Big action today in the polls. 9-loss teams have been cut from the bottom, and will have to go on some kind of winning streak to get back in. This cutting will continue until we get down to 20 teams, primarily because the #20 team right now is a full two games ahead of the rest of the pack.

The biggest news this week: Warsaw slams their way up to the #2 spot in the polls today on the strength of their squeaker over Vorutka. Quite a recovery they've made from their loss at the hands of Portland five weeks ago, knocking off three straight top-10 teams.

In other news, the Pecs of Steel haven't fared nearly as well since their run-in with the upstart Niners, having lost two in a row against the Raptors and Ironmen. Could the Yellowhammers right their ship and strike yet another blow next week to the once seemingly invincible Supermen? Or will the Department of Homeland Security finally bust Lex Luthor and stop him from importing all that Kryptonite from rogue former Soviet states?

Big winners: The Berlin Crusaders crack the top 10 this week after our formula was yet again tweaked. It wasn't their last two games so much as the quality of their previous wins that really gave them the boost.

Big losers: Well, the four teams that just got cut off the bottom of the poll, really. Going from 29th to zero has to be tough for the East German Swim Team *ahem* the Roid Pushers.... Maybe their balls shrank so much they can't help but fumble on every play?

I see the Yellowhammers being a bit more dangerous than that.

Berlin Crusaders (the top 6-3 team in the charts) SoV: 3.7, Net SoS: 14
Vorutka: 2.5, 11.

That's why the gap.

So far, Vorutka has played the top teams tough, but hasn't found enough to beat them.

True that. We won't take them lightly though.

10) Raptors (78.7) -3

Raptors lose 3 points after beating Yugoslavian Roid Pushers W 129-21?

Shouldn't change ranking much though

Well, the margin of victory shit is capped, so they could've won by 70 and it would've been the same shit.

Roid Pushers have zero wins. Thus, you only really get the 5 points for the victory.

Sucks, happened to our team in the BBB #10 polls too.

Positional movement, yes. You were #7 last week, and slipped down for some other teams beating better quality opponents.
