Warrior General Games

Buffalo under CAROLINA after beating them head to head? C'mon. This isn't the BCS. Also 1 win > 0

Why are you hating on the Badasses, man? All we ever did was job to you fine folks.

After bouncing all over your rankings the first few weeks, I think you've got the Demonik about where we belong.

nah, i'd rather make y'all guess come playoff time, if you guys make it all the way and we don't, i promise we'll throw a scrim your way.

we really don't like inter-league scrimmages.

Sounds like they are more scared than anything. ha ha. A scrimmage is harmless.

They used to like it

with Atlantis above us..... doubtful... but I like the idea of us being underdogs in a lot of our games

True philly should be above us in the rankings currently. But I honestly do not see how a 2-2 chicago team is 5th either. Our opponents are .500 or better all of them so strength of schedule will even it out a little. Grand Haven 3-1 (lost to atlantis) philly 3-1 (beat atlantis by 3) chicago 2-2 (getting chem back) brooklyn 2-2 (seems to be a playoff bound team towards the bottom). So Atlantis is 2-2 losing once by 3 and another time to "The Merger". Our opponents are 10-6. Pretty strong schedule so far. So philly does deserve to be higher than us. But I am not sure why we would drop 2 spots when 5 beats 6 according to rankings. we should have lost right? Dawg if you want to bump philly up above us 1 spot.

Travis-

It's pretty easy to rank Chi-Town 5th. Thunder's two losses are to team that are a combined 8-0, teams that are ranked number one and number 2 in their respective conference. Thunders wins are against solid teams that are 5-3, for total of 13-3 opponent record.

Philly beat Atlantis, Chicago destroyed Philly and Atlantis.

So the pecking order HAS to be Chi-Philly-Atlantis.

Now it gets complicated, Grand Haven has three good wins, but loses to Atlantis.
San Diego is 3-1, but lost to Grand Haven.
Roswell is 4-0, but hasn't really played anyone yet.

So Roswell is easy to seed at 4, but its more of a wait and see ranking. I think we(Chicago) have done well against a ridiculous schedule, so i put them 5th. Philly and Atlantis come after, but where to stick Grand Haven?

Got to put them behind chicago, because chicago already beat the team they lost to and also above San Diego, after a 24-12 win.

So it works out to:

4. Roswell
5. Chicago
6. Grand Haven
7. San Deigo
8. Atlantis
9. Philadelphia

I think, in the whole grand scheme of things this is pretty accurate. We'll see what roswell doesn't against good competition, but i think its pretty fair, considering everyone has beaten everyone.

4. Roswell(Hasnt Lost)
5. Chicago (Beat Philadelphia and Atlantis)
6. Philadelphia (Lost to Chicago but beat Atlantis)
7. Atlantis (Lost to Philadelphia but beat Grand Haven)
8. Grand Haven (Lost to Atlantis but beat San Diego)
9. San Diego (Lost to Grand Haven)

noone is ever really going to be satisfied with these rankings, but dawgs is the only one putting in the effort to do them. Though we may all have different opinions on things they are pretty good, yea we may disagree of a few ranks but that really doesn't matter. I mean being ranked 9 in a tough tough tough conference really isn't too bad. Keep it up dawgs I enjoy watching who rises and who falls.

Glad to be out of the silly business in the rankings this year. This week should see a reordering of teams anyway, with the whole bunch facing each other.

yeah its still really early. its more guessing at this point than actual results.

I just posted up the first RPI rankings of the year as well as week 5 projections
