Dude...reading is fundamental. You are ranked exactly where you are based on the WL record, SOS, Points Scored, Points Allowed, and a few other intangibles that I program in. As I've said, what, 5 times now? And no, your ego is not one of the intangibles. The preseason rankings have absolutely nothing to do with it at all . . . those were just numbers I threw out as I thought people would find them interesting, and they have ZERO impact on where you are now.
If you don't like it, complain. I don't care. It's pretty much the same ratings method they use for the NFL, so I guess that's all just total horseshit, too, right?
The funny thing to me is that your biggest complaint is that the Greats should be sitting at #2, while I have you at #3. LOL.

my biggest complaint is that the there is no logical reason that the top two teams are the top two team
formulas are awesome and are obviously the best way to determine who is the best, just ask college football

Whatever....given that we are dealing with digital dots, not real people, about the ONLY way to do any sort of ranking that makes sense is to use a formula that takes into account as much stuff as possible. The Pigs and Headhunters are there because they've played a schedule that is just good enough, their offense has looked better, and their defense has looked better.
A few more things:
- If you would stop complaining long enough to actually look at the rankings, I bet you would find out they aren't that far off from what you would do.
- You simply can't put much weight into what happened the previous season, as in this game teams tend to change WAY too much from one to the next.
- How are you going to compare this to college football, while totally ignoring the fact that the NFL runs their power rankings the same way? The biggest difference is that in GLB, much like in the NFL, the rankings really don't mean much as we DO have a playoff at the end to prove who is really better.
- Bias? Really? Do you honestly think I care enough about any team, other than my own, to actually slant the rankings? Dude . . . it's a spreadsheet. It doesn't play favorites.

In all honesty their is no logical reason to have any undefeated team ahead of another. It's a formula though and it has to pop out someone for the number one spot.
Strength of schedule is pretty meaningless this early in the season so you can't really lean on that too much.

btw if I was going to make a power ranking I would rank the greats number 1.

LOL...well, that would make you nfratami's bestest buddy. I don't know that I've ever met anyone so consumed with how people "view" and respect his team and his players.
And as I posted at some point in this long and tiresome argument . . . there is a very good chance that if they win this week, they will be #1. Unless I decide to show my bias and move them back down.
Tell me again why I'm wasting my time doing these things for this league? Never in my life heard so much whining and complaining.

You know what would be fun . . . a scrimmage between the Greats and my SA AAA team, the Spider Monkeys. Don't know how it would turn out, but it would be cool to watch.

really the complaining is only coming from one person. I'm a big fan of the rankings personally and I know a bunch of other people are as well. I was just stating that in my opinion the greats are the number 1 team in lion, but you are doing rankings from a formula so the order it come ups are out of your control (for the most part)

I've said countless times on this forum that I think respect in GLB is a joke, I'm not fighting for respect, I'm just calling your rankings dumb.

I'm sure....send a challenge and let's find out. I would, but my friendly schedule is booked. Should be a good game:
Matchup: http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=4592&team2=5278
** LOL . . . I just realized that the Greats are even nfratami's team. Oh well. I'll PM the Great's owner and see if he wants to play.
