Well its not really a good thing to judge this early, as it goes probaly by wins and losses.

I'm still not sure I understand quality of play...to me it sounds like it's estimating how good the teams you've played so far are. So in essence, a negative number means you've been playing teams weaker than you determined by some calculation, although if that were true I don't know why the lowest ranked teams have negative numbers since they'd always be playing superior teams.

Basically, I have no idea what the hell it means

Looks good to me. I might have ranked us over more of the 0-3 teams, but it seems about right.

You guys have to give it time, any ranking system that is based on schedule strength needs to be played out, so in about week 10, it will have a better grasp of what is going on. As some teams play a tough opening schedule and might go 1-2, where as some people might play 3 rebuilds, and be 3-0 but haven't played a tough opponent, just takes time for it to all work itself out.

I wouldn't say that a ranking of eighth is hating us.

We got lucky, last year we beat teams that were moved up, lost by 2 to the champions, so we just missed the AA call up! So hopefully we can have a good run this year!
