Anybody see the QRF rankings on minnesota-scores.net
Personally, I think they are a bit off (putting it kindly). I don't think minnesota-scores.net is a hockey site, it's good for scores, but leave the rankings to the professional like PS2.

That's why they play them on the ice and not on paper! Thats also why they are called "rankings" and not "results".
If you took 100 "experts" and sat them down individually and had them rank the top 20 in each class, I bet you would get 100 different results, with none duplicating either the QRF of the PS2 system. Everyone has different perceptions and reasoning methods.
The PS2 uses the previous season's results and therefore always has a number for each team. Then that number and the number of the opponent is used, along with the outcome of the game.
With the QRF, it just uses classes. Beating Moorhead 7-2 is the same as beating North St Paul 7-2.
By the end of the season, both are generally right on.
Just like the BCS, NBA power rankings, etc, nothing is perfect. They all use their own criteria and are all "right" for what they use.

While you were "not wasting your time on me" responding in this thread three times and responding to my PMs saying you're not going to waste your time responding to me you could have spent less time on one response explaining yourself...
