Since we have plenty of new owners, here is a breakdown on how I calculate the power rankings.

Start

Each team starts with the score based on their ranking going into the week. #1=32 down to #32=1

Record

+5 win
-5 lose
0 tie

Opponent

You get points based on who you beat and lose points based on who you lose too.

Example:
Based on the above power rankings let's say the #11 Omaha Storm beat the #24 Philly Cheesesteaks.

Omaha gets +9 points based on Philly's ranking at 24.

Philly is hit with -11 because Omaha is ranked 11th.

Example #2
Let's say the #32 ranked Buffalo Chips defeat the #1 Deadwood Dust Devils.

Buffalo gets +32
Deadwood gets hit at -32

The higher ranked an opponent is then the more points a win is worth while losing to a high ranked team carries a small penalty. In the above example if #1 Deadwood beats #32 Buffalo then Deadwood gets +1 while Buffalo loses -1.

Total Offense/Defense

A team gets points based on where they are ranked on both total offense and defense.

I use 66 as the baseline then see where each team is ranked and subtract those rankings from 66.

Example

Let's say the Deadwood Dust Devils are ranked #1 on offense and #9 on defense. That equals a combined ranking of 10 (9+1).

Then I subtract that 10 from the baseline of 66 (66-10=56) and award them 56 points.

So the range is 64 points (#1 offense/defense) to 2 points (#32 offense/defense).

Turnover margin

Finally I simply add or subtract each teams Turnover margin from each teams total score.

Final example

So lets do a quick example.

Week 1

The Tucson Outlaws host the Green Bay Bullfrogs and for our example Green Bay wins.

Green Bay is ranked 20th going into week 1 which carries a score of 13.

20. Green Bay Bullfrogs 13 (20)

13

They beat Tucson who was ranked 18th which carries a score of 15.

18. Tucson Outlaws 15 (18)

13+15 =28

Green Bay won and its week 1 so their record is 1-0 which means they get +5 for the win.

28+5=33

Now I check the team stats and check yards from Scrimmage/game



If I use the above example then Green Bay is ranking 16th on offense and 25th on defense. So using my baseline of 66, I subtract 41 (16+25) which equals 25.

33+25=58

Finally I goto Turnover margin in team stats and add/subtract that number.



Based on the above example from week 16 last season, Green Bay is at a -19 Turnover margin.

58-19=39

So Green Bay scores 39 points and after the other 31 teams are calculated would be ranked accordingly.

Quick and the dead rankings (2036 Week 1)

The week 1 rankings find the Bakers nudging out the Dust Devils for the top spot. 4 teams joined the ranks of the Quick while 5 teams were resurrected from the dead including the deadest of the dead (29,30,31 and 32). We had one team drop from the Quick straight past And into the Dead....a 2 tier swing is rare but anything can happen Week 1.

Quick and the dead rankings (2036 Week 2)

It's still early and we saw plenty of movement once again as the power rankings won't settle down until weeks 4-5 as we get more of a sample size. The Dust Devils reclaim the top spot and the Thunderbolts and Monarchs have made a strong claim at the top along with the Bakers. The Quicksilver take a rare drop out of the realm of the Quick while the Rampage find themselves Dead with the Butcherz who are the Deadest of the Dead as they got Butchered by the Goats and the Chips!!!

The Dust Devils maintain the top position while the Crusaders have bounced back into the realm of the Quick. The Bakers have fallen into the purgatory of the And tier. The Butcherz are still winless but played much better while the Shamrocks are out of luck and the deadest of the dead.

We are 4 weeks into the season and the rankings start to settle down as the Dust Devils remain at the top but the Thunderbolts, Stars and Timberjacks are applying pressure. The rankings are deep as the Quicksilver, Hammers and Heisenbergs are perennial Contenders but find themselves in the Limbo of the "And" tier. Once proud francises like the Storm and Shamrock fond themselves Dead but not as Dead as the Lizards who are the Deadest of the Dead!

Six weeks in and we are down to one undefeated team; the Monarchs, who sit atop the rankings. The Dust Devils rejoin the ranks of the Quick along with the Black Sharks and Crusaders. The Heisenbergs have rebounded and sit atop the And tier while the Stars and Thunderbolts have slipped after a fast start into the realm of the Ands. The Shamrocks and Butcherz have dies and once again the Lizards are the Deadest of the Dead.

Quick and the dead rankings (2036 Week 13)

Team scores return to normal!

15 games went to form where the highest ranked seed won!!! The 16th game being the #5 Dust Devils defeating the #1 Black Sharks which dropped the Black Sharks to #11 since everyone else in the top 10 won.

☆The top 11 teams all have scores over 100 which represents a playoff caliber team so any slip-up now will cost a Quick ranked team.
☆Teams ranked 12-17 with scores from 50-80 represent teams on the playoff bubble.
☆Teams ranked 18-22 with scores between 0-25 are teams with a chance to win between 6-8 wins.
☆Teams ranked 23-32 with a negative score are teams where between 0-5 wins are expected...the worse the negative score, the fewer wins!
