The ROF is still looking strong.

Apparently, our first ever 3-0 start isn't enough to crack the top 10, even with our smothering Red Zone defense.

Question from the new guy. How are these calculated?

Sorry, saw Honolulu at 13 and was thinking it was us. Duh!

Ok, at 3-0 and the fewest Red Zone points allowed, I can't believe we barely cracked the top 10. How's that?

Exactly. I'm so used to dealing with you manginas that I'm considering a switch...

FFF can answer better than me, but here's a thread discussing the rankings:

You're right, I did not post my usual 'first ranking of the season speech'. So here goes:

For those newcomers to the CFL and unfamiliar with the FFF rankings, these are based strictly on a formula using stats pulled straight from the game, eg wins and losses, points scored for and against, turnover ratio, in-game power rankings and a bastardised strength of schedule. I only input the data into my spreadsheet, ie I have no power over the outcome.
They are relative rankings, basically comparing your team stats to the rest of the league. They are not THE definitive rankings, at the end of the season the best team is winner of the CFL Bowl, not the team ranked #1 in the rankings. The main point is just to spark off discussion and add to the league in general.

Thanks FFF. I'm pretty much ranked where I should be.

You do have a great defense, but your poor offense is dragging you down (ranked 28th before the week 4 game), as well as a middle of the road FOF in-game power ranking.

Also not helping you is the fact that the teams you've played so far have a combined 2-10 record.
