Now that I have a little bit of time freed up, I decided to do the commish rankings again. They are 100% based on stats, I plug the numbers in and that's that. I use points for, points against, rushing yards per game offense/defense, passing yards per game offense/defense,. Those categories are then added together, and like golf, lower scores are better.

I add the scores of those 6 categories together. I then do the same for penalty yards and turnover margin, and divide the sum of those 2 by 2, because they carry half weight. Same system I used before.

For example, my team:

Passing yards 20th offense, 17th defense 37 points
Rushing yards 6th offense, 21st defense 27 points
Points for/against 10th/18th 28 points

37+27+28=92

Penalty yardage 20th, turnover margin 16th 20+16/2=18

92+18=110

Houston Chronicle

August 4th, 1990

The commissioners rankings can down today and Houston remained at the 7th position in the rankings. There are 5 teams still undefeated after 5 weeks with the top 4 in the rankings all 5-0 followed by Chicago at 3-2 and Washington at 4-1, 5th and 6th respectively. We caught up with the Gamblers star quarterback and asked him what he thinks of being ranked 7th behind teams that have lost and his only response was:



J/J

Haha, tell that Jim Kelly doppleganger to put up better stats if he wants a better ranking.

Stats are cool....parades are cooler

These are great and thanks for doing this. 20th is generous for the Express :)

I think wins and loses should count for something....I can bye I'm ranked 10th or worse but Michigan is ranked 9th at 2-4???

Since your using golf scoring...I suggest -5 per win/+5 per lose. Just a thought my friend. I do appreciate the rankings and work involved.
