Power Rankings Revisited

I have got it all wrong. I have to have. I have been thinking about my power rankings and it just doesn't feel right. It was missing something... crucial. Margin in victories. For a team to really stand apart is them crushing other teams. Let's pick on me for a second.

Do you really think my team is that good? I'm 4-2, but I am one of the worst teams scoring and have one of the easiest schedule (see below tables), yet I am in the top five in both yahoo and my joke of a power ranking... PLEASE. That is a sham! It as much of a sham as was Mark May lying to us. Oh, Mark, you thought I forgot?! You friggin liar!

Incorporating the margin of victory will surely enhance the power rankings. As a brief reminder, the power rankings includes: average points scored, margin of victory, number of times scored over 100 points, wins, beating projections, and average points against. 

1) Brent
2) Sean
3) Ben 
4) Dan
5) Jamie

As you can see, adding in that margin of victory really shook it up with Ben and Jamie moving up. Is it perfect? No. Hell, no. But I think its helluva lot closer. I'll keep tinkering.

  1. One thing that's been consistent is Jesse's team is really bad. Think that no matter what formula you used, that would always be true.
