Warrior General Games

Alright so when deciding my vote for the coaches poll I kinda came up with my very own ranking system. Its probably not that accurate but I thought it could get some conversation going on the board anyways. Had to do a little research so just thought I could get the right to post what I found here. First off the formula I used was

Chemistry + #of level 25 and above players signed through day 40 of this season - Inactive players on roster - CPU players on roster + overall rating. Wins and losses will figure in also once the season starts but that is how I based my opinion.

Now for the discussion and predictions as to who will do what this season. I say Omaha is the team to beat but there are several teams getting close. Some guys made alot of moves this offseason and will be better in the second half when chemistry begins to get caught up.

Interesting calculation, but outside of certain ranges I don't think Chemistry will have as big an impact as some of the other factors you list (like inactive and CPU).

That being said, in groupings I agree your rankings are pretty close (like top 3, next 5, next 4, and bottom 4). Order in those sub-groups are a little murkier.

very interesting...

great for preseason rankings, but once games begin u need to factor wins and losses

Chattanooga is on the rise. Some key additions over the offseason

Mo, have you been drinking again? I told you to leave that damned calculator alone when you drink.

One problem might be that low chemistry teams likely made alot of moves. Which could be good or bad....

I know chemistry kicked our ass for almost 2 seasons but once we got that under control we were very competitive with anyone we played. We made tons of moves and beat our chemistry to death and those moves only helped when we started recovering chemistry.

Chemistry is huge, low chemistry is a big reason we went 5-11 first season
