How are the War Rankings working?

SUMMARY: Before starting of the last war season our alliance was ranked 125 in Gold 1, we fought 12 wars this season out of which we won 8(7 in Tier 6 and 1 in Tier 5), we lost 4 of these(1 in Tier 5 and 3 in Tier 6.
Yet, we finished this season again in Gold 1 with exactly the same rank 125,
Not sure how this makes sense, Apparently we did not get to play many tier 5 wars even after winning the last 5-6 wars on a trot we only got the last war as tier 5(won) and probably the first war of the season was also tier 5(lost).
Will somebody please care to explain how exactly this is happening? Does this mean all the alliances who were above us in ranking last season, all of them have won more than 8-9 wars this season?
Sounds quite unbelievably ridiculous to accept after so much of hard work for the last few seasons to push for Plat4.
If we won 1 and lost 1 T5 war, and then won 7 t6 wars, the overall outcome should have been improved significantly since we won about 66% of the total number of wars.
Any insight would be helpful.

If you lost the first war of the season, then went 8-3 for the remainder of the season, you would have gained 160 war rating from your victories (8 x ~20 war rating) and lost 120 war rating from your losses (-60 for the first war, and another -60 for the other 3 losses). For the season, that would result in a net gain of 40 war rating (less than 1 victory in a normal season). Hence why you're seeing yourself around the same rank this season.
Our alliance went a perfect 12-0 this season. We started out in Tier 10 and ended up in Tier 7 at the end of the season. Had we gone on a winning streak during a regular season, we would have increased to Tier 7 by war 4 or 5, and there's no way we would have been able to win all 12 wars.
In their original announcement, they said that this issue affected "all alliances equally," so I wouldn't anticipate any adjustments for this issue.
