I never put much stock in league rankings mainly because I'm mostly baffled by them and to be quite honest i never seemed too get a handle on where my team stood because of the amount of injuries we dealt with over the season. I never honestly thought we were very good and was not totally surprised when our teams ranking PLUMMETED from like 8 to 23 after my loss to the Underground in the wild card round. I think it was by a touchdown although i may be wrong. Low and behold Londons in the championship and after a few more skids over the divisional and championship rounds were sitting at 26? Oh well. Good luck by the way to London and the Atlanteans in the championship.

I don't know your exact situation, but I believe it takes into account the health of your team, and the stats of the starters as well.
Those things can greatly effect the ratings, if your starters are injured.

I guess the best way to really find out is to ask the teams we've played if they felt there were only 5-7 teams worse than ours in the league and we played some pretty tough teams this year. (All of which were mighty close with some wins) I'd seriously question your honesty if anyone were to say yeah. My qb play was crazy. Early on jiminez looked like a top 10 qb but then looked like one of the worst qbs i ever fielded for at least half the season. Made very few changes in play calling or had injuries that should effect passing game so drastically. All and all just happy the season has ended. So my question is how is a 10 WIN 6 LOSS team with all these intangibles rated 26? 14 or 15 POSSIBLY (and i think that is even a stretch) but 26??????? Weird season is all i can say and probably for all of us.
