New "Power Ranking" ???

[Bruceswar]

the big problem with these ranking its how can some clan rank other clan if they never play in clan chalenges? You have clans who dont play with half clans here,and what parameters they need to use in ranking? Guess that some clan are good are not any valid argument for ranking at all.

Simple you can look at who they played and how they played if you have not played them. If you have then you also know.

Meh. What's the point of having a system that everyone can acknowledge will be biased? So that whichever clans are more popular can have a higher ranking in a power ranking than a ranking system based on numbers and results? Even if only 10-15 people contribute their biased opinions those opinions are still exactly that - based on gut feelings and truthiness.

Fox does have a point here, but also we must also agree that numbers cannot tell you all. While the F 400 is good this could be added in as a supplement and a BCS style ranking be done. 75% F 400 and 25% Coaches poll. Stay tuned. The CD's have not totally killed this idea yet.

Interesting concept

When I was in the CLA there was talk of a ranking system like Bruce mentioned, I would like to see something like that happen.
As for now it seems there is not enough interest to go ahead with the project, that combined with the complication people brought up I dont think I will be moving ahead of this at this moment.

In the future if this becomes more in demand I will happily do it.

I think it would be very interesting to see, while simultaneously admitting that I would be useless in ranking clans myself. I would probably put us first, TOFU second, and then... I don't know. I just have a general, vague idea of which clans I consider the absolute best, which I consider to be "very good", and then the rest.

It would still be interesting to see, mind. Perhaps if clans put some effort into it, delegating the voting responsibility to whoever they think has the best idea about what goes on in the Clan world.

Will someone get a group together and get this done already?! I nominate jigger1986 to head up the group.

I would help if you need jigger

I have no problem running this, however the major concern (ie. so many clans, not enough support) it would be very hard.
BG has a good idea with the Coaches Poll, and I would maybe consider merging the two streams and pushing all effort into that idea.

However, if for some reason BG's idea falls through I will bring this back. It really isnt that hard, I would make it as simple as possible, but commitment from at least like 40 clans would be needed. The problem with that is that ranking 1-5 is easy, 6-15 is harder, 16-30 is even harder and 31-60 most people wouldnt attempt.
