Warrior General Games

There are a number of different league ranking methods out there, and I'll start off by stating that I took this posting layout from one of the more common ones. However, this is a completely homegrown spreadsheet and power ranking calculation.

What I did was extract the data straight from the league stat center ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/team_stats.pl?league_id=62&conference_id=0 ) into a spreadsheet and used it to compile each team's yardage and point totals, both for and against. On offense, I calculated the rankings based on who had the best yardage and scoring for each separate category (passing and rushing), as well as the combination of the two, which is depicted in the overall rating. For defense, it was just the opposite; using the least amount of yards and points given up to determine the better ranking.

For the overall ranking, it is the average of all of the different sub-category offensive and defensive rankings (rushing yards for, rushing yards against, rushing TDs for... etc), with an added weighting to the difference between each team's yardage/points for and against (this is used for purposes of tie-breakers, when dealing with averages)... because it is, after all, more impressive to win convincingly by racking up a lot of points/yards and hold your opponents to very few points/yards; as opposed to gaining a lot of points/yards, but giving up a lot of points/yards as well.

Keep in mind these power rankings are based off of one league game played, thus far. They will shift dramatically and reflect a more accurate assessment as each team begins to play common opponents. In other words, the Stalingrad Ironmen look like a true powerhouse right now, but they've only played the Maladorous Football Beavers; expect them to fall hard with their next six or seven games against some of the best that Alpha has to offer.

He doesnt use Greasemonkey FYI.

What the hell we dropped all the way down to third....these power rankings are a joke!

Now that I have the irrational response off my chest....thank you for doing these.

Every league I have been in someone has come in and flamed the OP for their teams ranking in the first couple of weeks, so I thought I would be that guy this time. It was oddly liberating.

Indeed, Fox is correct. I borrowed a spreadsheet that Rot used to use and embellished it a bit to come up with something more ellaborate.

... but if you did have greasemonkey scripts, you'd be welcome to use them so that I don't have to spend the time to create this after every game.

Well damnit, pick on somebody your own size!

Yeah, the Bucks got screwed with a soft opening game too. The Šernai were the pre-season 29th ranked team, and they put up just enough of a fight to keep our overall numbers down *shrug*.
