re: My Power Rankings After Week 3

You use the rankings of the defense points allowed though.

but that's ranking a team compared to 31 other teams not how many points they gave up against a particular team. big difference

Gold,

There is no need to act like a teenage girl on the rag when someone calls out your "Power Rankings" for being shite...

... which they are.

where is this guy getting too defensive? he's just countering the points being made, why wouldnt he?

you are right- and that is just one way to rank teams which works very well. You have a problem with the term power ranking? you would feel better if I called it the royal order of additive mathematics based on 6 parameters ?

There are other things to measure too but the ones I tried haven't added to the accuracy of the rankings each week

It's just for me personally, when I see the term "power ranking" I expect it's more than just adding up where the teams rank in those categories. As it is now, the rankings completely ignore home/road, point differential, garbage points and yards (actually teams are penalized for this), and who they've played.

I left out the general "well this team obviously sucks despite their record" because that is not a quantitative data point. The others, though they may take a few guesses and multiple iterations through the formula, could be added in there somewhere to make the power rankings more than just a sum of rankings, though that may be other things you mentioned measuring.

The Cardinals finished up at 20th in 2008 and went to the Super Bowl.

Other than that, this seems pretty consistent.

1. ravens.........39-----1
2. broncos........43-----13
3. saints.........49-----4
4. giants.........50-----3

5. pats...........59-----7
6. jets...........63-----6
7. eagles.........65-----9
8. vikings........68-----5
9. colts..........70-----2

10 cowboys........81-----17
11 seahawks.......83-----23
12 steelers.......87-----16
13 49ers..........90-----15
14 bengals........94-----11
14 chargers.......94-----12
16 packers........96-----10
17 bears..........98-----14
18 titans.........99-----18
19 redskins......101-----26

20 dolphins......109-----24
21 jaguars.......112-----22
22 falcons.......114-----8
23 cardinals.....115-----19
23 bills.........115-----21

25 texans........127-----20
26 lions.........134-----28
27 panthers......138-----25
28 raiders.......139-----27
29 chiefs........140-----30
30 bucs..........152-----31
30 rams..........152-----32
32 browns........169-----29

so espn's system over values the falcons and buddy's system overvalues the broncos but other than that they line up pretty well

FYI espn's system is solely an opinion poll and has no basis in statistical analysis other than what the voter himself uses to cast his ballot.

The rankings were determined by a poll of four voters on ESPN.com's NFL staff: writers John Clayton (AFC East, NFC East), Jeffri Chadiha (AFC North, NFC North), Paul Kuharsky (AFC South, AFC West), and Mike Sando (NFC South, NFC West).
