I say go for it and see how it works out. If a tough team manages to pull off a close win they deserve the credit for their victory to show in the rankings!

Yeah, I think I'm going to go for the lower MoV cap - 5 points should be about the max you should get for a blowout.

Will be interesting to see this applied retrospectivly. Seems to me that it would be more indicative of the real positions.

I've been considering altering the formula by which the power scores are generated.
Right now it's (W*5) - (L*5) + (SoV*3) - (SoL*3) + (MoV*0.1)
where SoV = cumulative wins by defeated opponents, SoL = cumulative losses by opponents who defeated you, and MoV = cumulative margin of victory, capped at 10 points (+100 final score)
Obviously we've seen some gaping holes in this, where teams who beat up on 0 and 1 win teams jump ahead of teams who won tough games against tough opponents.
So the alteration I was considering was this:
(W*5) - (L*5) + (SoV*3) - (SoL*3) + (MoV*(SoV-SoL)*0.01)
where, instead of just a flat tenth of a point, teams only score margin of victory as a product of their cumulative strength of schedule (SoV - SoL)
If I haven't baked your brain with algebra, I'd like to hear a yeah or nay vote on this. Shall I change the ranking system, or is it fine the way it is?
One of the immediate products of this change you'll see is a few more teams rising above other teams with better outright W-L records, because beating up on sucky teams won't mean as much in the rankings.
Stop pretending you're smart, bitch.

So, does this solve the plane on a conveyor belt argument or what?
The plane takes off but its tyres burst.
