And they are calculated as follows

The ranking is comprised of 3 numbers.

The first is a culmination of record and Strength of schedule. Its forumula is :

RecordValue = (#ofWins x 1.5)+(#ofWins x WinStrength)+(#ofLosses x LossStrength)

where
WinStrengh = ((Total Wins of all opponents that team has beat)/(Total Games Played of all opponents that team has beat)) | (0 if team has not won)
LossStrengh = ((Total Wins of all opponents that team has Lost to)/(Total Games Played of all opponents that team has Lost to))| (1 if undefeated)

The second Value is for Margin of Victory. Its forumla is :

VictoryValue = (AverageMarginofVictory^1)/35 x (#ofWins/#ofGames)*Weekweight

Weekweight = #ofGames * .3 - This keeps the relative value of of margin of victory relatively consistant as the # of games increases.

DefeatValue = (AverageMarginofDefeat^1)/35 x (#ofLosses/#ofGames)*Weekweight*-1

^1 Margin of Victory and Defeats for any single game is limited to 35 points. Blowouts by more than that are as much morale based as actual skill based, so limited to this for powerrankign purposes.

Ranking = RecordValue + VictoryValue + DefeatValue

Nice work my man! Will they be split Alpha/Zeta at any stage? I'm too lazy to do it

Haha, damn I just took like 2 hours to do some math and do all of Alpha!

Anywho, Waltang, if you wanna do Zeta, I'll keep doing Alpha. I usually throw in some comments with mine though, but you can do yours however you like.

Cool, thanks for this.

Great work. Thanks.

Nice!

I have a spreadsheet that is a simple copy and paste from the daily results and bam its done, no manual calculating. I use it for a bunch of different leagues. Don't let my power rankings stop you from doing your own. Think of it as the difference between the computer rankings and coaches polls in the BCS.

They could probably be split Alpha/Zeta, but the conference names are included.

Good stuff.

ya i like having the two different ranking systems. BTW moscow is gonna move our way up in a hurry

nice job!

it'd also be nice if you could split it into 2 rankings; one for zeta, one for alpha

it looks pretty accurate already, though we've only played 2 games. once we finish 5-6 games, it should look even more accurate

great job!!!

What amazes me is not that my Caps are rated #32 now, it is that we were actually ranked #25 before.

never mind

sweet, lets hope we can move out of 21.....hahahhaha
