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.
