		<description>I got a chuckle out of the sponsorship representation ;), trying to determine who was who was fun also.

Something I didn&#039;t realize was only 5 of 14 teams lack a titlle sponsor, one of the being an expansion this season.  Not sure which way to judge this impact to the league&#039;s/team&#039;s staying power.  Is it a benifit to each so money can be spent elsewhere, or is it a need due to lack of revenue.?.?.?</description>

		<description>Ric,
First of all, it&#039;s called a sense of humor, I suggest you look into one.  Secondly, as explained previously, the Power Rankings employ a formula to determine relative team strength using a variety of measures, things that transcend simple win/loss records.  Strenght of opponent, home vs away, etc.</description>

		<description>Okay, using sponsors was a really bad idea for this.  Very confusing but I do see #4 FCD when they really have the 8th best record.</description>
