Good job everyone, for the most part very objective, makes for a good poll!

good idea, I hope you don't mind if I copy the topic for BBB#3

So this is apparently only for the Eastern Conference. Could you specify that in your next post?

No, it's league wide. The owners should vote for the top 16 teams in #8 period, if you check it out, you will see there are several teams in the top ten from the west.

Not at all, copy away. If all the team owners vote, thats a sampling of 32 peoples opinions and should remove bias enough to get a good feel of who everyone really considers to be the best.

Is this a joke? If not, this is what we call bulletin board material.

No joke, I don't make the poll, your fellow owners and their representatives do. Like I said, if you feel your team should be the list, send in your own poll. So far, this poll only represents 3 owners. The more we get in, the more accurate the poll will be.

While we appreciate the love we got from the 3 owners (or whichever one(s) voted us high) who submitted polls, I really don't think we're the #3 team in the league right now. We're probably just outside the top 10. Our schedule has been very favorable up to this point. We're young and improving.

I'm not sure if the owners who sent in their rankings looked at just record, or really delved into each team to make a decision. Thats why we need more participation. I don't really agree with the current state of the poll probabally anymore than you guys do, but I just add it up and post it.

6-0 Portland and we're not even listed...weak...

I appreciate Audiophanatic putting this together. But I don't think the poll will be objective. Part of it is that this whole GLB thing is new and everyone wants "props" for their team. I saw another BBB league did a power ranking. I'd like to get their formula to see how it would work. I think it includes win/loss, opponent record, roster, ratings and a few other things. I think we have a really good league and the playoffs should be pretty stout.

That sounds like an RPI more than a poll. If you want to build that spreadsheet, imput updates every night then go for it lol. I've attempted to build one and just decided it would be too much work for this game. This however, is easy, just send me your poll and I post the results. If no one wants to participate, great, more time for me. I'm just trying to add another thing to the game to keep people active and interested.

Too make the RPI effective, you take your W-L, your oppenents W-L and your opponents opponents W-L (SOS). Add a percantage to each, like 25-50-25. Add it all together and form an average. This takes a TON of research and time on the part of the person doing it.

bascially, if you only had 3 people send you their votes, then you shouldn't have posted the "rankings" for this week
because all this is is your opinion of the rankings; it doesnt represent anyone in the league except four owners, whom are all obviously from the eastern conference since I don't think ONE SINGLE WEST CONFERENCE TEAM is on this list. you say this poll represents the rankings sent to you by a representative of "every team"? it looks to me like:
1. its completely biased to the eastern conference
2. only four owners (3 plus yourself) have actually been "represented"

3 undefeated 6-0 teams from the west conference arent in the top-10 huh? like i said maybe you should wait until people participate because this isn't representative of anything except four people's opinions

Look, I posted this on the BBB #8 forum and got only a few responses. The only way this was going to get started was for me to start it. So what if it's horribly skewed, it'll work out in the end. If your unhappy that it's skewed, and it obviously is, send in your own rankings to me. And I didnt even put my own rankings into it, I know there are some good teams in the west.

Tommorrow night, everyone please send me your rankings: Top 16 leaguewide, please don't list just your conferences teams.

This is hilarious. I'll rank every eastern conference team below every Western if I even bother to do it, which isn't likely with this administration.
