    Hello everyone!

    I've been working on finding a new objective way to look at power rankings. I've come up with two formulas, which I'll post the results of below along with the current NFL power rankings. Let me know if anything stands out to be crazy to you.

    Rankings Method 1

    Rankings Method 2

    Method 1 looks pretty good. The Dolphins are way too high in Method 2. There's no way they should be 4th.

    What possible mathematical system gets the 5-10 Dolphins to be a top 5 or top 10 team? It seems like whatever data set you use has a bug in it with the Dolphins because everything else seems fairly reasonable.

    Thanks, indeed I had the dolphins referencing the bengal's record. Good eye.

    Almost 24 hours and no "any system that does not have the Cowboys 32nd is seriously flawed" comments?
