I measure 6 things to develop my rankings. A perfect team would have 6 power points. The worst team would have 192. It usually starts off wacky but the cream seems to rise to the top as we move from week to week. They are bunched up in groups right now. That's because the cream hasn't had enough games to rise to the top yet.I have every confidence that it will as we move along. It has for years.
These are the new rankings after the week 7 games.
For those who don't understand, any team above would currently be favored over any team ranked below them
Looks like they have divided up into A,B,C,and D teams right now.

Does he have a time frame on when his rankings will be worth a shit? What is the point of these rankings if it takes until the end of the season for them to be useful? Especially when he says they are reflective of the regular season only and worthless for the playoffs. Also especially when he says players like Peyton Manning have a tendency to make his rankings have even more holes than normal.
I bet an MSB human poll could just as easily come up with A B C and D groups.
what is really funny is I quit posting the rankings because of people whining about them and rondo asked for them to come back on the help board
No one seems to be able to figure out week after week that it is just a stats ranking compilation, there is no human element to it whatsoever, the scores are not a factor because it is NOT A POLL. It is simply a compilation of how well you play in 6 categories and how that play ranks versus the rest of the league
THAT'S IT, there is nothing else to it but the monkeys on the MSB can't grasp the difference between a ranking and a poll so they just screech at anything and everything

You're the one giving it legitimacy by making it an official blog post. If this was just a thread started by any other poster he'd probably end up being ignored after he'd taken his lumps. And my comments weren't meant to be taken as SUPER SERIOUS, I just don't see why you liked it enough to bring it here in the first place. I don't think Buddy did a very good job of defending his system, in fact he pretty much admitted to all the flaws, pointed out a few more and said, "just wait til near the end of the season". What moron can't tell who the good and bad teams are by the end of the season?

I use this ranking to help me with my survivior pic'em. I narrow it down to three and use this to determine my best choice. It's worked so far.
I also like to read these threads and how much you (Supa) get your panties in a wad over other posters getting their panties in wad. It makes decent comedy.

Except that a very dumb human picked which stats to look at and how to haphazardly assign a point value from 1 to 32 marginalizing how much better some teams are than others and over separating teams in the middle with similar numbers, then using that crappy evaluation system as a judgement to rank the teams from 1 to 32.
Another thing I don't like about this blog is that he only picks the obvious games that anyone with a right mind would be able to pick but the games that could go either way, he stays away from.
Which in return is the main way his record of predicting games is so good.
