Top Five Power Rankings


Ya'll have been hounding me about it. Countless texts that go like this, "Dave, where are the power rankings?" or "Dude, DAVID I NEED POWER RANKINGS!" I know how you feel. Yahoo sucks. It basically just takes your record and wins and mashes it together (it probably does a little more than that, but Marissa Mayer wouldn't open up the backdoor and let me take a look). So, what did we do at Hyde Labs? We did some simple math. Thanks, Steven for helping me with the post. Also, take a watch of clip from the movie Top Five, which features one of the top five rappers and comedians OF ALL TIME. Its all about fives. Give me a five next time you see me if you like this post.

TOP FIVE TEAMS:
1) Brent
2) Cameron
3) Sean
4) Jamie
5) Scott H

You'll notice that Yahoo has it like this:
1) Brent
2) Sean
3) Cameron
4) Jamie
5) Myself

I felt some validation that my top five was pretty darn close to what Yahoo has. So here is whats behind the calculation... Average Pts Scored, Beating Projections, Wins, Average Pts Against, Number of times scored over 100. Each one is weighted and added together. Here is the actual calculation: (Average Pts Scored/High*.45)+(Beating Projections/High*.2)+(Wins*Average Pts Against*.05)+(Number of times scored over 100/High*.3).  The high is the max of the sample set. So lets say someone scored over 100 4 x's, then that is the max. And yes, we tried to correlate pts against and wins... I didn't want to award someone for getting their butt kicked! LOLZ

Look, you can't argue with my order of operations. I have done my work.
