This is simply an exercise with playing around with numerical data you can find on Pro Football Reference. In my opinion, Power Rankings are BS, but I thought I would try to rank teams based on rate stats on offense, defense, and special teams. I took the data from PFR and took the difference from league average and set it to a percentage rate with league average being 50%. Scheduling involves the team’s own W-L record and the W-L record of their opponents in other games. On offense and defense, I used Points Per Drive, Turnover %, Scoring %, and Yards Per Play. Special Teams is a very long and ugly computation that involves Field Position, Return TDs, Net Punting Average, Touchback %, and Return Average.
