Cerneo, i say you do a protest and boycott making your Predictions for every weeks games until some last ass gets on his PC and does a spreadsheet for power rankings. why should you bust your ass for 30 minutes writing em up when no one else will?


no thanks. I'm in leagues where people do that formula and its completely jacked... we were the #5 team and we beat the a top 8 team by 30 points, but we fell to #6. The team that passed us barely beat a crappy 2-5 team.


LOL did they have a better record? did they blow out the teams they played... Ranking is done on overall work... not just what you did this week


no, we have a better record and the team we beat had a better record than the team they beat.

obviously its done on overall work - that's why were #5 before we played a ranked team and they were #6. Us beating a ranked team by more points than they beat a crappy team would only enhance our resume more than theirs.

Its a formula and formula's will have problems - look at how many people bitch about the BCS and that's way more complicated than the xcel formula you've put forth.

Also - if we put your math formula in and it came out with NY being better, there would just be bitching and moaning that the results are screwed because NY plays "weaker competition"...

Sorry man, a math formula won't work either because it will only measure a team's ability vs. its conference so you would get a "relative" idea of team's strength in its conference but no idea how good NY is compared to Omaha.


Not true... look at the BCS, you lose a game your gonna fall. you win you stay the same or go up

In your case you lost.


Uh. Yeah. Because LSU had 2 losses going into the MNC. Right...

ok!!! Scarpped that old power rankings. I made a formula (that me and a few math nerds worked on) that includes backups. i tested it out and it works. i like it a hell of alot more then just the starters. So when i get home after work and doing the mothers day stuff with my family i will begin to plug in the #'s.

There are a few things to know.

- Since alot of teams like to keep different amounts of players for different positions, some backups wont be counted. so if you have 4 TE's, dont expect to be rated that deep. We had to make a limit on the backups to include cause one not everyone has 8 hb's and 2 im already plugging in a shit ton of stats for this to work. I dont need to do this for 3 hours every 2 days for a power ranking on a game.
- The old formula rated a team on 22 positions. This formula will base a team off of 44 positions. To me that gives a deeper indicator of what a team is really putting on the field. On the avg team 1st stringers see about 50 snaps, 2nd stringers will see anywhere from 30 to 40. so we took that into account.

- For this formula, these are the positions that will count.

Offensive - QB1, QB2, HB1, HB2, FB1, FB2, WR1, WR2, WR3, WR4, TE1, TE2, C1, C2, LOT1, LOT2, ROT1, ROT2, LG1, LG2, RG1, RG2.

Defensive - NT1, NT2, DT1, DT2, LDE1, LDE2, RDE1, RDE2, MLB1, MLB2, LOLB1, LOLB2, ROLB1, ROLB2, CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, FS1, FS2, SS1, SS2.

So with a TON of teams to get data from and do the formula in their backet, i should (hoping) have these ready before our games tomorrow.

Nice Work! I think this will give a much better ranking.

A questions I eluded to in a previous post...

based on your post I will make an example. You will take LOT1, LOT2, ROT1, ROT2, which works perfectly if a team has 4 offensive tackles all listed that way on the depth chart. However it is pretty common for a team to have 3 OTs and LOT2 and ROT2 would be the same player. THerefore you would be counting one player twice in your calculations.

I am not sure exactly how to work around that aspect in a fair way. Depending on how many snaps an offense plays, having 1 extra body to rotate is plenty to keep everyone fresh. However a team that has a true "2 deep" should get a little higher ranking over a team one with utility man.

What do you think?

How about if we take into consideration the attributes important for that position (ie for a QB, strength, throwing, vision...etc..)

I think everyone should allow their attributes to be seen by all so we can get a better idea who is really the best and we can get proper power rankings!!



btw...the D.C. Warriors will go ahead and excuse themselves from the power rankings

I think its a mistake to go by stats alone, alot of these are in games where one team is vastly over matched.

You best bet would simply be to check the hard games and find good players that was, thats what I did for them last year.

How do you think it's done in real life? Last time I checked, they go by stats no matter who the opponent was.

That was one hell of a game, Orlando!

I'm so proud of our defense for keeping your potent offensive attack from scoring TDs. I have a feeling we will meet again...
