Kayoh Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I was thinking about how terrible the AFC has been this season, and about how NFC teams have won almost 70% of their games against AFC teams, and I was thinking...what would the NFL's power rankings look if it was weighted against the AFC? What if wins over the AFC meant less, and wins over the NFC meant more? Well, I stopped asking questions and took action. I compiled every team's record and then changed their record according to a weight that I used to show the AFC's inferiority.Wins vs the NFC and losses vs the AFC count as double. Wins vs the AFC and losses vs the NFC count as half. I compiled every team's record using that formula and this is the standings taking ONLY winning PCT into account:1. Atlanta: 1.0002. Chicago: .9093. Baltimore: .8894. NY Giants: .8675. Seattle: .8676. San Fransisco: .8577. Houston: .8338. Arizona: .6679. Minnesota: .66710. St. Louis: .66711. Washington: .66712. Tampa Bay: .62513. Green Bay: .60014. Dallas: .57115. Detroit: .57116. Philadelphia: .50017. Carolina: .50018. Indianapolis: .44419. Miami: .40020. Buffalo: .40021. New England: .33322. Cincinnati: .33323. Pittsburgh: .29424. Tennessee: .27825. Denver: .25026. San Diego: .25027. NY Jets: .25028. Kansas City: .22229. New Orleans: .12530. Jacksonville: .09131. Oakland: .07132. Cleveland: .067 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Any statistical manipulation that shows the Taints sitting 29th out of 32 teams is a win in my book. Well played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is beyond wrong. This is terribad. Don't know if you realized it, but you pretty much made one NFC win equal 4 AFC wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzard_falcon Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is beyond wrong. This is terribad. Don't know if you realized it, but you pretty much made one NFC win equal 4 AFC wins.Wasn't that kind of the idea, though? I like the idea as a thought experiment. I'd be interested to see how this list looks after 2-3 more weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to see how this list looks after 2-3 more weeks.It's literally impossible for the AFC to compete with the NFC under these conditions due to the inherent mathematics. The bottom 16 has 14 AFC teams. I guarantee if you reverse the mathematics so that AFC wins count for 4x that of NFC wins, NFC would be on the bottom instead.I understand that idea behind it, but this isn't strength of victory based, it's...illogical.
