not to take credit away from any of the long island teams that have made it onto the rankings board, but those rankings are insane. i know how the ratings work but to see teams with impressive records rated so low shows some flaws in this system. seeing teams with 5-4 record in the top ten is just fool.
Looks like LI teams not traveling down to play MD teams helped them a lot. The algorithm seemed to like them playing each other. 5-4 and ranked 5th over two mid Atlantic teams who only lost to heros is fool to me. But kudos to LI teams. Summer they will have to prove those top 5 rankings.
algorithm doesn't change. playing a high opponent strength score and achieving a high goal differential is all that matters. doesn't matter where you travel (unless you're someone who can't find high strength scores locally)
