I'm sure you're waiting for this question, so I'll end your anticipation...
Why did DT South drop so far?  My guess would be that their strength of schedule is hurting them and the teams they've beaten are losing to lower ranked teams.
Are they still in tier 1?

One big gain (I think related to inaccurate record in last FBR) and two big drops in points in the top 10.  It would be nice to see what the tiers are.

Lady Aztecs point climb was due to assigning some tournament results from Memorial Day weekend to the "A" team that should have been assigned to the "B" team.  That was corrected this week, which is the reason for that change (i.e. they shouldn't have dropped in the first place).

The DT South drop is a numbers thing, based on a convergence of about 3 different factors:
- Their win against Lady Aztecs "A" (Tier 2) on 5/26 was reassigned as a win against Lady Aztecs "B" (Tier 5)
- While LFS has been playing good teams close, they have lost a majority of those games, so they actually have a poor WW/WL record.  LFS accounts for 33% of DT South's current opponents (2 out of 6 games against '04's), so when LFS lost 2 games this past weekend, it had a larger than normal impact on DT South's Strength of Schedule.
- Again, since DT South has played a small # of games (6) against '04's in the past 16 weeks, the combination of the two factors above resulted in very large hit to DT South's Strength of Schedule.

 Kenneth Penn took over coaching.

So Penn is now coaching Fever United 05, Grosser has moved and is now coaching Mutiny FC 05, and Celtic FC 05 is apparently no more as most of the team has gone over to LFS.  The most recent rumors are that a team whose name rhymes with Fosmos Flack 05 is no more.  Is this the summer of change?
