I have an idea for those of you who do not like StickMan's power rankings! Make you own and put your team where you see fit! Eureka!



wow. you're not a total tool at all.

Hmm, the man is doing our league and community a favor by putting his time in to compile these rankings every two days and I see more complaining than anything each time.

just busting his chops kiddo...

and then for you, lol well you need to do something for yourself

Bowling Green Broncos are on the rise. That's nice to see, and hopefully we can continue to climb after this week's new win, but we do face Shoreside, which is not really saying much if we beat them (no offense) due to their only 1 win.

well at least john kitna isn't guaranteeing 10 wins this season, only gonna be disappointed if they don't get them

Thanks Stickman!

Well, we dropped after beating a very tough team...I wonder if there is a way to add weight to stats gained against a time that is over .500, and less weight to stats gained against a team that is under .500.

Obviously 21 points scored against a tough team is worth more than 100 points scored against a primarily cpu team.

I'm sure this has already been brought up, and if it's being done already then disregard...thanks for the effort Stick. I find myself checking the game score first, then immediately looking for this post!!!

I'm glad you enjoy the rankings.

Right now, I don't have a good way to implement anything like you suggest, since all of the numbers are cumulative for the whole season. I have an idea of how I might be able to compared data from the previous week to the current week, to get an estimate for how a team did against their most recent opponent, but that's going to take a considerable amount of work, and I don't see that being implemented successfully anytime this season. But, it is a good suggestion. In the meantime, this is reflected somewhat by the strength of schedule category that I have included, but it's still not quite the same thing.

Thanks,
StickMan

The rankings appear to be stat based with some sort of weighing. So may not predict a teams W-L or general strength accurately due to differences in weighing of various stats, difficulty of opponents, team and opposing team tactics/builds. So shutting out a team or giving up few passing/rushing yards may generate less ranking then say generating turnovers, sacks, ints and giving up more yards/points. It's also possible a good defense would cause there to be fewer defensive plays....resulting in fewer stats. Just the nature of a stat based system. Personally I look more to the W-L, who and how much.

If you feel it's inaccurate you could do your own or suggest adding or changing the weighing of something. Schedules should be fairly similar within conference once we start nearing the end of the season even now there are only a few teams who I'd say have had really easy/hard schedules.

Oh, I see, so the the stats are pooled then compared...that makes sense, thanks for the consideration.
