oh wow... ron swanson did work on this division two years ago (he won it the year before you promoted here natelio if i'm not mistaken).

not looking forward to my matchup with eclypze's new center in wk 1

It will be a minor miracle if I do not get relegated this season. I might just blow up the team and concentrate on training.

Awesome rankings, hopefully I'll be able to move on up the list. It's a building season for me though, just looking to stay in the league and make a few bucks

Very cool power ranking feature. I will say the level of competition has obviously gone way up too since Season 17: the new promotees are getting tougher every year, and the old faces have gotten better over the last season. I haven't scouted too much past glancing at rosters but there's probably 10 teams here in season 19 who could have been favorites for the title in season 17.

I'd put Eagles and Tornadoes higher up my own list, but frankly I'm also not sure who I'd bump down right now. With the exception of Ozark (less active), the Big 8 is a nightmare. And there are really no gimmies on the Great 8 side either. Looking forward to seeing how things start to shake out after a couple weeks of games.

Personally I can't stand the first week of the season, the economy page is screwed up, the standings have no actual meaning, and the anticipation to see where I'll fit into the league begins to eat at me...

So this was a weird first set of games. Toronto lost to Ozark at home, I normalled Extra Crispy because I thought he was still my rival, Eclypze went down (tough opening game though..).

Whatever, I'm waiting until Wednesday to post a ranking.

Is this gonna be a weekly thing??

More or less. Sometimes I'll do it after each game, but for the most part I'll do it once a week.

Ok, so we have a little bit more of the story told. But honestly, this still has not unfolded the way I thought it would. For example, the Toronto Traptors (last seasons runner up) are last in the Big 8. Not thinking that will stick. The Ozark Tigers are in 1st in the Big 8, after beating the 2 Big 8 semi-finalists. Weird. Not thinking that will stick either. The Great 8 isn't quite as unpredictable, but I am surprised that 2 out of 3 promotees on that side are sitting in the playoff hunt.

All that said, it's only been 2 games and we still have no game shape or enthusiasm difference (*coughOZARKcough*).

So, based on my formula, here is the current power ranking. Again, the number you see next to the team is their Power Ranking score. It's figured by adding a weighted team rating average, team record, and team point differential. They are weighted in that order of importance.

Power Ranking

1. Ron Swanson All-Stars: 13.282
2. Flash Mashers: 10.140
3. Ozark Tiger: 9.723
4. Eclypze: 4.648
5. Lengends: 4.515
6. Liberty and Power: 3.832
7. Updog Brewers: 3.057
8. 2 Left Feet: 0.822
9. Natellio: 0.132
10. East Gary Eagles: -1.752
11. Extra Crispy: -2.777
12. Conneticut Cresleys: -4.810
13. Broken Aarow Tornados: -6.227
14. Lake Charles Creoles: -8.860
15. Toronto Traptors: -9.860
16. The Door Mats: -15.902

Good luck in the Cup everyone!

This is awesome! But I agree with you, this will be changing, there's no way I'll hold onto 2nd place...

You're underestimating your team. You've got 4 players of 30K salary. Unless they're all overpaid.. you'll be in the playoff hunt in the Big 8. And in my opinion, the playoff hunt in the Big 8 means promotion hunt.
