Our rating's best guess against an average team, not a promise. It changes every week.
How it works: we take every completed game, cap blowout margins so one
rout can't own a rating, and solve for the set of ratings where each team's number equals
its average margin plus the average rating of the teams it faced. That is the classic
Simple Rating System. Anyone can check it from public scores, and no one votes.
Ratings recompute daily as results land.
