Each card leads with the number that made it a story — read straight out of their results, no editorialising.
Brisket is where the weekend gets away from them — it averages 11.22 points below their pork, and turns into a call 0% of the time against 20%.
The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
102 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
Careers of much the same size, 5 contests to 5, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
