2008 Ujung Pandang Warriors W 10-6
07/03/2008 at Bangkok Barfines W 24-6

They've gone on to beat Bangkok and Buffalo,
lost to Moscow and Okinawa.

I knew they looked better than their record when we scouted them. That makes me feel a little better about that loss.
