Warrior General Games

Ok, The new season is upon us and that means crazy and whacked out early power rankings!

So I'll preface this power ranking like I always do. These are based on statistical performance from game to game and strength of schedule. Although only one game in the books, there will be some inflated statistics and some teams that may not deserve to be up top or at the bottom.

There is no biasing, favorites (Although, I prefer the Dart Frogs), or special team love over another.

Here they are.

Naga Conference

Cream of the Crop (Hosting a playoff game)

1. Hakone Heroes: 179.0 points
2. Hell Valley Snow Monkeys: 167.0
3. Sumatra Sting: 165.5
4. Algeria Addiction: 146.5

5 through 8 (Playoff bound, but on the road)

5. Cambodia Mountain Men: 138.0
6. Tibet Psychonauts: 137.0
7. New Jersey Beaver Hunters: 132.5
8. Surabaya Poison Dart Frogs: 129.5

9. Ho Chi Minh Hookers: 109.5
10. Manila Pack: 105.0
11. Seoul Men: 101.0

13. Phuket Water Dragons: 81.5
14. Manila Cyberballers: 79.0

14. Kailua Tigers: 87.0
15. Midway Maulers: 69.0

Awesome job with the rankings. I believe Jim may do his rankings this season (though I'm not 100%), so we could see something similar to what we saw last year with an average between the two polls to create a sort-of... BCS standings, if you will.

Thanks for doing them.

Awesome job Swinter. If it's anything like last season it may take about 10 weeks for us to get a better picture of what's going on. Appreciate you putting that together.

yep, we've got some "outliers" here ... still got some cupcakes in the mix that throw everything off until every gets a chance to play a couple of them

Yeah, I ran the numbers from the generator I got, but things are really ugly after one week. Got to get up the nerve to post them.

As switner said, it will take a while for these polls to settle in. In this version, "Strength of Record" is basically the wins by the teams you beat minus the losses of the teams that beat you. Thus everyone is at 0 at this point. The "Quality of Wins" is a number that loosely calculates how much you "beat the spread". You are rewarded for beating good teams and penalized for losing to bad teams. Don't ask me how a spread is being calculated at this point. It's all for fun anyways.

I will combine this one and swinter's in a moment to give a BCS standings.

Rank … Strength of Record ……. Quality of Wins ............................ Team ............................... Record …

With any statistical analysis, the more data you collect the better it'll get. I was unsure about posting this early, but at least we can see where things start and how they shake down and start to align themselves throughout the entire season and at the least poke holes and get people talking about the league.

yeah this thing is usually iffy till later in the seson but thanks for doing it. Its good to watch and see how teams progress

how do we lose by 1 point to the team ranked #9 and go all the way to 25...oh well. i know this is just a fun spreadsheet but still odd

Good stuff. I remember last season's BCS being really wacky but it ended up being pretty damn accurate in the end.

Close games ruin your power rankings....just ask Gold Rush. As soon as you guys win a couple and strengthen your record it will strengthen our win and lessen your loss....i think!

Was a great game tho. 1 Breakaway TD each and the 1 point in it and we played most of the 4th quarter in our own half...nailbiting stuff. Shame both our teams have been hit by the rushing nerf

As a rebuilding team, I wish guys I was trying to recruit would've given The Shadow Dragons the credit we're getting in this forum. We lost our last 13 games last season and this forum expects us to compete.

You guys must have been looking close, because we do expect to compete. Got a full starting line-up finished just in time for game 1

I'm gunna quit saying rebuilding now and maybe recruiting will kick up a notch

I personally like these rankings, great work swinter!
