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.





1. pats........45
2. broncos.....48
3. saints......50
4. packers.....52
5. giants......55

10. vikings.....75

Pats were beat by the number 2 team and are above both the colts and saints who are undefeated. I dont get it.

The bengals beat 3 of the teams listed ahead of them. Just for the record. And should have beaten a fourth.

These inane rankings posted as an official TD blog make the site look cheap IMO

Does he have a time frame on when his rankings will be worth a shite? 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.

the thing i dont get is the favored thing, the saints would be favored over the broncos, the ravens ARE favored over the broncos.

No way the packers would be favored over the colts or steelers.

Just add me to the list of those who dont get it, any team that doesnt have the saints #1 seems off.

Supa, if you want to just post the blog and not make a thread about it that would probably reduce the backlash.

I get the feeling that his Pats number is really skewed by two straight blowouts of bad teams

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.


It's an admission that over the years anytime two teams are within 4 slots of each other they end up splitting the wins and losses

Instead of bitching, why don't you decide to learn something?
The week 7 rankings admitted 2 games were too close to call

the rest of the games went 9-2-

evidently that's not worth a shite to tigerinatlanta

does he think the giants being ranked above the cardinals
was wrong when they went out and turned the ball over 4 times?

does he think the bears being ranked above the bengals was wrong?
not if he read my blogs. When the bears played the lions, they cleaned up
on the numbers I measure and that pushed them up the ladder temporarily.

At the same time, the bengals played down to their competition when they
played the lions and gained no points so they didn't rank well.
I have been saying the bengals record was out of order with their
efficiency number and something had to give. This week it did, and they
have moved way up in the rankings for next week.

Why supatigah keeps posting my hobby on your board, I have no idea.
I wouldn't give you the time of day.Seems to be a lot of
tiny little minds encapsulated with emotion with no football
common sense.

I wanted to see what the rankings Buddy does would look like with a SOS component so i added the overall 2009 strength of schedule rank from espn LINK to make 7 categories. This is what week 7 rankings would have looked like with a SoS component:

1) Pats 48
2) Saints 58
3) Giants 65
4) Broncos 67
5) Colts 70

6) Eagles 81
7) Packers 82
8) Cowboys 86
9) Jets 89
9) Dolphins 89
11) Steelers 91
12) Ravens 100
13) Vikes 106
14) Bengals 107
14) Panthers 107
16) Falcons 112
17) Cardinals 119
18) Chargers 120
18) Texans 120
20) Redskins 122

21) Jags 126
22) Bills 128
23) Seahawks 129
24) 49ers 131
25) Titans 145
26) Bucs 150
27) Bears 153
28) Lions 167
29) Chiefs 173
30) Raiders 175
31) Rams 179
32) Browns 192
the only way I know how to rank strength of schedule during the ongoing season would be to compute the opp's winning % for each team for each week then rank them 1-32

I will try that with the week 8 rankings and see what it looks like
