Hello folks, here are your last FFF team rankings for this regular season 2005.
To no-one's surprise, the best team in the regular season, ie the #1 ranked team, is clearly Honolulu and they will surely be the team to beat on the road to CFL Bowl III. Honolulu was never ranked any lower than 3rd this season and were ranked #1 7 out 14 weeks. Congrats to the Blue Pacific!
At the other end of the spectrum, the Goat of the Year award goes to Seattle, finishing 2-14 for a #32 ranking. The ThunderBirds were never able to reach better than #26 and were ranked dead last 8 weeks out of 14.
Without further ado, here are your rankings:

Best possible score: 213 points
Worse possible score: -215 points
Note: Division winners are
bolded, and wild cards are in
blue.
Note2: I played around with the idea of giving bonus points to playoff teams but finally decided against it. These rankings are for the regular season only and after all, it's not necessarily the best 12 teams that make the playoffs. It's only a matter of being in the right place at the right time...(case in point, Frogman whose team Sacramento failed to reach the playoffs despite a 10-6 record and being ranked #9, will have to watch the playoffs on TV in lovely Quebec...)
