it seems this system would reward teams that have had blowout games. For instance, Green Bay's blowout over the Saints, and Chicago's blowout over Detroit and the Vikes. I think if there was some way to consider point stacking late in the game (teams behave very differently when they're behind - they become one dimensional)... and there'd be more variability early on in the season based on the teams they play. Again, using the terrible NFC north division as an example - the Bears, Lions, and Packers are higher than perhaps they should be because they play in such weak divisions - and have an easier schedule.
...just an idea - but I think this is pretty cool. |

No ranking will ever be perfect. It will tighten up as the season progresses because the stats will "web" together tighter. It does take into consideration how a team played against each opponent based on scoring but not whether it won or lost against them. For example, right now SD is higher than Pitt and Pitt beat them on the road. Same goes for Pitt and New England. New England beat them on the road. It takes into account every game rather than each individual game.
Bah, it's jsut interesting. And as I said, it will tighten up as more games are played and the tangled "web" becomes tighter. For now, it is what it is. |
