Graphs for the 2011-2012 Season
Includes Week #17 Games
- 1/2/2012
**The Graphs will not be updated throughout
the Playoffs
The numbers on the vertical axis are the Power Ratings.
A moving average analysis is used to create graphs which have smoother
curves and which more accurately depicts the actual power rating than any
single point could.
Each number on the horizontal axis represents a
new update point. Updates will occur every Tuesday, after the previous
weeks schedule of games has been completed. In this period, most teams
will have played one game. These numbers don't exactly correspond
to the number of games played for each team because in most instances, because
of the BYE schedule that the NFL uses. This inconsistency is another
reason why the moving average analysis works best for these graphs.
Larger adjustments in the ratings are made at the
beginning of the season. Expect the ratings to fluctuate quite a bit in the
first few weeks. By the 4th or 5th week, most teams will have found
their level and the variations will be smaller, though there will still be
small up and down variations about their established average. Perhaps
the best value to reflect a teams power rating would be the average between
the most recent high and low points on the graphs for each team.
The trend of the team line, down or up, may be a good predictor
of what the team will do in future weeks.
