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.

Tennessee 9.135
NY Giants 8.042
Carolina 7.341
Pittsburgh 6.440
Tampa Bay 6.439
Arizon 6.405
Baltimore 6.402
Washington 6.301
Atlanta 6.232
New England 6.117
NY Jets 6.048
Indianapolis 5.830
Chicago 5.518
Dallas 5.506
Miami 5.348
Philadelphia 5.443
Minnesota 5.434
Buffalo 5.348
Denver 5.192
Green Bay 4.625
San Diego 4.539
Jacksonville 4.436
New Orleans 4.430
Cleveland 3.574
Houston 3.425
St Louis 2.755
Oakland 2.565
Seattle 2.442
San Francisco 2.288
Kansas City 1.993
Cincinnati 1.920
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.
