I see the ladder more like the BCS rankings, they get reset in a sense every season but teams who perform well consistantly always have more points early.

They don't really have more points early. they just start at the top of the list. If Alabama starts ranked #1, and they lose their first game of the season, they wouldn't be ranked #1 anymore.

Under the previous elo system, if Madison lost their first game, they'd still be ranked #1.

The system we have this season with the elo tier reset is much more closely aligned with how college football works on rankings than the previous system.

The difference there was a loss in the BCS moved you down the rankings. If you were #1 and lost to the #2 team you fell 1-3 spots depending on the time of the season. However, if you were #1 and lost to the #15 ranked team you fell 5+ spots. If you want to implemented a k-value like that lets go for it.

But...why the fuck do we increase the K value even more when we do a total reset?!

Under the previous elo system, if Madison lost their first 5 games, they'd still be ranked #1.

with ELO reset, losing to a very good team outside of the top 10 will really do a number on your ranking, like logzilla (who I just got thrown into a division with)

I hope we get you before Logzilla...

It lets pro teams compete to their true spot faster. Prov at #5 was a joke.

If there is a reset, Pro teams will start in the exact same spot as Vet teams ldo.

This is a good idea. K value could probably use a bump even with ELO reset.

Vet teams seem to need quite a few more roster changes during the off-season. It would be nice if they toned down the off-season chemistry penalty for vet teams since they will be starting even with incoming pro teams. If a Vet team is only at partial capacity for over half the season it doesn't seem very balanced with the pro teams right on their heels.

Offseason chemistry loss needs to DIAF for sure.

what use is a trophy to a virgin? If it impresses a girl, you'll just get real shy and hide.

This. The "buffer" is really the only reason to try a full rebuild.
