Rankings are less relevant after NAL. The Hawks proved they were #1 and Express proved it was #2. Those two spots shouldn't be debated. After that it is more up in the air with Sweetlax and Towerman followed by others. Crabs moving to #5 after being in the consolation bracket is odd.

You can take your subjective debate and put it where the sun don’t shine. There’s a reason they count all the games in the calculations for the rankings and not just a head to head match up between 2 teams. You realize it isn’t just wins, it’s the quality of the wins and by how much. Computer takes the data and analyzes it and spits out a rating. And before you go off, I realize the game is decided between the lines. But the ratings make for good banter and give tourney organizers a way to even out brackets. And they use the same type of systems in college football, basketball, hockey and just about every other sport. Yes, the number one ranked team doesn’t always win the national championship. But there has to be some merit to it seeing as much higher levels of sport are using it. At the least, it’s has to be better than Joe LI and Joe MD trying to determine which team “looked” superior. Let’s try to be a little objective, shall we?

Objective is easy... Win Baby Win... The winner is the top team no matter how little they win by.
