[Cringer]

Figured Wichita would be #1, they are a tough team.

[hawkster]

Movin' on up!

[Matt]

still hanging on. Wichita is a tough team. We also expect our game against Lansing to be nothing short of close

[Hell Atlantic]

how is Los Angeles ranked higher than Portland??

how is Los Angeles ranked higher than Portland??

Well, I can only speak for my vote.

Until Los Angeles loses, I will alwyas put them above a team with losses. No disrespect to Portland, my opponent this weekend, but LA deserves respect for an unblemished record.

More alarming, I think the Vipers are way over ranked. I didn't give my team a single vote and am amazed at where they are -- they got to pass the Portland test this Sunday before they grab my attention.

I too am astonished at where I sit in this ranking. I don't mind sitting in the top 10 but I just don't think Texas is better than alot of teams that aren't even on the list. Maybe other GM's have a more objective view of my team. But anyway, thanks for the votes of confidence. I hope Texas lives up to the hype.

don't worry about what you think. The annointed 12 have chosen. It's not for us to question. the only thing bad about the annointed 12 is that I never thought of the idea myself

RANKING CRITERION 1 "of what have you done for me lately": LOSSES are the key factor of the ranking system.

nice job here again fellas.
It's hard to against Wichita at this point. I'd be interested to know which of the 12 had Wichita ranked 2nd.

[tarcone]

Top 10. T-Hawks on the rise.

There is a possibility for ten first place votes ... the top twelve vote getters are then ranked as the "Annointed Twelve" (the teams that are best positioned to receive one of the twelve playoff berths).

This is the first week that the #1 team did not receive all ten first place votes.

Price & Waterhouse has the contract with TB to tally the votes and by their agreement are sworn to secrecy on the identity from which any vote may come.

:arrow: P&W was able to confirm that Wichita received nine first place votes and one third place vote.

Perhaps dberner needs to resort to more ... and if that fails, it has been reported that a has always been a crowd pleaser with the voting panel.
