I think it goes further than the relegation match. I was surprised to see a team promote into my division I series this season and already have a ranking of 5, ahead of my 8th ranking, in spite of the fact that I was a playoff team in division I last season.

But I beat him on Saturday and now I am the 7th ranked team. ;-)

the ranking goes about few seasons, and is based heavily on the cup where you was pretty succesful ;) but thats another thing.

I think you misunderstood me. I was complaining that my ranking was too low, based on a division II team that just promoted. The division II team has a ranking of 5 vs my 8 to start the season? I did better than him in the cup last season and the season before we went just as far. In fact, I knocked off some heavy hitters (by Canadian standards) in the cup the past two season whereas he had an easier road.

Sure, he had a perfect record in division II last season where I was 12-10 in division I. But I still think something is wrong when a promoting team ranks #5 in the country. He should have to earn that ranking by beating higher ranked teams first.

Why all of you want higher rank? What is influenced by it? I know only one major disadvantage of higher ranking, but don't know the advantages.

Rankings, in all sports and situations, creates competition, and people like to win! Therefore they like to get a higher ranking.
