Yeah, Yeah, everyone knows...there is a different thread for that. An * would be pretty funny though.

It's a weak Week 7 matchup wise.

The best two games are 9 Nashville Longshots vs. 10. Reamstown Ramrods and 8. Waller Knights Vs. 17. Texas Tornados.

Other than that, it will take some significant upsets to make these rankings shift.

I'm not going to bash you for your opinions, but how do you have NO in 5th, when Vermont spanked them? Just curious...

What do you think about each power rankings guy having his own thread and titling it something like

The "Insert Name Here " Rankings Poll for week "insert week" USA 8. That will help keep the discussion up and keep the polls seperate.

Good/Bad/Indifferent?

I would n't get crazy either , at least you took the time no one has. But the Ramrods beat the Gurupies, should be a little closer. Next week we should see how good we are against the roadrunners

I think Indy and Reamstown are both overachieving a bit so far this season, but that may simply be because they are really good at scouting and setting their tactics correctly each game or a bit of luck. The rest of the season will tell.

It is tough to give too much credit to the Ramrods victory over the Gurupies because that victory came on the first game of the season, and the Gurupies are on fire beating highly ranked teams in the last few weeks.

I applaud you for trying but average level doesn't mean shit man. The two best teams on level at the beginning was VT and NO. Not to be rude but where are they now? They both have very strong teams, but I'm just using them to point out that level should not factor in at all. Instead of level is should be the teams you played. If you have one team that has only lost one game, by a missed FG, to a team that is 5-1 - like Atlanta, then how can they not be at least top 5?

I would also take a look at record of teams played against...for example...Vermont is 4-2, the combined record of the teams we have played against is...

16 wins / 20 loss

Atlanta

12 wins / 24 loss

Chesapeake

12 wins / 23 loss (one team actually had a tie)

So..who has played the harder schedule?

I applaud your efforts, and have no problem where you ranked Vermont.

I wasn't trying to call you out. Don't take it that way. I just used your team as a point of reference as to way player level is not a true indication of a power ranking. You did have the the #1 team on player level before the season. Player level means nothing and those of us like myself who was around last season can tell you that. A good game plan can always make up for level differences. That's the point I was trying to prove. I also don't see what streaks has to do with it either. What if you have a 5-1 team who just lost their first game so there streak is L1 and then you have a 3-3 team who won three in a row so their streak is W3. By factoring in just streak alone, it looks like the 3-3 team would come out stronger when that's really not the case.

I would put Indianapolis Gurupies in front of us because they squeaked on out against us. GLB has us second because there is a 3 way tie for second with the gurupies beating us then the losing to the other teams, so the next tie breaker is most points score which went to us.

Curious how 1-loss Atlanta could be ranked above undefeated Tucson. Especially when the combined record of Atlanta's opponents is 12-24 and the combined record of Tucson's is 17-19.

Removing their results vs Atlanta and Tucson respectively, the adjusted records of Atlanta's opponents is 11-19 and Tucson's is 17-13. Not even close to equal schedules and Tucson has yet to lose.
