As we head into the final week of the regular season, a clear top-4 remains at the top of the power ratings. Alabama stubbornly remains #1, which surprised me this week given their close shave against Arkansas. I really thought they were going to fall, at least to #2, but they maintain their hold on… Read More College Football Week 13 Power Ratings: Rivalry Week is Upon Us
Can’t believe we’ve only got two more regular season college football Saturdays remaining in the 2021 season, but here we are. My power ratings through 11 weeks: Alabama has retaken the #1 spot from Georgia, although this is probably because Alabama played a stat-padder opponent, New Mexico State, this past weekend. But it does go… Read More College Football Week 12 Power Ratings
I haven’t done my NFL power ratings in a while but we’re back for week 11. The Bills were on top when I last did the ratings (week 7) and they remain on top. They’re just so highly-ranked in virtually every category. Really the only place you can knock them is in strength of schedule,… Read More NFL Week 11 Power Ratings: Bills Remain On Top
This is where we stand after 10 weeks of college football (although of course most teams have had a bye so they’ve only played 9 games). Georgia and Alabama remain solidified at the top in a class of their own, while Ohio State and Michigan are a bit lower in a tier of their own:… Read More CFB Power Ratings: Week 10
I tweaked the formula a bit because last week my ratings were only able to get 62% of the straight-up game outcomes correct, and that’s not good enough. Here is the new formula: In addition to having Net Yards, I now have net rushing yards, net passing yards and net YPC. I also have added… Read More College Football Week 9 Power Ratings
As with the college football power ratings, I decided to streamline the process and use mainly net statistics, as it can kill two birds with one stone for a lot of my categories. Here are the statistical categories I’m using: To get a team’s rating, I averaged out their ranks across all the statistical categories… Read More NFL Week 7 Power Ratings
I overhauled the formula for my college football power rating system. At first, I was only evaluating the teams in the AP Top 25, but now that I’ve figured out how to scrape data from sports data websites, I am now able to evaluate all 130 teams in the FBS. This makes the system a… Read More College Football Week 8 Power Ratings
I’ve done the same thing for college football that I do with NFL teams: average out their statistical rankings in a select number of categories I’ve deemed most important and used that to rank them 1-25. Only teams in the AP top 25 are eligible for consideration here, just for simplicity’s sake because it would… Read More College Football Statistical Team Rankings: Week 7
Now that 5 weeks are in the book and we have a decent sample size of statistics, we can start doing the statistical ranks. For those who don’t know, last year in week 12 I created my own team ranking system based off their statistical ranks (1-32, with 1 being the best and 32 being… Read More 2021 NFL Statistical Team Rankings: Week 5
Man, college football is awesome this year. My only complaint thus far was that for as much chaos as there has been in the rankings, Bama and Georgia were solidly at the top of the rankings and clearly way ahead of everyone else. Because of how many upsets we’ve seen, people were comparing this season… Read More College Football Week 6 Reactions: BAMA GOES DOWN; Iowa Beats Penn State in Comeback Fashion
