2 years ago when I decided that I did not like his system his webpage stated that as all teams become "connected" this data becomes "insignificant". i never was satisfied with his explaination that the old values had no effect. Now his website says "but once the teams are all CONNECTED, then the starting ratings are no longer used." So to me it looks like he improved his rankings from previous years. I'll update my descriptor post to say "I do not use previous season data like some other rankings used to". That will be a more accurate statement.
