POWER RANKINGS (WEEK 5)



I had some extra time so I decided to do a power rankings. This won't be a weekly thing but when I have the time, I will do my custom power rankings.

***THE FORMULA???***

I've come up with my own system that I've been using for years and it has proved to be very accurate for ranking the 32 teams.

First:
I add each team's Total Offense & Total Defense ranking (Team Stats/Yards from scrimmage) and subtract that total from a base 66. So the highest possible score is 64 if a team has the #1 Total Offense & #1 Total Defense with the lowest possible score being 2 if a team ranks 32nd in both.

Second:
I add/subtract each team's Turnover Margin (Team Stats/Turnover Margin) from the value calculated from above. So they is no limit to the highest/lowest possible score but the range over 29 seasons of the XFL has been from +28 (Buffalo/2025) to -39 (Daytona/2023).

Third:
I give each team 5 points for each win & subtract 5 points for each lose with a tie equalling zero points. This score can range from 80 points (16-0) to -80 points (0-16) but for this particular ranking through 5 games, the range is 25 points (5-0) to -25 points (0-5). This value is added/subtracted from the total calculated in step 2.

This gives each team a ranking score and it's simply a matter of putting them in descending order.

Fourth:
I can stop after step 3 and get a fairly accurate power ranking but if I want to add strength of schedule to the equation then I have to calculate the total records for each team's opponents and come up with a winning percentage of opponents. I then multiple each team's ranking score after step 3 by their opponents winning percentage to get an adjusted ranking score.

BASE POWER RANKINGS

No surprise here as Atlanta leads the way with Phoenix, Buffalo & Dakota all in the top 5 which accounts for the 4 undefeated teams. Memphis as usual is a top team despite their 1 lose.

Team's ranked 6th through 12 all have 4 wins except Cincinnati & Houston with 3 wins but play in the toughest division in the XFL.

ADJUSTED POWER RANKINGS

The adjusted power rankings have Phoenix claiming the top spot followed by Memphis, Cincinnati then Atlanta who was the base power ranking #1.

The big story is undefeated Dakota falling from #5 down to #20 in the adjusted power rankings due to the easiest schedule in the history of the XFL through 5 games. Even Buffalo who is undefeated fell from #3 to #10 bases on their 31st ranked schedule.

Philadelphia moved up the most (+7) based on their toughest schedule followed by Cincinnati (+6) who have the 8th toughest schedule.
