Facing a bot helped my team to take #1 spot. And I had the weakest schedule so far. I will wait until next week before being really excited about my team's performance.

Don't worry, I know very well that there is no perfect formula. But I really like to complicate myself.

But we also know that, at the end of the season, the W/L record is the only thing that matters.


Week 4 standings maybe you could find a tweak in the formula that swaps 27th and 28th position.

W/L and opponents W/L seems to be the funky weighting in that spot. Viper with 1 win should in my mind be ranked higher than winless 27th considering 9-7 vs 10-6 opp w/l.

Maybe limit/max point diff influence (like is done in league point diff calculation - 60 points I think). That 79-7 loss he had last week is probably what is doing it.

RIO's 63-0 win vs BOT slightly influenced rankings up top too.

But overall looks like toughness of schedule isn't carrying enough weight along with actual wins record. ?

Come on, man. You'll cry when the time comes (if it ever comes). In the meantime, enjoy!

Maybe you are right and the weight of PD in the formula should be reviewed. I will look into it.

Every week, going through the rankings, I see teams that I think are not where they should be. And I try to figure out which factor has too much (or too little) weight in the formula. The bad thing is that every week I come to different conclusions.

I would love to see Viper vs Kansas City Chief this week to decide who is better and deserves to be higher in the rankings

I know I'm just a scrub in Dragons 2 but I'll add my 2 cents. I think it is extremely difficult to find a numeric way to create rankings. There are just too many unknowns and factors that can't be captured. lol

I'm not saying that using a formula is a bad thing or that it shouldn't be done. I'm just saying to not get lost in the details.

Totally agree with this.

It's just another entertainment like all the RZA.

But just because we know that something is impossible, we are not going to stop trying, right?
