CHIRP was last year's ranking right? What has changed in the ORCHID besides it kicking CHIRP's ass?
CHIRP is less about deserving and more about the stats. It does not take losses into account when ranking, while ORCHID does. They both use two of the same inputs (effective offense/defense) , but ORCHID also uses losses. I can probably sum up as follows:
CHIRP is a better predictor of who should win (its a ranking of how dangerous a team is regardless of losses)
ORCHID is a better ranking of who has accomplished the most so far.
