Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=166&t=8547)
The correct answer choice is (B).
The condition in the question stem establishes that F is ranked third. According to our discussion of the sequence, R is the only other team that can be ranked first, and so R must be first:
The second ranked team can be difficult to deduce, but the sequence helps determine who is available:
Answer choice (A) is incorrect because S must rank second.
Answer choice (B) is possible, and is therefore correct.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect because S must rank second.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect because S must rank second.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect because from the last rule G is more productive than T, and therefore T can rank fifth at best.

The second ranked team can be difficult to deduce, but the sequence helps determine who is available:
G is not available because from the first rule F is more productive than G.
H is not available because from the fourth rule S is more productive than H.
Thus, only S can be second, and G, H, and T must fill in the final three spaces while remaining in accordance with the last rule:T is not available because from the first rule F is more productive than G, and from the last rule G is more productive than T.
Answer choice (A) is incorrect because S must rank second.
Answer choice (B) is possible, and is therefore correct.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect because S must rank second.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect because S must rank second.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect because from the last rule G is more productive than T, and therefore T can rank fifth at best.
