This week is the beginning of what we think might be some tectonic shifts in the rankings as we are going back through and reviewing our original rankings, the results we have seen since then, and factoring in things like expectations and the various CCL teams and how they have handled what has historically been a very real influence on the early part of the season for some squads. Before we go into the actual rankings, allow us some time to give more insight into the process a little more than usual and pull the veil back on some broader ideas.
