'02 FBR Rankings 05-10-12

Thanks for the work, appreciate your time.

Hey, the Saints are not getting enough respect! 13 is way too low. Shouldn't they be top 10 by now? Where's all the Saint posters?

I heard 2 of the top 20 teams have broken apart nd are done. Anybody with first hand knowledge?

There have been many changes, from teams merging to coaching changes. You would prolly have to be more specific

BWG, how much movement was there last year in the last 90 days before QT on the rankings? How locked do you think the top 30 is?

Last year, enough to make a difference...

Princess Warriors (independent team that was in the 7-12) range throughout U11 merged with TFC '01 (5-6) in May.
Fusion Navy (Top 12) had a core defection of 4-5 players to Tx. Spirit (20-25) which basically flip-flopped these teams in terms of strength.
Sting Shephard (Top 15) imploded on June 1st. Players scattered and rounded out rosters on multiple LH D1/D3 teams.

There were about 6-7 teams ranked between 25-40 in May that were nowhere to be found come July.

Sting East and Kicks East were on no-one's radar at the start of May. Sting East qualified D1, Kicks East qualified D3.

Sting West (O'Keefe) and FC Dallas (Pratt) were the 2 consensus top 25 teams that didn't qualify for LH.

My guess is that the current Top 30 is probably about 80% set, and by the start of QT (after May-July tourneys are taken into account) it will be closer to 90%.

Wow, someones taking this ranking business pretty serious!

Who knew that FBR was considered "official"?

Thanks! Just spent the last few minutes cleaning my laptop screen off. I spewed soda out when I saw/read this! Ha! I appreciate the work that gophers does. The thing is an addition or two to some of these teams can change the play pretty drastically... QT will tell!

I love acronyms. We use them in our household all the time. Love it when driving some kids home from practice and my daughter asks what we are going to eat. I reply with CRAP. The other kids in the car are horrified when my daughter giggles and says... oh, we aren't really eating crap... it stands for Chicken, rice, and potatoes. Poop - Pepperoni, olives, onion pizza Caca - Cornedbeef and Cabbage, etc

FuBaR!
