Rankings Game

[wilwhite]

This is a thread for the MBBRL Rankings Game.

This year we'll rank 24 QBs and 36 RBs, and score them by how far off they are off from reality through the whole season. Higher ranks will be weighted more heavily than lower ranks (so the lowest-ranked will barely make a difference).

Scores are bigger the closer you are, get smaller as you get to zero at six spots off, and then go increasingly negative - so going way wrong in your top picks costs you big time, just as it does in fantasy. Gotta get 'em in by September 1st.

(Passing TDs counted at 6 pts.)

For fun we'll throw in some experts from the major sites.

Last year's champ was Ram Tough.

-- probably should have waited until the deadline for injuries/depth battles to wash out... but what the heck! these rankings are a little skewed from my TKO Punches Rankings, which were made a month ago due to some changing of the mind, and some due to this format also.

Cheers... and you're the man, Will, I can barely understand you let alone calculate everything, well done!

Hey Wil, I forget some of the rules.

Did we rank guys just based on typical NFL statistics? Or was it standard scoring, fantasy-based?

Not sure if it's allowed, but I'd like to make a small change here. I would like to insert, Brandon Weeden @ 19 for Phillip Rivers (who is kicked out of the top 24).

Gotta get 'em in by September 1st.

You'll get mine August 31.
