Although they ended up one yard short of a Championship, the Seattle Seahawks were the best team in the NFL last season. From a numeric standpoint, it wasn’t particularly close. The scary part for the rest of the league should be that the Seahawks invested in improving themselves in the few areas where they weren’t dominant last season.
I spent the better part of the day updating my database and rerunning my regressions with the new data from 2014 added in. Once that was done, I ran the Power Rankings model with the new data.
It was absolutely not surprising to find that the Seahawks were the best and most dominant team in 2014.
