First off, here's what I posted in the other Power Poll suggestion thread.

In the whole scheme of things all that matters in the "W" or "L" and the points you put on the score board. Your yards gained can easily manipulate your Power Rank number if you're constantly driving 70 yards to only turn it over inside the Red Zone.
I give you the Nokes Power Poll formula...
Wins = A
Losses = B
Points Scored Per Game = C
Points Allowed Per Game = D
Last 4 Game Wins = E
Last 4 Game Losses = F
Current Streak = G
Total Games Played = H
Step 1: (A+C+E) - (B+D+F) = Value 1
Step 2: Value 1 + (G) = Value 2
Step 3: Value 2 / H = Power Rank Value
EXAMPLE
After 7 games Team Alpha is 4-3. They've scored an average of 21 points and have allowed an average of 17 points. They're 2-2 in their last 4 games and are on a 1 game losing streak.
A = 4 Wins
B = 3 Losses
C = 21 Points Scored Average
D = 17 Points Allowed Average
E = 2 Last 4 Games Wins
F = 2 Last 4 Games Losses
G = -1 Streak
H = 7 Total Games
Step 1: (4+21+2) - (3+17+2) = 5
Step 2: 5 + (-1) = 4
Step 3: 4 / 7 = 0.571
Power Rank Number = 0.571
This might look difficult, but it's not and takes very little time of looking through the numbers to figure out what to use. And yes there is a shortcut if you're wondering. I just wrote it all out so people can see how the whole process works.
From the above formula I decided to make wins and losses have more weight. The formula now looks like this:
Power Poll Formula
[ (Wins x 4) + (Points Scored Per Game + Last 4 Wins) - (Losses x 4) - (Points Allowed Per Game + Last 4 Losses) + (Streak) ] / Games Played
