Let this be a quick introduction to my NFL blog. My purpose is to give an unbiased and accurate ranking of the NFL teams to assist in future prediction. I am simply a college student (mathematics major) interested in statistics and the NFL who wants to see how GOOD teams ARE, not how WELL they've PERFORMED. You see, contrary to popular belief, there is a hell of a lot of variance in the game of football, and to analyze how GOOD teams ARE, one must separate the skill that a team has demonstrated from the luck that it has received. I wrote an algorithm (which I will discuss more thoroughly soon) to measure the skill-based elements of teams' performance, and this algorithm will be the sole basis for these rankings, which I will post each week. Also expect a light dose of posts in between discussing anything else going on in the NFL that I find interesting. Thanks for reading!
