That's not going to happen this year.

That is pretty cool. Whats defined as a better or worse team, just over all record?

This link tells you all about the mathematical equation they use to determine team ratings, but in plain English:

Quote:

The Colts’ rating should equal their average point margin (which was +12), plus the average of their opponents’ ratings.

Taken further:

Quote:

So every team’s rating is their average point margin, adjusted up or down depending on the strength of their opponents. Thus an average team would have a rating of zero. Suppose a team plays a schedule that is, overall, exactly average. Then the sum of the terms in parentheses would be zero and the team’s rating would be its average point margin. If a team played a tougher-than-average schedule, the sum of the terms in parentheses would be positive and so a team’s rating would be bigger than its average point margin.

Yeah they have all sorts of offensive statistics...hopefully some day they will get stats for the defensive players.

The people that run that site, run a baseball and a basketball site as well.

he wasn't.

Jsarno, I wasn't referring to your roullette thing. I was making fun of you because you referred to yourself as Statman. I found that particularly dorky and foolish, that's all.

But back to the discussion at hand. Your post called the stats, presented on the page GTripp linked to, meaningless. I'd love to know why you think so, because as a math person, I can't see the logic.

Schneed10 · 07-20-2007, 03:49 PM

My main beef here is you called yourself Statman, yet offered no quantitative analysis to back up your point that the stats are meaningless.

That amounts to a pointless and meaningless post, and an opinion devoid of validity.

They find ways around it by not paying RB's

LOL, that's actually true...for some reason they don't like to keep RB's. I guess they don't need to, they can plug you in and you'd run for 1200 yards.
Henry must be foaming at the mouth for this opportunity.

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 07-22-2007, 02:05 AM

he will probably get 1400 and people will be riding him again.

True...they are abnormally tough on their RB's up there.
