Number 5, Knew I shouldnt of changed the game plan

Theres more important things then power rankings boss.

We are below 3-1 teams. Sully, do you do points found vs points allowed. Like TehKyou, does this matter? It doesn't do anything to change what were gonna do.

Yeah, point differential is included in the rankings.

Not that Im crying just that this doesnt make any sense any way you put it.

Take a look at your defense, then:

* Middle of the pack in points allowed (15th). You'll also notice that out of all teams in the top 12, yours has given up the most points (63).
* 10th in the league in yardage allowed. And in the top 12, only one team has given up more yardage than yours (And they're ranked below you).
* Below average in yards allowed per play (18th). Of the top half (16) of teams in the league, only two teams have given up more yards per play than you have, and those two are closer to 16 than they are to 8.

If you had a top 10 offense and a top 10 defense, perhaps the rankings would be more in your favor. Again, you bring up head to head, indicating that it must be included, but there will come a situation in the season where that possibility will be a contradiction, as I mentioned in last week's rankings.

Thats because we throw our backups in the game when we get a lead. We could just low people out but why do that and our starters are too tired to play good enough next game. Its about strategy and playing time to keep everyone happy. If we were playing the worse teams and lowing them out it would be easy to be top whatever teams. Your rankings are making no sense.

Because they don't have you at #1?

I have my tactics set a certain way so you wont see many blowouts by us so we wont be killing the stats. Just winning games.

So do we in the aftershocks but we still have only let one team even score on us.

This isn't about records but rather about stats.

You are 9th in terms of yardage on passes
You are 10th in terms of yardage on rushes
You are 7th in terms of points scored
You are 15th in terms of points allowed

May I repeat this is about STATS more than record. Your stats are poor and so you don't score highly.

What the deal is Smoke is that you have played decent teams. The ranking formulas he uses are all based on stats. So while you guys are running through the meat of the conference the guys running through the bread are getting better stats. The Gladiators were ranked low till we got to an easy part of the schedule(not trying to speak badly of the teams we have played) and lo and behold we shot up in the ranks. We have one more shouldn't lose game and then we are in a series of three tough games. So our rank will go down if we fail to blow em out.

The bottom line is that this guy stood up and took on the difficult and time consuming task of doing a ranking for our league. I don't agree with the rankings in some places but I don't have the time or the motivation to do them myself. I do have my own ranking in my head of who I think in the Eastern conference can give my team a game. That's what I need to know to help my coaches make their planning decisions. And if we do get ranked lower than where I think we should be than I use it to get my guys riled up and liven up the team message board.

Also may I note that this isn't the guys opinion its a mathematical formula that he uses in other places as well so don't get offended by the maths.

Blowing horrible teams out will give you great stats. They way you have your rankings we will never be up there because we choose to put in our backups for blowouts to save stamina for starters. But we are easily top 5 in power rankings. Its ok though we will see.

WTH are you smokin? (oh wait)

Most of your points have been scored in the 4th quarter (Even in your only "blowout" that I can see)

You've just played more tough teams then most everyone else. I'm pretty sure most teams have it set up to play backups when it's a blowout.

The stats will even out in the next few games.
