We’re about 20 games into the 2022 NBA season, and power ratings are my favorite thing in the world, so it’s time to start pumping out NBA power ratings in addition to my NFL and College Football ratings. As with the football ratings, it’s mainly based on net statistics, for example net points per game,… Read More NBA Power Ratings, December 1, 2021: Warriors On Top
This will be the penultimate College Football Power Ratings of the 2021 season. After Conference Championship Saturday, I’ll compile an updated ranking, and then that’ll be it: we’re off to bowl season and the Playoff. However, I did make one final tweak to the system after the results of this past weekend. Because I am… Read More College Football Power Ratings: Conference Championship Week
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
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
It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the 2021 college football season, but here we are. College football schedules are typically back-loaded, though, meaning the biggest and best games of the season are saved for the end. While we have already seen some heavyweight non-conference bouts, like Georgia-Clemson and Oregon-Ohio State, most of the… Read More College Football Mid-Season Report: The Stats That Will Decide “Who’s In”
I decided to tweak the TNC formula to factor in the percent of a player’s made field goals he is assisted on. I just feel like the current formula is still a bit skewed towards big men. A thought occurred to me, after updating the rankings and seeing that Bam Adebayo was ranked ahead of… Read More NBA Player Rankings: 4/8/21
I went through every NFL draft since 2000 and tallied up the number of Pro Bowlers by round: Now, it looks like talent is dropping off in recent years, but it’s just because the players drafted from about 2017 on just haven’t been in the league long enough to realize their full potential. You can… Read More How Difficult is it to Have a Successful Draft?
Now that I have finished my NBA player statistical rankings, I can do my NBA team statistical rankings, since individual stars factor heavily into the team rankings. Like with my NFL team statistical rankings, these team rankings reflect the average of where a given team ranks 1-30 across a select group of team-based statistics. For… Read More NBA Team Statistical Rankings: Mar. 29, 2021
I applied the same concept from the team statistical rankings to Quarterbacks: taking their ranks in important statistical categories and averaging out the ranks to find a single overall average. Then we calculate the median, and then list how far above or below the median each quarterback is. The 10 stats I used: Passing TDs:… Read More NFL Statistical Quarterback Rankings: Week 13
