Week 10 Power Rankings

Been trying to tweak my formula for ranking teams based on strength of schedule, road games, etc.

Basically took my college ranking system and tweaked it for the pro game. This is what I came up with (note this is prior to the NE-NYJ game last night.

  1. Tennessee 9.135
  2. NY Giants 8.042
  3. Carolina 7.341
  4. Pittsburgh 6.440
  5. Tampa Bay 6.439
  6. Arizon 6.405
  7. Baltimore 6.402
  8. Washington 6.301
  9. Atlanta 6.232
  10. New England 6.117
  11. NY Jets 6.048
  12. Indianapolis 5.830
  13. Chicago 5.518
  14. Dallas 5.506
  15. Miami 5.348
  16. Philadelphia 5.443
  17. Minnesota 5.434
  18. Buffalo 5.348
  19. Denver 5.192
  20. Green Bay 4.625
  21. San Diego 4.539
  22. Jacksonville 4.436
  23. New Orleans 4.430
  24. Cleveland 3.574
  25. Houston 3.425
  26. St Louis 2.755
  27. Oakland 2.565
  28. Seattle 2.442
  29. San Francisco 2.288
  30. Kansas City 1.993
  31. Cincinnati 1.920
  32. Detroit 0.481

Basically teams get + for beating good teams, - for beating bad teams and credit for road games. Each division is also ranked, giving a factor to the +/- numbers as well. From this, KC and Indy have had the toughest schedules so far.

So wins count against teams if they happen to beat a “bad” team?

Every win is worth one point. But if it’s a bad team, some negative points are assigned.

This was my first pass at it because I basically took my college ranking system and tweaked it for the pro game somewhat. I may need to adjust the numbers because most teams ended up with total positive numbers.

I was looking for feedback if any the teams were way out of order.
