Good early look at it JB. I think the Jellybirds have the roster to be in that ballpark, but man, our chemistry is going to hold us wayyyy back.

i wonder if team talent matter at all in these "rankings"?

Team Talent is the only thing that you could go by at this point

It could be a GLB magic 8 ball he is using?

Sounds like their are going to be quite a few disappointed teams this season.

Is this from what is perceived as team talent or scouting bars? I'm really just asking not breaking balls. Scouting bars say we are equal or better in talent to most all of the teams "ranked" higher than us.(Samoa, Solomon Islands included) No worries really, just wondering what the criteria were. GL to all OPL going into season 11.

Oh gotcha. Well considering most of the scouting bars will be about identical, perception is all he has to go by unless he's using the power ranking script which I doubt.

My favorite choice.

This ranking was really not based on anything other than a quick glance at the teams and a guess at who would do better than who. Being pro got you a higher ranking for no other reason than we haven't played any games yet and i don't know who's talent shows up for ball games at this level besides the ones that have already been here. The Samoa/Solomon ranking wasn't going to be pretty no matter which way I ranked you (it's like a god damn spanish soap opera there, all we need is someone named Ramon). I spent about 5 minutes on it, it has no basis in reality and it's meant to get the rotten tomatoes going. Ranking #2 will have some meat to it and somewhat be based off of results.

I will do some rankings during the preseason. Hopefully a lot of you will take a stab at it......its tough.

First and foremost i appreciate the initiative. I really didn't mean to come off critical just merely curious as to what went on in the decision making. I'm really just keeping the thread alive and enjoying my Sat. night GLB'ing while the family's out Thanks for doing these. And yes the Solomon/Samoa rivalry will be full of comedy and laughter as always
