How these numbers are made
- The record counts finished games from our results table for the current season.
- The rating is the same one behind our
power rankings: average winning
margin, adjusted for how strong each opponent was, with big blowouts capped so one
flogging cannot own a rating. Zero is an average side. A club needs three finished
games before it gets a rank.
- The next-game score is our model's projection, published before the game.
Every past projection stays on the record at
predicted scores.
