Sorry about the radio silence last week, but when the job you actually get paid for starts draining your energy it’s hard to participate in the job that you don’t get paid for. And putting together these Word Press grids are more cumbersome than you may imagine, so I’ve been dreading trying to write somethingContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 20”

No need for any fancy narrative this week. Some of us suck, some of us don’t. Evidence below: Ben Jon Liam Luke Rich Riley Ryan Toronto 0-0 Greenville 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 Richmond 1-0 Tucson 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 Chattanooga 1-1 Madison 0 0 0 3 3 0 0Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 18”

Last week’s results around the league allowed for a whole lot of movement. Some of us, like myself, decided to noticeably not take advantage: Ben Jon Liam Luke Rich Riley Ryan North Carolina 4-0 Richmond 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 New England 1-0 Toronto 0 3 3 1 3 0 1 Chattanooga 1-1Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 17”

So the action this past week was fairly exciting, even if some of the better matches this past week were just really, really interesting ways to get to a draw. That doesn’t do much for us in the ratings department, as you’ll see below: Rank Team Rating 1 Union Omaha (7-5-1) 2.104 2 Chattanooga RedContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 17”

Last week was just an incredible, topsy-turvy week with the WGaH predictions competition. If that would have been a decision day for us, it would have probably led to violence. But instead, we can marvel at Rich’s comeback and Ben’s ascension, and worry about the following week. Ben Jon Liam Luke Rich Riley Ryan ChattanoogaContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 16”

This week’s ratings saw an unexpected seismic shift, as well as the introduction of an overall general look that I was expecting we’d see around this time. Here’s a quick look before I expand: Rank Team Rating 1 Union Omaha (6-5-1) 1.975 2 Chattanooga Red Wolves (6-5-1) 1.579 3 Greenville Triumph (6-4-3) 0.958 4 ForwardContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 16”

Luke’s undeterred hatred of Chattanooga, and my totally independent decision to include last weekend’s continental finals has bunched up our table considerably. Let’s take a look at what it actually did: Ben Jon Liam Luke Rich Riley Ryan New England 1-0 Toronto 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 Chattanooga 2-2 Tucson 0 0 0Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 15”

We had our lightest schedule by far since I’ve started publishing my ratings. Let’s see how much movement there was with a third of the league sitting idle this past weekend: Rank Team Rating 1 Union Omaha (6-4-1) 2.127 2 Chattanooga Red Wolves (5-4-1) 1.598 3 Greenville Triumph (6-4-2) 1.346 4 Forward Madison (4-4-3) 0.647Continue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 15”

Last week was an interesting one; multiple matchups where teams highly rated were pitted against each other, and a couple of teams with multiple matches that led to equally poor results. Here are the current USL League One ratings, followed by a summary from the previous week: Rank Team Rating 1 Union Omaha (6-4-1) 2.126Continue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 14”

Wow, there are ways to suck, and there are ways to really suck. The entire team cumulatively blanked nearly half the slate. It would have been more than half had Riley not been bold and predicted Madison with a quick turnaround rematch win against New England, a club that let most of the pod downContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 14”
