This isn't set in stone, and if a team like 3KW loses and Bangkok wins next week, it's certainly something to re-examine. But for right now, I don't know any argument that should put 0-2 teams above 2-0 teams.
ANL and KG both killed you guys by 50+ points, yet you've got yourself higher than them on your list? Also, when looking at a limited number of games won or lost, you have to consider the quality of the competition... yeah we're 0-2, but if you played the same two teams we did, you'd be 0-2 as well, and vice versa if we played the teams you beat. I know you guys are worried your team will get left out again in the inter-conference contest, but using hyperbole and trying to inflate your team's standing just makes you look ridiculous. It's much better for the league if we have accurate rankings, as it provides for more competitive, entertaining games, and gives meaning to the contest. What fun is it if we allow the Rampage to be a top 15 team, just to see them get totally blown out by the competition. It's much better if we seed you guys around #20 or so and actually give you a chance to come back with a win.
No offense intended here... just trying to shed some reality on the situation. You guys are improving, and remember, being a marginal team in Pro is still better than being a champion in AAA.
