Okay, I know I said that I wasn't going to do one of these this week, but I forgot that False Prophet uses my numbers for the NFL BCS rankings. So, I'll just post the results and let the numbers speak for themselves.
One new wrinkle, though -- while I'm still predicting net points with the formula PNP = (Net Yards / 12) + (4 * Net Turnovers), and net wins by pNW = (Games / 2) + (PNP / 40), this method will only comprise half of my rankings. Since net yards don't take into account punt/kickoff/return yardage, teams with good special teams were being undervalued, so I'm also using the good old pythagorean projection:
- pW% = (PF^2.37)/((PF^2.37)+(PA^2.37))
Predicted net wins and % are denoted by pW1 and pW%1, and pythagorean wins and % are denoted by pW2 and pW%2. "Rating" is simply the average of the two expected winning percentages.
