How did you assign the relative Power Rankings to start with this year?

 

[Lash]

where in the spreadsheet does it factor in speedy aggressive defense starting 9 ( maybe 10)games against QB's in their first full year of being starting QB?

(San Diego gets this luxury)

I feel for Oakland, they have 6 very tough games (KC is never a push over) and you have them ranked last. Gonna be another long season for the boys in Silver and Black

Last = easiest.

I know... and they play 6 very tough division games, not to mention they play the Colts, Chicago, Jax and Tennessee who almost made the playoff's last season and he has their schedule ranked last.

Did Thorpe click yes to enable macros?

I like the SOS by opponent's win percentage. The only stat that matters is whats in the W column.

Here is a nice one.

It has Oakland as the 2nd toughest schedule.

 

[AB in DC]

SD NE IND BAL

It's an odd formula that would rank the four AFC division winners from 2006 as the four toughest schedules.Interesting factoid: every team in the AFC plays exactly three games against 2006 AFC division winners.

Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to say with out coming out and blasting anyone. But here it goes, to have Oakland last (IMO) is an absolute joke. Hope that clears things up

Last year Thorpe ran a second set of these using Vegas' projected win totals, which I thought was helpful. Any chance we can see the formula or you can PM me the excel file? I'd like to run this again closer to the start of the season when the lines move again.
