[QUOTE="EllderIlliniFan, post: 1666401, member: 8114"] I have always thought that it is easier to maintain a ranking than to move up in rankings. A high ranking team can loose and only drop a bit. A low ranking team has to win several significant games before they are recognized by being ranked higher. Thus I believe it does matter where you start. Start high and maintain is easier than start low and climb. Just seems to be the way it is. Especially for teams expected to do well every year. They start high and have to loose several games before they are dropped out of the rankings. [/QUOTE]
