This is still going on? Now I feel bad because had we just simply beaten the Hangovers, this mess would have been avoided >_>

You know, I felt like Florence had been ranked too low for an undefeated team for a while. I mean, we beat the Sharks and were ranked lower than they were. Did I say anything about it? Nope. Instead, I decided to do my best to prove the rankings wrong.
So my advice is, stop talking and start playing. You want to improve your ranking, go win some games. You're not gonna change them any other way.
No doubt. Can't wait to see the Pewnts lose (hopefully) and us not occupying the top two spots.

Man look, It's pretty damn clear that if a team beats a team one week, then FOR THAT ONE WEEK...they shouldn't be below that team....especially if they've beat similar teams worse, or if they've lost to similar teams less.
Simple. Easy greasy. I don't see why you have such a hard time in admitting that you got something wrong.
Once in a while the Dolphins will beat the Patriots but even I, a hardcore Dolphins fan would not rank them above the Patriots in a power ranking. A team can lose to another and still be considered a better team in my opinion. Anything can happen in one game.

There's a difference between harsh wording and direct insult.
To me Bombs first post reads like he's annoyed/unpleased with the Power rankings and is asking Bears what his motivation behind the rankings are.
But I can't speak for how anyone else reads it so, that's all I'll say in the matter. Internet drama over a game is just silly either way.

So we beat the LUEs and still we're ranked below them in the 'POWER RANKINGS'. You do know power rankings are NOT based upon records, right? And you do know we beat them TODAY...right?
I truly hope you understand the meaning of power rankings vs. standard standings...if you want this thing to be taken seriously.
You have a worse record and the LUEshis pulled off a tie in the Bolts home while only giving up 3 points. I take that into higher priority over a win for this week, especially considering the Bolts then went on to upset the Bengals.
I mean I could look into the future and decide that the fate of the Hangovers looks far brighter than that of the LUEshis based on remaining schedule...but there is no telling that the LUEshis wont go 4-0 to finish the season...thus, you dont have an equal record, your track record is too similar to make a difference, so you are placed one spot below the LUEshis for this week.
and possibly for the rest of the season as far as this ranking is concerned because im not really sure I want to spend any more time on it at this point...

sugar coat things all you want...insults were directly and indirectly thrown by both parties...

I never said he was innocent mind you.
Anyway I just thought people were judging bomb a bit harshly, guess it's a cultural difference or something. I'll just butt out now and leave you americans to your thing, have fun tearing at each others throats.

Batman is an American, I don't think he would let you ride with him.
