I think if you're going to move teams up in your list you have to actually have to admit strength of schedule was significant, and you have to look at head to head results, and your ordering is hard to justify. Ducks1 played a tough schedule, but so did most of the teams in my Top flight list including Kings1, Blackhawks, JrFlyers and OCHC1. They ended up 1-2-1. How you think they ought to be ranked 3rd, does not compute. Meanwhile you think OCHC1 should be ranked 9th, when they beat the same Ducks1 team 4-2, and your 6th ranked GSE2 team 3-0?
All the Jr.Flyers games were competitive, and they had to play all '05 heavy teams. For example, they lost to OCHC1 3-2 while outshooting them, and lost a close game to the Blackhawks this morning 5-3 which included an empty netter, yet you ranked them behind a team they beat 7-2. Makes no sense. Now I get that the Gulls1 beat up OCHC1 and Ducks2 beat Gulls1 and we can go round and round on this but there are going to be exceptions and contrary position points, however, your ordering isn't really defensible. JD2 did play a tough schedule, GSE2 an easier one, but I have to point out things like:
GSE2 beat JD2 3-0, GSE2 Lost to OCHC1 0-3. Now, justify how JD2 should be ranked 8th over Saints1 and clearly a top flight pick? Seems JD-centric thinking to me.
It seems most everyone can agree that the Jamboree sucked, and at least for this year, the arbitrary 10 team limit looks like a bad idea, as many people predicted.
