French Lick is riding a three game winning streak after being considered one of the worst teams early on in the power rankings. Hopefully we can make it 4 in a row.

Cerneo, i say you do a protest and boycott making your Predictions for every weeks games until some last ass gets on his PC and does a spreadsheet for power rankings. why should you bust your ass for 30 minutes writing em up when no one else will?
no thanks. I'm in leagues where people do that formula and its completely jacked... we were the #5 team and we beat the a top 8 team by 30 points, but we fell to #6. The team that passed us barely beat a crappy 2-5 team.
LOL did they have a better record? did they blow out the teams they played... Ranking is done on overall work... not just what you did this week
no, we have a better record and the team we beat had a better record than the team they beat.
obviously its done on overall work - that's why were #5 before we played a ranked team and they were #6. Us beating a ranked team by more points than they beat a crappy team would only enhance our resume more than theirs.
Its a formula and formula's will have problems - look at how many people bitch about the BCS and that's way more complicated than the xcel formula you've put forth.
Also - if we put your math formula in and it came out with NY being better, there would just be bitching and moaning that the results are screwed because NY plays "weaker competition"...
Sorry man, a math formula won't work either because it will only measure a team's ability vs. its conference so you would get a "relative" idea of team's strength in its conference but no idea how good NY is compared to Omaha.
Not true... look at the BCS, you lose a game your gonna fall. you win you stay the same or go up
In your case you lost.

I am planning to pump out the power rankings soon. I am justs till haveing issues with open office, I don't have excel and open office is free...thus it tends to be a bit buggy.
Look for them by atleast the end of the week.
On the bright side once I finish the sheet all it takes is a 5-10min update and it should auto feed you the results. So it will be done soon.

dude - reread my post. We didn't lose. We won by 30+ points against a team ranked in the top 8.

Good luck to the drillers tonight. This will be a battle. This will really say where we stand among the best in the league, imo. You guys are good. I would be lying if i said i wasnt a little nervous for this one. We'll see how it goes.

as a side note, if you plan on betting playoffs tonight, bet Magic BIG. Pistons are going down.
I will be at the game watching the Pistons getting their asses handed to them, yet again.
so Eastern all star team...someone make some nominations. rules are you can't nominate a player you own (seriously that's fucking cheesey), but feel free to nominate players from your team.
WR: nominating DR TRAN: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=72544
someone else will need to take the reins for this one tonight...because like I said, I'll be too busy watching the Pistons cry like babies at the Amway Arena...
