Power rankings

[eva unit zero 271]

I'm working on what I like to call 'simple' power rankings.

The idea being that it takes the fewest variables possible to accurately identify the best team, considering the all-important variable of 'division strength.'

My thought is that it would simply work like this:

Take each division's overall record.

2 points for regulation or OT win.

1 point for shootout win or loss.

0 points for regulation or OT loss.

Take the total number of points, minus 160 points for the 80 intra-division games, and divide by the possible number of points (GPx2) to find the winning percentage.

This will provide the degree of difficulty for that division, ranging from 0.00 to 1.00.

The degree of difficulty will change slightly for each team's own division, as their record cannot be counted with that of their opponents.

The number of points earned agaist each division is multiplied by the degree of difficulty for that group of opponents.

These numbers are then added up to determine the 'strongest' team.

I will update once I have numbers finished and together. Any suggestions as to how to improve these would be appreciated.

Eh, they'd find a way to rank us dead last anyway.

using the old point system of 2 for a win, 1 for a tie (shoutout) and none for a loss is a bit odd
