The 180 done on these rankings is laughable.Flames go from 30th to 22nd to 9th. 22nd 2 weeks ago after they win 7 straight and then they lose 4 straight and go up to 9th.

Edit: they are obviously just trying to save face after botching the last rankings 2 weeks ago.

Someone probably recieved a stern talking to after the last rankings, hence the complete overhaul.

A marketing tactic! Bungle up one week with a train wreck, people will show up in the following weeks to see if #### is straightened out.

It never ceases to amaze me that people still get all worked up over meaningless, click bait, power rankings.

I think it is more along the lines of getting "worked up" over the absurdity of these ones. You have to admit it: on practically every level what The Score published is patently ridiculous.
