Warrior General Games

Alright all, here's the week two rankings. They are STILL very rough, so please give it a few more weeks before the rankings are really established. I know there are flaws in it, but they'll be worked out in time.

Whatever. I agree we haven't played any good teams yet, and won't until the 4th game, But we are better than you think.

I forgot to mention this, Queen City beat them 70-0, we beat the same team 63-0. So based on a common foe, I think we deserve some consideration. I don't think we are top 5, or even top 10, but top 16, yes.

This is a good argument; however, the reason I ranked you so low is simply because you're overall as a team is 30. I base my calculations largely off of this # as well as who you've played and margin of victory. I just don't see you beating a team that has an overall score of 36 unless you come out with a killer gameplan. Trust me, if you do beat them, I'll catapult you into the top ten, but until you do, you'll probably fly under the radar.

Thanks to the rest of you for the compliments =) Good to know several hours of work is enjoyed, if not debated.

Hey, come on you post it, it then hs to be debated. I do enjoy it, but like anything (I'm a pessimist) I can always find flaws in almost anything. I do know, that in games 4 & 5 we play 2 top 10 (#'s 5/9) teams. Now what if we win 1? how about 2?

Oh, and other than me complaining about my team, meaning me in your threads, it is good work, that you do here, Dan4GS.

I like these type of threads, Thanks Dan4GS.

Thanks Len. I knew they would be debated...I figured you're team might stir up some debate because of your record and how well you're run the ball, and the other problem I had with the rankings was the Revelstoke Revolution, who are 1-1, beat a team lower than them but also lost to a team a few ranks lower then them. It'll just take a few more weeks to really work itself out. If you beat either the #5 or #9 teams, you'll go way way up.

That's not entirely fair as Vancouver was ranked above us last week. The only reason they're ranked below us now is because we beat them. It's really hard to say who belongs where just yet. It'll be closer to mid-season until the cream really starts to rise. I'm now sure where we'll be, but we'll all find out soon enough.

after the husker maniacs take out HH we should move up to #3 or 4

I think you were a little harsh on the Icemen. They lost to a team in the top 5 and beat a team ranked 10th. And don't let the scoreline fool you in their loss, it was a close game until a couple of quick scores knocked the stuffing out of them in the 2nd half.

We certainly won't be underestimating them if we both reach the playoffs.

I guess thats a minor point. Great job on this. It makes for very interesting reading and adds a bit more spice to the fixtures.
