Just another guy's one-week rankings, so have a look and if you find them useful, great. It not, that's fine too. Comments welcome, but I'm off to other things rather than debating them.
One thing -- someone last week said "it doesn't seem like you went out on a limb at all." I don't know if that's true or not because I never really think about whether I'm going out on a limb. This is about setting a lineup with the best chance of winning, and if that means rankings that end up aligning similarly with published "expert" rankings, I don't see why that's a problem.
Have a great weekend everyone.
