Eh...Those rankings are a joke.

WSI deserves to be the top, but MM, and even TIT(barring my bad settings tonight, no offense Fafko)deserve to be top over a LOT of those teams ahead of them.

Hell, most of the top 10 are from an over-rated USA-Pro,

And Canada League.

TiT has not won against anyone in the top 25 and have lost to a bunch of them.

How can they be top 25?

This season preseason losses don't count since the Beans dropped a preseason game. Last preseason he counted them against teams. lol. I give SI credit for doing the rankings. I think he is very league-biased to USA and CPL.

Honestly . . . I'd put Cook Island in there right now before I'd put Tonga.

Maybe..Dpell and I got CIC on a roll, but TIT takes arguably one of the best divisions on each season, and normally goes 13-3, 14-2.

And 4-1 this season, the one loss really being my fault

We've actually never been worse than 15-1 . . . but who's counting

West Scranton isn't even an Oceania team, they hijacked from Europe or some crap like that and didn't even have the decency to respect the league with a regional name change.

Does it really matter ?

They could change it to "We Love Tony Romo"

They would still be hands down the best team in OPL until disthrowned.

Tonga is also the poster child for Bort's nerfs the last two seasons. As someone with a player on TiT and GM abilities I've seen their builds, and most of their players have very few wasted SP. When other season 1 players were dumping SP into SA's Tonga's guys were hitting their softcaps and beyond. I just added it up and Tonga's four DE's combined to have over 230 sacks in season 5. Then Bort made pass rush changes last season and Tonga's DE's dropped off, but were still disruptive enough it was damn hard to throw on them. Now this season their DE's are as invisible as anyone else's.

Taking away their pass rush considerably weakened TiT's defense which closed the gap between them and most teams because while a few teams had one good DE, few had 3 or 4 guys who could all have been 50+ sack players if they weren't splitting snaps.

Tonga also had one of the best run-blocking OL's combined with a couple of very good combo/elusive backs. They could easily average 6-8ypc if you didn't specifically gameplan to stop their running game. This season they're in the same boat as the rest of us with their running game.

Most of what Bort has nerfed back the last two seasons has hit the two biggest strengths TiT had. They still have a great roster and very good players, but they don't have a DT like Adam Avalanche or a power back capable of breaking 25+ tackles a game. TiT is still very good, and still has the best ownership I've seen on GLB, but Bort did the other 13 teams in OPL Alpha not named Scranton or Mean Machine a favor with his changes.

Yes, because it's a geographical ambiguity and it doesn't represent our region well if our best team is named after a location in another region.

Names like Mean Machine are neutral and other teams are named after locations within our region. It just sucks that the one representative team from our region that is the most well known is also the same one that shows the least respect to the region they play in. The sooner another team displaces them the better IMO.

Seriously, shut your mouth. WSI have, as far as I recall, never been anything but classy. You are saying something that is dumb.


dpell, you talk like a running game is difficult. In fact, it is extremely easy: simply accept Fat Jesus as your own personal Lord and Blocker, and he will lead you to the promised land. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Lights Out.

If you don't got a power back, it is very difficult this season.

Two speed/elusive backs - Screwed
