Ranking system I found interesting

Found this over at Gang Green Nation, and while the sample size is small, it looked very interesting to me.  Is anyone familiar with either Michael Salfino or his system?  What do you think about this, other than the obvious comments on where it ranks Denver = )


Star-divide

Our friend Michael Salfino has offered us an exclusive this week to a power ranking system he put together. I'll allow him to explain how the system works and then post his rankings.


Here are final 2009 Week 4 NFL Key Stat Power Rankings of all 32 teams in the team stats that most correlated to winning and losing since I started tracking them in 2002. These stats are net red-zone possessions (trips for minus trips allowed), net yards per play, net interception rate and net third-down percentage. The numbers in each column reflect where each team ranks in each category. The overall stat power ranking ranking is the rankings added, with the lowest number being the best. The objective is to assess how strong each team is relative to its opponent, division, conference and the league in general. Warning: past performance does not necessarily determine future results.

As good as any ranking out there I guess

The problem of looking to the past to predict the future is daunting – fun to think about, but I gave up gambling a long time ago (except for beer) and that is all these attempts to rank teams are good for – just like the injury reports
