I remember the BB's saying Rank is made up of several things. And is an overall indicator of all of them instead of just purely how good their max BBstats is.

1) Is strength of your teams ratings and opponents ratings in a given game

2) Overall consistency with your team and your opponents (so you or your opponent tanking are bad)

3) Trends. It's supposed to do some numbers magic to determine if your team is "on the rise" and will inflate your rank a bit to indicate your team is "going places". When I was in D2, I was ranked 5th in USA for half a season after losing in the Finals, I asked one of the BB's or possibly GM-Jason about it. The rankings system determined I was the best bet to promote out of D2 from any of the other D2 teams, so I was officially "on the rise" and "going places".

At one point like 5 or 6 seasons ago, II.4 had 3 teams in the Top 10 in USA. They basically got there because of #2, nobody in the league was ever tanking a game.

That is the best win in my team's history and will be hard to top. Hopefully I can find some time to at least watch the second half on.

I REALLY NEED TO GET RID OF RISO HE MAKES A BILLION DOLLARS A WEEK AND FOULS OUT OF EVERY GAME THAT MATTERS

ok now that I got that out of my system, yeah, all the rankings are pretty much garbage. It feels like it's 80% based on cup and 15% based on league playoffs, then shaken not stirred.

I'm still here, no one used the free unconditional TIEs I offered. I don't know if I should be offended or thankful. Actually I'm happy to say that everyone in the NBBA is an offsite member! Go cabal!

Idk how to motivate you guys. How about this, instead of getting unconditional TIEs from me since basically who cares I kinda suck anyway, if you buy a legit US NT player or prospect, now wozz will owe you an unconditional TIE!!! Thanks wozz for volunteering.

Seriously though, deal still stands, I owe you an unconditional TIE or PON in a future game of your choice if you buy an American NT player or prospect.

Anyway, here's the updated who I owe TIEs to standings (or basically who is the most patriotic standings):

jfarb owes you a future TIE or PON standings

Brian: half of the NT roster, +3 TIEs
Wozz: Casillas, Good, Carino, got me involved with NT (+4), you trained Villapadierna (-1). +3 TIEs
Calum: Anglin 4m, Owens 2.5m, 2 silver club member...+2 TIEs
Namssor: Luther, Billingsley, assistant coach, I didn't beat Sharon that one time...+2 TIEs
Rambo: U21 Gold (+2), assistant coach (+1), that one thing that happened in Canada (-1). +2 TIEs
Failboat: Trained Owens (+1), called out my dbaggery (+1), +2 TIEs
Coco: Nielsen, Bland, Ferland, Americas Gold (+4), you're Italian (-1), injured AJ (-1) +2 TIEs
mfork: awesome offsite tools +2 TIEs
magiker: U21 Gold, +2 TIEs and a PTBNL
Harper: trained Ritter and Good, owned Maples +2 TIEs
Steve: All American team and Boudreaux...+1 TIE and a future 2nd round draft pick
SM: Dennison +1 TIE
Coach Monroe: Sullivan, Cutler +1 TIE
Sleet: Offsite help and chat powers (+2), ur Sleet (-1)...+1 TIE
Peluin: D2 good times, you beat BB-Charles for me in the playoffs = +1 TIE
Jason: Bland +1 TIE
Guy who trained Bronson and Medrano: +1 for Medrano, -1 for Bronson
cws: owned Hurst plus good times in D2 +1 TIE
Czobo: yea right you owe me a TIE...-1 TIE

Ha, this is great. If only we're ever in the same league again...

And in keeping with the theme of this thread, a certain USA NT PG is on the TL. Get at me if you're interested and can't afford it, I'd prefer he stay in the motherland of course.

8 of the 15 players on the NT are USA owned, 6 in NBBA

If anyone is training OD and is interested, probly 1 more OD would put him on NT shortlist, this guy on sale: (22084927)
I should note that he is probably very very close to capping?? Sold for 1.25m in the offseason, guessing will go for 2ish??? I'm bad at estimating TL.
