We keep winning and we still keep dropping.

It appears the quality of play is all on the East side of the league.

Wow, if that's true the mod just committed a pretty serious privacy "no no". Depending on the ToA for the site, maybe even regardless of them, something like that could cause alot of trouble.

Well - back to the rankings. I thought this might spark some debate - but looking at the data, I don't think there is much to debate. But - I went ahead and compared conferences - East vs. West. And here's what I found:

For the East: Average Ranking = 12.5 Median Ranking = 11.5
For the West: Average Ranking = 20.5 Median Ranking = 21.5

The East has 4 of the top 5 teams, and 7 of the top 10.
The West has - well, um . . . . . . 9 of the bottom 12.

I don't think the difference is as big as people let on. It's true the west has more teams at the bottom, and maybe one or two more teams competing at the top, but by and large the conferences are much the same. East played west during the preseason, and since the west has more truly "bad" teams, the east had a bit of a head start in "rankings". Once the season started east teams are getting more credit for wins because teams from their conference were rated ahead of where they ought to have because of the poor performance of the bottom of the west in the preseason. Therefore we kind of have an issue with these rankings that where the rankings started at the beginning of the season is having a role in determining the rankings as the season wears on. Since during the preseason the east drifted towards the top of the rankings in general and they're playing against themselves now, they're getting more credit for each game they play in the rankings than west teams will on average. I'd wager that if you took 4 teams directly from the middle of the pack in each conference and played them against one another, the games would be much more competetive than you'd assume with the way people talk about the disparity between the two conferences. After looking at each conference, it seems to me that the biggest difference is in the bottom 6 teams or so, after that it levels off a bit.

Thats false. I really wish I was 17. I would venture to guess Darkus black told you that, If that is true forward me the pm, and I will paypal you $15 on the spot. He is 1 step away from perma ban, and that is just the evidence I would need. He has it out for me because I got him banned for 2 days. He banned me so I got him banned for same amount of time. Let me see that pm, and Ill send funds. He also is very insecure about himself, bc he is hideous looking, and does not know what a salad, or a protein shake is. I don't think that guy has seen his shoes when he pees in about 10 years

Who looks at their shoes when they pee?

While I personally love fresh veggies (especially broccoli and cabbage! I eat raw cabbage like apples, they're awesome) it's kind of strange that you mention salads and protein shakes together. One really doesn't have much to do with the other. I would assume you'd only force down protein shakes while you were trying to build mass, and if that were the case there's no real reason to eat salads unless you personally enjoy them. Salads provide alot of nutrients, but that's just one way to get them. When you're building mass you take in as much protein and calories as possible, in order to match the energy you're spending each day working out. Now if you want to work with a nutritionist and have each meal meassured so that you're at your peak for building muscle without having any excess calories to burn later that's fine. But it's fairly common practice to go through periods of building then following up with a period of cutting. What's even more common though, is to neither cut nor build but simply match a good ammount of excercise with a healthy diet and adjust either when needed. Most people aren't really concerned with image that much and simply live however is most comfortable for them. I have one brother who has done alot of powerlifting and counts every meal and keeps close eyes on his pecs, while another just loosens his belt every other year, while I personally just eat what I want and exercise just enough to keep the weight off (it gets harder once your metabolism drops off in your middle years). It used to be i'd eat like a horse and still struggle to keep weight on, man would I love to have that problem now. But anyways, there isn't any "right" way to live, excercise or diet. Live to be happy, if happiness is in a pull-up bar, good for you. If it's somewhere in the bottom of a bag of dognuts, awesome! I just don't think whether or not someone looks at their shoes while urinating really says that much about the person.

Top 3 teams on each side can beat anyone here.

How wrong are you? Protein shakes are 250 calorie meal replacements that keep your body fueled and lean. Have you ever lifted weights? Here is my diet 6 outta 7 days a week. Breakfast 2 sccop whey before workout, after workout 2 scoop whey, 2 banana. 2 hr later 1 chicken breast salad. Lunch chicken or salmon, and a 40 gram carb meal. snack afternoon shake. Dinner steak/chick/or fish salad, and potato. b4 bead shake again. I eat to maintain a healthy lifestyle, while maintaining as much lean mass as possible. Too be a body builder would insinuate that I compete. Quite the contrary, my only motivation is looking good in suits, at the beach, and living a long healthy life. My weight won't fluctuate more than 2-3 lbs a year, and I no longer worry about putting on mass or taking off mass. I can maintain my body as is year round. "Force down protein shakes to add mass" This is the most uneducated assumption I have ever heard. You have 0 idea what you are talking about. Muscle Milk, is one of the top selling protein shakes in the world, and 55% of the people who buy them are women. You couldn't be more off base.
