I used a formula of my own devising. For all games (including preseason), just take PF-PA, and then add to that 1/3 of your opponents' PF-PA.

I realize that the preseason games are approached differently, but those games and week 1 are the only games where we play each others' conferences, so I figured mining data from them was better than having nothing. Maybe I should divide that part in half to reduce its weight in the overall calculation.

In any case, here are the rankings after week 2, broken down by conference first, and then everybody together at the end:

West
-------
1. Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S
2. Atlantis Wraith Worshipers
3. Memorial Crusaders
4. Barney's Bullet
5. Purple Plainsmen
6. Pee Wee Drops the Soap
7. Fort Lauderdale Kings
8. Multiple Scorgasms
9. New Orleans Patriots
10. Alaska Huskies
11. lol raiders
12. Bartow Yellow Jackets
13. Las Vegas Knights
14. Toledo Dragons
15. Koigahama Cupids
16. compton vikings

East
------
1. Appalachian Mountianeers
2. Need More Cowbell
3. End Times Patriot Saints
4. Horn Lake Predators
5. toronto tigers
6. GLB Wrecking Crew
7. Olympus Legends
8. Sodom Devils
9. *pow*
10. Reagan Rattlers
11. TEAM CLUTCH
12. Illinois Bling
13. Sydney Wildfire
14. Viva La Revolucion
15. Montgomery Breakers
16. Weird Science


Everyone together:
-------------------------
1. Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S

5. Need More Cowbell
6. Barney's Bullet

28. Montgomery Breakers
29. Toledo Dragons
30. Koigahama Cupids
31. Weird Science
32. compton vikings


I assure you, it's purely coincidental that my team is sitting at the top. 8D

How the fuck is Pee Wee 11th...

Well, they played #5 Cowbell, #10 toronto and #13 Olympus relatively close, edged out #14 Sodom, and stomped #27 Vegas. Frankly, I'm also a little surprised that they're as high as they are, I'd have guessed they'd end up around 13 or 14.

For comparison's sake, #12 GLB got thrashed by #2 Atlantis and #3 Appalachian, and beat the pants off of #22 Alaska, #27 Vegas, and #29 Toledo. Hard to really tell how good they are based on that. Worse than 3, better then 22.

The team they both played was #27 Las Vegas, and GLB had a slightly larger margin of victory.

I don't believe my method is perfect, but it's better than nothing. Feel free to ignore it.

I had a fever. And the only cure was More Cowbell.

I took all of the preseason games out of the calculation and changed the calculation to:
Total PF - Total PA + (1/2 Opponents' average PF-PA)

And the rankings are:
1 Appalachian Mountianeers
2 Need More Cowbell
3 Atlantis Wraith Worshipers
4 Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S
5 Barney's Bullet
6 toronto tigers
7 Purple Plainsmen
8 Memorial Crusaders
9 Horn Lake Predators
10 *pow*
11 End Times Patriot Saints
12 Olympus Legends
13 Pee Wee Drops the Soap
14 New Orleans Patriots
15 Reagan Rattlers
16 Sodom Devils
17 Fort Lauderdale Kings
18 GLB Wrecking Crew
19 lol raiders
20 TEAM CLUTCH
21 Multiple Scorgasms
22 Viva La Revolucion
23 Alaska Huskies
24 Toledo Dragons
25 Weird Science
26 Bartow Yellow Jackets
27 Sydney Wildfire
28 Illinois Bling
29 Koigahama Cupids
30 Montgomery Breakers
31 Las Vegas Knights
32 compton vikings

The funny thing is that the #4 STARS actually beat #2 More Cowbell the only time they played.

I figure this method will be more accurate for in-conference rankings, but less accurate for cross-conference rankings.

Maybe I should figure out the RPI formula and try to apply that. On the other hand, because of the way plays are called, the final score actually demonstrates something about how good each team was in a way that doesn't really happen in college or NFL (where everyone but Belichick slacks off after they get a big lead). So something related to PF-PA is probably the way to go.

The preseason stats are actually skewed a bit with NMC, we made a coaching change just before the first game of the regular season.

And hey, it's not Belichick's fault that the Titans had no answers for a pair of 7th round QBs from the state of Michigan. I say blame the jerseys.

Fellas. You're gonna want that cowbell on the track. But apparently not in second place, because they've slipped to third after only beating the Sodom Devils by 49. And the Atlantis Wraith Worshipers have fallen victim to their own weak schedule, slipping to fourth. Unfortunately their next opponent is the compton vikings, so they're not going to be doing a lot to strengthen their schedule on that one.

1 Appalachian Mountianeers
2 Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S
3 Need More Cowbell
4 Atlantis Wraith Worshipers
5 toronto tigers
6 Memorial Crusaders
7 Barney's Bullet
8 Purple Plainsmen
9 Horn Lake Predators
10 Olympus Legends
11 End Times Patriot Saints
12 Pee Wee Drops the Soap
13 *pow*
14 GLB Wrecking Crew
15 Fort Lauderdale Kings
16 New Orleans Patriots
17 Sodom Devils
18 TEAM CLUTCH
19 Reagan Rattlers
20 lol raiders
21 Viva La Revolucion
22 Multiple Scorgasms
23 Toledo Dragons
24 Alaska Huskies
25 Bartow Yellow Jackets
26 Weird Science
27 Illinois Bling
28 Sydney Wildfire
29 Montgomery Breakers
30 Koigahama Cupids
31 Las Vegas Knights
32 compton vikings

Go App State, by the way. 34-32, baby. Three national championships may be forgotten, but that victory at Michigan will be legend forever.

Yeah our Games so far have sucked because the dang weak teams all were CPU teams and probably just a team with all CPU players as well
