Debate - World footy rankings 2008 - other countries to consider

I understand your point that some kind of mathematical system might encourage teams to compete more or the AFL to do their own system, but I think it's unlikely to make much difference in either case - countries already like to compete, it's costs and player availability that hold them back quite often. And the AFL didn't jump to implement a system in response to ours. I think they recognise that there isn't enough data.

So I can see the motivation but I just can't agree with a system if it produces a completely invalid result. I guess we agree to disagree - you reckon lack of data means include data that is old to at least get a result, I reckon it's just including bad data to give bad results.
