We here at STATS INC. have updated the Coach Ratings! Jeff Pierson has leapt up to tie for the top spot, after a slight change to the formula. We wanted to account for the unluckiness of some coaches, so this we we added "Points Against" as a 6th category to average from. We call the Chris Bell Clause (Not to be confused with the Tim Allen movie). If we look at the Numbers: The SOUP CAN have had 634 points scored against them this season. That averages out to 126.8 points/game. That is especially interesting when you see that only 503.5 (100.7 points/game). In real life football, this would be attributed to great defense...but this is fantasy football, and the schedule plays a big part. Coach Bell has played two of the top 3 scoring teams this season...and the coach rating should account for the schedule.
So, we ranked the team with the most points against as the "Most Unlucky" and gave the Soup Can a #1 ranking in the catergory, while the Felons got a #12 rank for having the most "luck".
Last week, the team with the higher 2010 Coach Rating won 5 of the 5 games...so our formula is proven thus far. We will continue to tweak it as we try to rank correctly the strength of each team.
Let us know if you have any ideas!
