For what it's worth, I don't disagree with you Tom. Doing the rankings is tough and I think you've got a very good team.

1) MEM: 1 BL, 0 GW (#1, can't have a good win)
2) LN: 0 BL, 0 GW
3) WW: 0 BL, 0 GW
4) DDL: 2 BL, 0 GW
5) GBM: 2 BL, 1 GW
6) CS: 0 BL, 0 GW
7) MM: 1 BL, 0 GW
8) OTR: 2BL, 1 GW
9) CarHam: 2BL, 2 GW
10) SDL: 0 BL, 0 GW
11) BSB: 2 BL, 1 GW
12) HHW: 0 BL, 1 GW
13) CCCC: 2 BL, 2 GW
14) LVG: 1 BL, 2 GW
15) WB: 1BL, 1 GW
16) OF: 0 BL, 1 GW
17) ChiHed: 1 BL, 1 GW
18) SL: 0 BL, 1 GW
19) CW: 0 BL, 3 GW
20) LVF: 0 BL, 0 GW
So yeah, I noticed a slight discrepency here for us. It should go up with our win over CCCC. It's pretty obvious that a big win over a top team makes up for any losses.
DAMN IT I WANT A GOOD WIN

Hey look, rankings are like the BCS... they're hardly ever right but always suck fat south carolnia mascot. We all just choose to ignore these facts.

I only proclaim it as an example to shine above the examples of the low-class people. Just reminding people of the difference. The time waste is instigated by the likes of those people, not me. I'm certainly not going to just completely ignore this crap when somebody forces me into the discussion. I like exposing the liars for what they are just to further saturate the image of the bad apples of GLB. Somebody has to keep this place honest.
Word of mouth advertising doesn't work when its coming from YOUR OWN mouth. Personally, I have no problem with you but the holier-than-thou shtick is really getting old.

Your "holier-than-thou" persona is really annoying. It's almost funny that you've been able to keep it up for a year now but it's quite pathetic at this point in S8.
I just LOL'd. I posted my response and continued reading the thread to find this.

No offense, but how is the Hammer a top 10 team with scrim losses to teams outside the top 20.
edit - I looked over things a bit more, just goes to show how tight the teams in this league really are. It's not like in seasons past where the bottom teams were CPU or Anchorage, everyone is legitimately good lol.

Something tells me we are underrated.
You can't take this as base, really, you can't lol.
Look, it's not about how many teams you beat are above you, it's bout how you are doing this season. If you get something for this complaint, then I guess half of those rankings are impossible to do. I mean... not half, like 3/4. Let's just put bottom teams in the rank, because all others have the same stiuation as you do.
I'm not saying every team that we beat should be below us and every team that beat us should be above us, of course it would be impossible. The fact that we have beaten 3 teams above us, and have no bad losses means we are definitely underrated. Most teams will have about an equal number of teams ranked below them that they lost to and teams ranked above them that they beat. Of course, the tops and bottoms will vary a little bit.
Ballots vary among users and are averaged, so the results aren't always exactly where people rank them. I had you guys at 19 FWIW though. You do have some good wins over teams ranking above you...CCCC, Gamblers, Hammer. However you also lost to even more teams ranked above you. Are you underrated? Maybe a little. But this league is seriously the toughest hands down, and you guys are in a 5-team playoff race right now. If you win your next 2 games, you guys will probably go up significantly.
