To measure the effects of these four variables on a club's performance, a regression analysis was run which determined that each increase in one point of the quarterback efficiency rating increased a club's score by .233 points. Each rushing yard gained increased a club's score by .044 points. Each field goal missed decreased a Club's score by 2.8 points and each sack taken decreased a club's score by .73 points.
The equation may be written as follows: 3.9659 + (QB Rating x .233) + (Rushing Yards x .044) - (Field Goals Missed x 2.8) - (Sacks Taken x .73).
For 2010, a club's "power" will be measured each week using this equation twice: Once for its offensive score, and then subtracting the results of the equation for its opponent, for its defensive score.
Power Rankings will be weighted based on the following formula: The immediately prior week's results will be weighted 25%, and cumulative results will be weighted at 75%
How about this?
