The rankings have been adjusted again, this time we have added some more emphasis to the offensive and defensive point differentials. I think this version is the closest to what we are seeing in the game so far. I think we need a way to better represent what has happed recently and there are still a couple things Im trying out, but for now here are the Rankings after the Week 8 games.
#1 Farkistan Squirrels (8-0, Rank 37.03)
Farkistan regains the top spot despite a nail biter win due to the new emphasis on point differential. This week they look to continue their run of domination against a slumping Ducks squad.
#2 Gary Gangstaz (8-0, Rank 36.66)
Their dominant win over the Shamrockers wasnt enough to impress the computer due to the hit their strength of schedule took. A win in this weeks game of the week vs. the once defeated Niagara Rapids may put them back on top.
#3 Niagara Rapids (7-1, Rank 34.53)
A tough strength of schedule and great point differential puts this team in the #3 spot. The schedule doesnt get any easier this week as they run into the #2 ranked Gary Gangstaz.
#4 Austin Breakers (8-0, Rank 34.32)
The weakest SOS in BBB#7 has the Breakers looking up at 2 1 loss teams. A win vs. a tough LA team this weekend will go a long way toward proving this team is for real and deserving of a higher ranking.
#5 - Atlanta Purple Penguins (6-2, Rank 30.25)
Another team benefiting from the revisions to the rankings, the point differential vaults them into the #5 spot despite a loss to the Spirit last week. Houston is up next, another letdown may send this team tumbling down the board.
