The old formula for the Ranking System overlooked certain areas that I felt needed to be added to the new formula. Such things include performances on situational downs, incorporating punts that land inside the opponent's 20, and changing existing formula. These are the changes I've made to the system.
Offense and Defense: I've added a Situational Downs that uses 3rd down, 4th down, and Red Zone situations. The Situational Downs grade averages the scores for each individual category. The final offensive grade includes the situational grade and averages it with the previous categories. I'm hoping that adding a grade to the mix for how well a team converts on those critical downs paints a truer reflection of each team's offense and defense.
