MRI Football 2011 - Rankings Week 8
November 15, 2011 | By Benjamin Miraski
Only one note on the rankings this week.
I do all of these rankings by hand, and I have a lot of other things that I contribute to, including the job that pays me all the money that I earn (MRISports is not the money maker you would expect).
One of the aspects of the rankings that used to be a big part of my original newsletter was the "Teams people might care about".
Well, sorry, but you will have to hope your team does well enough to crack the Top 25 from now on. That section takes longer than assembling the top 25 each week, and the time is frankly not there any longer.
Plus I am not even sure some of the people who originally read that section for their team even read this anymore.
So from now on, we will list the top 25 with the related stats, and the teams dropped. We will also list the next 10 teams in the rankings in order, with no stats.
At least then you will know if your team is getting close.
Sorry if this offends anyone, but given that a lot of sites have gone pay in the last few years, and I have resisted, although added more ads, I think it is a fair trade-off.
Enjoy all the rankings in Week 8 of the MRI.
