Hmmmmm, just looked at your alternative ranking. I am always under the impression that my defense is much better than my offense. Your new ranking shows my offense much stronger than my defense.

Is there a way to work in the number of first downs ? And respectively the bunker of first downs allowed ?

I am asking because I don't have any clue to how you do this magical thing to come up with a ranking that is really good. You must be some kind of genius in my eyes.


First downs are covered indirectly via a low number of punts. Less punts = more first downs.

Take a look at your punts. You have the lowest by far, which is a big factor in your offensive rating. This means that regardless of total yards, your drives have been more successful.

I am no genius. I just like having fun with spreadsheets occasionally.

For the record. Next season the stats can include fumbles lost, defensive yards allowed(both pass and rush), and punts forced(which would replace tfl and sacks in the calculations). I might even add in conversion rates for third and fourth down, but it likely wouldn't make it in the calculation.

The reason I must wait until next season is because then I can compile the stats direct from each game as they happen. A much more manageable feat than trying to do it now. Even with a better set of stats. This will always have shortcomings. The biggest of which is that it does not include any schedule or matchup information in its calculations.

For the record, if anyone wants to calculate an approximation of their first downs, I've come up with an approximation that seems to work pretty well for a single game. Don't ask how I came up with it.

# First Downs = (Off Total Yards / 2)^(2/3) - ( # Punts * 1.5)

I took this formula and added an estimated first downs column in the punts section. It is not currently affecting the rankings, but I wouldn't mind your opinions if this approximation produces good results.

Heck, no. I was put out of the running in the very first match of the SC division against Navy.
