My guess is you guys were almost equal in war rating when the algorithm matched you but your team lost the last war and the other guys won theirs. This would account for the 100 pt difference in war rating

This would account for the 100 pt difference in war rating That's possible, but that shouldn't be happening. Higher tier alliances should be getting matched first, and thus starting earlier, and thus ending earlier, and as a result their war should have been over long before match making calculations started. If this were happening, we'd expect everyone's matches to be equally bad, but they aren't. I suspect this is happening because someone got a little too cute with the match making algorithm and instead of just matching top-down like they implied the system would do, the system is actually breaking up the alliances into war rating "bands" and then doing random matches within each band. This would be fine if the bands were narrow with all alliances having similar rating, but near the top I bet the bands are too wide and alliances are being matched against alliances anywhere within a range of alliances directly above and directly below them in rating-order. Fifty places higher than an 1800 rating alliance could be an 1820, but the same fifty places higher than a 2500 alliance could be a 2600 alliance.

Some wars may be even if both alliances win the previous or both win the previous war which keeps the war rating close. I'm not saying this is a good way for matchmaking but I was just trying to give an answer for the discrepancy in war ratings
