Wait. Now that I think back, it was me with the body odor. He was just intolerant of it. I knew it had something to do with body odor.

yet, a game with two teams with a combined 3 wins gets the nod for #1 cbs game this sunday.

not that we like you anyway, jim nantz

OK, I've still got a few to go in terms of data entry, but I've got enough to play with. Here are a couple cool charts.


Not that this is surprising, but so much for the NFC being the dominant conference this year:

And so much for the AFCW being the division to beat up on this year:

Oh, and here's the AFCW just for fun.

Pretty cool stuff.

I always thought that Sagarin rewarded teams with tough schedules even if those teams lose to the top teams. Now I really can't understand their ratings at all. Atlanta is ranked 17th with a 1-4 record. Their schedule is ranked 12th and their one win was over the 30th ranked team. The Jets are ranked 25th with the 13th ranked schedule but are 3-2. The Jets beat the Falcons head to head on the road, though their other two wins are against bottom feeders. The Texans are also ranked behind Atlanta despite having a better record of 2-3 and the 2nd hardest schedule in the league.

I got all of the data entered last night that I could find (still missing some from early weeks from places that don't archive), but here ya go.

Dotted lines = next three opponents
Big dots = when we played them

It's actually kind of cool to look at. Not surprisingly, every team takes a dip after they lose to us. According to general opinion, the Titans game was our toughest of the season - right up there with the Cowboys. The Raiders game still isn't EXPECTED to be a challenge, but you know how those things go.

Feel free to ask for other stuff. I'm happy to play with it in other ways as long as it's not TOO time consuming.

I noticed this the other day. The AFC is killing the NFC this year. We'll see if it evens up over time, but the interconference records were as lopsided as I've ever seen.

Last one before I give up on this for a while. Here's a chart that illustrates who the biggest "surprises" have been so far this year:

I don't know if this is the best place to post this, but at least you can add this into your aggregate, if you so choose.

I've made a ranking system that compares stats against opponent's averages in other games. For instance, in week 1 KC scored 28, compared to the 33.75 JAX has been allowing in other games, and allowed 2, compared to the 12.25 JAX has been scoring in other games, so they receive a -5.75 in scoring offense and a +10.25 in scoring defense for that game.

The system tracks 8 stats like this:
Scoring O
Scoring D
YPC gained
YPC allowed
YPA gained
YPA allowed
Total yards per total plays gained
Total yards per total plays allowed

It then determines the correlation between wins so far in 2013, and these 8 stats, creates a coefficient for each stat based on said correlation, and makes an offensive and defensive score for each team using all 8 of the stats.. Adding these together gives the following ranking through 5 weeks:

1 DEN
2 SEA
3 GB
4 NO
5 IND
6 SF
7 KC
8 PHI
9 CIN
10 DAL
11 TEN
12 NYJ
13 CHI
14 NE
15 MIA
16 CAR
17 CLE
18 HOU
19 BAL
20 SD
21 DET
22 MIN
23 ATL
24 WAS
25 BUF
26 OAK
27 ARI
28 TB
29 PIT
30 NYG
31 STL
32 JAX

Or, if you plot each team with O and D separately (x is O and y is D) you get:

that is cool...winning harms your own team's perception, especially early in the season with a small sample size...that titan's win will look better as the season progresses

Geno!



:bolt:

Very cool - I love stuff like that. It's interesting to me that so many different ways of doing offense and defense power rankings. At a glance, your chart ends up having a lot in common with Advanced NFL Stats' visualization data, yet they use a completely different algorithm to do it.

Heh...I was fine with the Alex Smith route, but you can't deny that Geno has given that team new life.
