Unfair war ratings

I'm getting really sick and tired of AW. Our last 5 matchups the opponent's war rating has been no less than 1,149 and as much as 1,323. Our Alliance's war rating is currently 977. How the hell is that fair? We are never going to win another war again at this rate.

My ally runs 1, and we're within +/-30 the vast majority of the time, at a similar war rating as yours.
Thanks for the tips. I may lower the number of BGs to 2 and see how it goes
