BearOil: The Expected Group?
Since Matchday 1, when the Greens made an excellent XXXVIII debut in Matchday 1 to the form they're keeping now: Are the groups getting more predictable?
Of course, the answer would be an astounding yes. This is the reason why pots and organized group placements exist: to keep everything in order. But one such group in the competition has had a surge of dominance between TWO teams that will face tomorrow. One team is Geektopia, a fledgling, amateur football team who have struggled to maintain status in ranking and play style. In the Pots, they barely even made it to the second out of four but are striking pundits across Geektopia as an actual team, with the potency to qualify as group runners-up.
A highly-held team in their own regard to the gridiron world, Ranoria has taken no prisoners in their last three, predicted to come out as expected group victors and onto the R16. The abnormality of this all is that BearOil are the only group as of far to have two undefeated national teams ranked by pot order. But is normality really taking over gridiron? Let's see in a calculation we like to call PDPG. "This is a stupid formula, of course the better ranked teams are going to come through by a landslide on Point Difference Average!". We'll see about that, you heckler.
AllMart Group:
Ranked: +21 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -21 PD Average over 3 games
BearOil Group:
Ranked: +40 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -40 PD Average over 3 games
Dixon Light Group:
Ranked: +15 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -15 PD Average over 3 games
ECM Group:
Ranked: +29 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -29 PD Average over 3 games
FreedomCola Group:
Ranked: +43 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -43 PD Average over 3 games
Nicholis Enterprises Group:
Ranked: +1 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -1 PD Average over 3 games
O'Reilly Group of Greatness:
Ranked: +24 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -24 PD Average over 3 games
Sporting World Group:
Ranked: +36 PD Average over 3 games
Unranked: -36 PD Average over 3 games
Well, that guy was right, but only by 1 point! Nicholis Enterprises seems to have no control of where it's going, with ranked and unranked teams present all across the board! Let's hope for a forth round upset on this one! BearOil just loses out to FreedomCola in terms of predictability rating, and everyone in the top 4 seems to have their shit together.
