Not a lot of movement. DT Higgy has established itself as top team. FCD Red jumped 2 spots with big win over Solar East. Defeeters move up with nice tie with Fever Red. Fever White makes entry into poll and DT Vigil drops out of top 20.

Nice.

Vigil can play tough. I bet they make it make back in the top 20 soon. Still pretty new team I think.

Thx Rage....looks good

Agreed higgy is top for now. SRSA and FCD still very close .Game between the two will solidify second place. Tournament play comes around it could be scrambled again. Higgy plays South this weekend, they are good and could beat them if they dont take thems seriously. I think SRSA and FCD only have one maybe two strong games left to play. Scedule didnt permit but a HIGGY/Bennett rematch would have been nice to see also.

Roid, here's where i'll try and disagree and make a defense for another sting team (parker)

They beat XLR8
They've handled the same opponents as O'Keefe and in the same manner.
And are soon to play Fever White.

Strength of schedules almost identical, and this was a point provided to 02Dad who's doing an amazing job w/ FBR.

Just a thought to put a plug in for another Sting team

The other concerns that are ranking related:
- because some of the teams only play, for example, Primetime and/or SDL, they don't see others from other leagues like UAL and EAL
- hard to pitch one against the other without some sort of crossover system
- hard to argue w/ the top 10-12 imo, though. they're all solid

Also Texas Spirit North seems to be playing pretty tough in the EAL league. Haven't played them or seen them play but they seem to be holding their own. South blew them out but not many teams below 10-12 in the rankings can expect to do much against South.

again, i find it difficult to really have an idea of who can do what when they playing field is not only even, but they're inconsistent.

Would be great to treat academy like LHGCL: get them all in the same league at U9 and start playing your way through the system until it's time for QT. Start with an Academy QT for placement, then for 2 years play your way through.

Maybe i can work on this

1 DT Higg
2 FCD Grubb
3 SRSA
4 DT Bennet
5 DT South
6 Sting Searls
7 Fever FC
8 DT Rangel
9 Solar Dynamo
10 Feet
11 Waco Lady Blast
12 Polaris
13 TFC Elite
14 TX Spirit North
15 DT Vigil
16 Solar East
17 FCD Renfro
18 Dynasty
19 Solar Tarrant
20 Sting Okeefe

I made some switches to my last weeks line up esp catching some games this weekend myself. I watch the TX Spirit vs Vigil game in EAL from about half way through the 1st half til end. I will say those 2 teams are evenly matched. Neither clearly dominated the game it was a back and forth battle. TXSN would score and just a few mins later DT would score to tie it up. TXSN got the winning goal with less then 1 min left on the clock. Both teams battled hard and looked good but defiantly evenly matched.

Fever United Red has played your #8,9,10 and 11 recently and from what I saw in those games I would rank them like this:

8. Rangel
9. TFC Elite
10. Sting Searls
11. Feet

Not sure how those teams have done against each other but based on the games they gave Fever Red, that is how I would rank them.

It was a great game! DT-Vigil had 5 girls out that day, so it was a little rougher and tougher than we thought it would be for us. But a lot of fun!

XLR8 #15. Really? No offense but I'm thinking no way. I just don't see that they have played tough enough teams to rank them that high. But to be fair, my dd hasn't played them so I haven't seen them first hand. You left off my dd team so that may be why I had to give you a hard time anyway

I agree Pro. Guess we'll just see how it all shakes out this summer at qualifying won't we?

Don't give away my trade secrets....besides, I like to stay somewhat anonymous...or at least mysterious. That way if I ever say anything stupid enough to make folks really mad at me on here...they won't know where to find me

IMO... Until Grubbs beats Webb, Webb is the number 2 team.

Why not the other way around. Until SRSA beats Grubb??
They both got beat by 1 point by DTX but SRSA was scored on twice.Will be heck of a game though.

Uh, because SRSA has beaten Grubb at least the last 2 times, maybe more Not following your logic either when you say they both lost by one, but SRSA gave up 2 goals. What does goals given up matter? What if the score was 4-3, are you saying that would make your point more? Not saying SRSA will win the next time they play, but I'm sure the point was the point head to head games, and Grubb hasn't beaten SRSA to my knowledge.
