----------------------------------------


These are based on the Massey ratings - the same ones used in the college football polls. Each matchup is based on the following criteria:


Schedule: The difficulty of each team's schedule is measured in the Sched column. Factors include the quality of each opponent, the opponent's Massey Rating and an adjustment for homefield advantage. Note that schedule strength only represents games played to date. Until a team plays its first game, it will not have a schedule strength rating.


Offense: A team's Offense power rating essentially measures the ability to score points. This does not distinguish how points are scored, so good defensive play that leads to scoring will be reflected in the Offense rating. In general, the offensive rating can be interpreted as the number of points a team would be expected to score against an average defense.


Defense: A team's Defense power rating reflects the ability to prevent its opponent from scoring. An average defense will be rated at zero. Positive or negative defensive ratings would respectively lower or raise the opponent's expected score accordingly.
It should be emphasized that the Offense/Defense breakdown is simply a post-processing step, and as such has no bearing on the overall rating. A consequence of this is that the Offense/Defense ratings may not always match actual production numbers. A team that routinely wins close games may have somewhat inflated Offense/Defense ratings to reflect the fact that they are likely to play well when they have to.


Power: In contrast to overall rating, Power is a better measure of potential based on schedule, offense and defense, and is less concerned with wins and losses.


These do not reflect the opinions of 9NEWS or any of its staff. Rather, they are the result of the mathematical formula used to calculate the projections.


ED. NOTES: THIS IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY! ALSO, PREDICTIONS AND CALCULATIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR 8-MAN AND 6-MAN FOOTBALL TEAMS.
