What doesn't though? Prestige, engine logic, new recruits, firings, rankings etc all... suck.

A long time ago, I suggested that WIS use an altered RPI formula for their rankings.  That way, they'd be close to the RPI list but not exact.

Could you add some context to what's going on here, I'm not in Iba. Nice to see that you too are a scrub pounder, not sure if you were one of the guys that griped at me for scheduling so many Sim AIs, but it would be ironic. I know rankings help determine prestige, etc. in this game, however you lately seem to pick on miniscule things and gripe about how they need work. If they got rid of the "human" rankings and just used RPI, I think that would be an improvement, because otherwise, they basically mean nothing.

I'm not in Iba either.  But from the look of things, Weena took an 11-loss Rhode Island team that finished 3rd in its division to a first-round CT loss but then a national championship.  The NC run came with wins over (final) RPIs 34, 13, 9, 2, 6, and 3; that's an unranked team and then (at time of game) #s 12, 6, 1, 12, and 2.

My system is where its at...because its basically what it is.

Yeah, but they just barely won most of those games...if I was voting in the poll I am not sure I would put them #1 despite winning the NT.
