RSL is at the 6 spot in the MatchNight in America poll as well.

The East sucks outside of DC.

A bigger gap than a few games ago? Maybe if you looked at the standings a couple weeks ago when LA had a loss. Both teams are 5-1-2 in their last 8 games. The gap is the same now as it was 8 games ago.

i'm not one for keeping up with all the stats every week. I just know a few weeks ago (i don't know how many) when RSL weren't as close to CDC and the rapids as they are now, it was much tighter between RSL and LA

Actually, I was wrong. LA is 5-2-1 in their last 8. RSL is 5-1-2 in their last 8. So LA's actually closed the gap in the last 8.

like i said i don't check the standings each week so i prolly just looked at it the week we lost and they won or something making the gap at that time smaller.

RSL, UT · 08-28-2006, 01:08 PM

Well, that was a short stay, we are back to #11.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Those power ratings are worthless. Don't look at them when there up. Don't look at them when there down.

Yes, but you're an idiot which makes it somewhat to very likely that people will ignore your advice.

I don't think I'd ignore them that much. They are intended to measure teams both on recent form and on strength of schedule.

RSL 11th? I know that was a big loss but if they have 4 games a season against the likes of the KC, Crew, Fire, and NE this year I'd think they'd have a lot more wins. The east stinks worse that Greeley.

We'll just all have to see what they say after we've won the championship! They might even rate as #10, after that. HE he he. I can hardly wait to see their faces.

Heck, I can hardly wait to see MY face, when that happens! Yahoo! Go RSL!
