Weekly NFL Power Rankings - Week 6

i am not going to blast you buddy, but you really should consider a W/L component in your formula.

for instance, how the bengals are behind the steelers and the ravens considering they beat both of them and have a better record is mind boggling.

Given the potential for gambling I would say the only aspect that is ignored that could weigh heavily is home/away.


For instance he has the Giants a little better than the Saints...but the game will be in NOLA.

yeah I was looking at that and i have been working on adding a home/away and w/l component to the calculation after week 6 to see how it stacks against the spread.

that will be interesting.

i have been doing that and also using the spread and I am doing ok so far

I've been wondering how it would look if you weighted the scores instead of using just integers. For example, a perfect team stll gets 1 point for being the best in a category and the worst team is set to 32, but then if two teams are very close in that statistical category they could get 1 and 1.2 respectively, instead of 1 and 2. Wouldn't be hard to do and might bunch teams closer together at the top and bottom.

The Chiefs are going to bitch slap the shite out of the Redskins this week.

Hey Rocket-Since you decided not to blast me like others do who don't have a damn clue
as to what my purpose is, I will give you an explanation and try to
unboggle your mind.

Your suggestion that I use a w/l element would skew everything since it's
meaningless to my purpose.

First let's look at purpose- For years I have played with methods of coming
up with what I consider the strongest 12 teams after having played 16 games.
The method I use right now has been very accurate in doing that.

I couldn't care less about the accuracy of the method in week 6 or any other week.
I never bet on a game, and never will. Who wins this week is fine with me.
I have no favorite team, and no bias toward anybody. So I can just add up the
numbers with no emotion of any kind.

So if you want a perfect ranking this week I suggest you use your own method
and add whatever things you want. Yours will probably be more accurate than
mine and your methods are probably better.

I can tell you that you will have trouble beating the method I use in the end
based on years of results.


you go ahead and use w/l and I will pass on that.

the broncos win a game with an impossible deflection of a pass

a team gets mauled all day and in the last minute gets an interference
call on the 1 and wins the game.

one team starts their schedule with 4 bottom feeders, and another one
plays two A teams and two B teams-

you really think any of these wins should enter in to evaluating the
strength of a team? Not for my purpose, but maybe for those who gamble.

the worst I have encountered was last years Lions at 172

it's just difficult to come in last in every category measured

noooo kudos. the broncos are pretty good. well done there. other than that, there have been serious issues in every rankings.
