Nope. How about a team called the Cajun Crushers. Very Oceanic.


1. We're called the Cascade Cajun Crushers
2. If you knew anything about Oceania, Cascade is a top selling beer company based in Tasmania.

Let's guess... do you know where Tasmania is? :o

1) If you knew anything about reading comprehension, you'd know that I was referring to the OP's ongoing problem with our team name. He doesn't seem to have a problem with other non-Oceanic names.
2) I specifically mentioned your team nickname only. If you knew anything about history, the term "Cajuns" is a bastardized form of Acadian (referring to the French settlers of Maritime Canada who were forcibly expelled from the area by the British after the French and Indian War, most of which settled in what is today known as Louisiana) Very Oceanic.
3) Yes. Tasmania is off the southern coast of Australia. And, no, I didn't have to look it up. Anytime you would like to have a Geography Bee, let me know.

SoCal beat BPN. Cook Island Beat SoCal. Cook Island is undefeated, yet ranked lower than BPN who have one loss. Apparently we're the Utah of the VCS. I can handle being rated behind Brisbane, but it's complete crap when we're rated behind a team with a loss. It's not like we don't have a quality victory or two. New Guinea OOC was a tough game.

I think the rating committee is upset over this game from last season:

That's the Cascade Way.

I get what you are saying. That said I think this ranking is all about the end result (in other words based on what has happened CIC should beat BPN and be ranked higher by seasons end... there had to be a starting point and all that matters is the endpoint... everything in between is garbage, imo). For a lack of a better description, it is absolutely meaningless until all regular season games have been played and everyone has played everyone (even then the out of conference games couple with the preseason prediction/ranking may have a huge effect on the ranking... the preseason ranking is the most inaccurate since we all know very little about the new teams and is unfortunately a horrible starting point).

The whole points of the BCS is to compare teams who haven't or won't play each other.

1) Because the Crushers' name has something to do with Australia. There isn't a Scranton in Australia, so obviously there isn't a West Scranton in Australia. Cascade is known EVERYWHERE around Australia - I would know because I live in Sydney.
2) That means we're Cajuns that are in Tasmania. Are you against immigration? If so, get out of the US and back into the US and give the US back to the Native Indians
3) I may only be in my teens, in high school and in Australia, but BRING IT ON. I'm serious here. I know my place geography well.

Edit: Also, I know I'm being a hypocrite here, but relax, this is just some stupid online game. I'm only defending the CCC, not attacking others

But isn't a ranking system like this also worthless at the end of the season in a league where everyone plays everyone?

No, the whole point of the BCS is to give out meaningless trophies to teams that don't deserve them.

Which, ironically, will be about the same relevance of this ranking at the end of the season.
