The NIFL Computer Generated Power Poll & Strength of Schedule
As of games played through May 4thth
For 2003, the formula has been tweaked a little from last year. It still takes into account each team's winning percentage, the winning percentages of that team's opponents and the winning percentages of the opponents of that team's opponents. But this year I've also added a scoring multiplier based on the difference between points scored and points allowed. Basically, teams are rewarded for blowing out their opponents and penalized for getting blownout.
