NFL power rankings
Every team rated by who they beat and by how much. A rating of +5 means the team has
played about five points better than an average opponent; 0 is dead-average.
Strength of schedule is built in — beating good teams counts for more.

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 — fully reproducible from public scores, no human votes.
