I think Forza Juventus is a little overrated.

Very interesting to see what the perception of some of these teams are. My personal rankings had differences of 8 spots, 5 spots, and two with 4 spots as opposed to the final list. I don't want to say which teams, but I strongly believe they will start to balance out over the course of interleague play, assuming there aren't a ton of huge additions and subtractions.

Remember though, these power rankings have 6 categories of value, and only 1 are the Votes. So teams that are playing well, and putting up strong statistics get a bump in the final rankings.

I guess the main difference is that I made a point of going back and trying to adjust for homecourt advantage, effort disparity, and point differential gained or lost by intentional punts. Good job on these though, I think we all enjoy reading them and gauging leaguewide perceptions.

Wait a second... Forza Juventus is in second? this rating system is worse than the BCS... (just kidding)

So what determines a quality win? And can we know the secrets behind these 5 statistical categories?

I know I have 5 wins but two came at home with more effort and all my PD came from a blow-out of Burger Chefs. How does that equal second place?

Well, you are tied for the 2nd best record in the league, so it's not out of line for you to be ranked so high :-)

Quality win = Road win, or win against a team currently slated to make the playoffs.

The statistical categories are Offense, Defense, Rebounds, Assists.

You get credit for 4 quality wins....obviously a case could be made that beating a punting Burger Chefs, and absent Rimrockers team on the road is not quality...but then it would become very subjective and start to be just my own personal opinion which I was trying to avoid. Winning on the road in BB is tough, and for the most part, things will average out of over the course of a season in terms of the top teams receiving punts and easy wins etc.

yep, I was one of the teams probably expected to reply, but didn't. Holiday travels kept me off the site with barely enough time to check in. Just a not about my team, predicted free fall is a good guess of what to expect. I have played 5 of 8 games at home and have two losses, so hoevering around .500 is not out of the question. Very stacked league this year. Form and injuries will determine much for the rest of the season.

Whiner! j/k

Actually, you've got a light schedule next week and you're at home, so if you ask me, I'm guessing AZ isn't too happy right now.


Yes, I had to whine, I mean vent :-)
