Power Rankings - By Division

[Guest]

Newb question on the variability within this game ----

1)If we reran the draft would the Power ranking order remain relatively the same? or is there a range of +- 20 or so ? just wondering ----

2) Competitiveness of the game ---
Can PR of 20 compete with 84 or is the season pretty much over ? Hope I'm not insulting anyone with these dumb questions.

just bumping this for any vets out there who could answer ( last bump I'll ever do)

I'm dying here. Only had like 15 minutes to look over my roster last night. I know I nabbed a BEAST DT, Larry King, and a really good RB, both of whom are pretty young. Also, got some nice young O lineman. I can't believe we can't see ratings in the HTML's.....weak sauce.

I feel your pain. With plenty of us working during the day without access to the game, it would really facilitate trade discussion (and league discussion in general) to be able to see ratings in the HTML.

The problem is that it would give away too much information. All of our scouts see the players a little differently. There would need to be separate HTML reports that only your team could view.

Fair enough. Make it so!

The Phantoms are head and shoulders rated above the division...

But since I have zero experience, I will not be shocked if I finish last.

The Los Alamos Monsters declare the following rivalries (which go back through the ages in an obscure territorial dispute as well as bad blood between frontiersmen families):

Public Enemy #1 - Waco Warhawks (we haven't forgotten the Alamo either)

Second Bananananana - a tie between the Utah Bees and the Vegas Outlaws. Both geographic rivals and both demonstrating extremes of moral and ethical insanity.

That is all.

Portland's rival is easily Washington.

[Heelfan71]

the power ratings will be changing constantly too......... Dealing with injuries etc.

[Acid]

Portland's rival is easily Washington.

Likewise.

I'm going to give Roger Boren a bonus for each player of your's he injures.

Man, did I get put in a tough division!
According to the power rankings, we are starting the season in the top ten (#9), but Las Vegas and San Francisco are both ranked higher than me!!!

It's going to be one tough division. (but, we're used to that, right Rubisco?)

Naturally, I'm going to rival my division but I'm going to cross some more statelines and declare war with both West divisions. Bring it on bitches!

I love it when you talk dirty big boy. You can cross my state line any old time.

I have to beat Utah. I have to beat Utah. I have to beat the Titans. . . I have to beat. . . Utah. . . I have to beat Cotton. . .

That and I'm going hot and heavy after Los Alamos. They are wearing the biggest target in our Division.

That and I have to beat Denver.

I figure if I sweep Denver, sweep Utah, and can split with Los Alamos, I'll have another Division Crown. So, that's the goal. Breakin out the brooms for Utah and Denver and shootin for a split against the Monsters.

They do the Mash. . .the monster mash. . .

Looks like we will have a solid defense that can hopefully keep us in most ballgames.

Our offense needs some time to develop.

1) If we reran the draft, there are many variables that could change things drastically. There is no range that could be predicted.

2) I've seen PR's change fairly dramatically during the season. They are primarily based on roster strengths, but that is far from the only factor. I've seen low PR teams surprise and high PR teams flop. A PR of 20 certainly doesn't mean the season is over, but it is an indicator that a team will likely be facing an uphill battle.
