Ok, so I was a math major in college, and I actually put a lot of stock in the Sagarin ranks. Not to get into the weeds, but it takes into acount the connection the every game has to every other game. Also, if you look at his rankings they pass the eye test in a lot of ways (falcons and colts worse then their records indicate). I thought it was interesting where he had the panthers http://usatoday30.us...garin/nfl12.htm

[Peppers90 NC]

by his accordance, we have had the 2nd toughest schedule in the league thus far. I wouldn't argue.

[joemac]

According to that weve had the hardest schedule so far...its about to get a lot easier.

[twylyght]

with the three teams above us in these rankings that remain on the schedule, we play at home. if we somehow manage to beat denver and tampa the next two weeks, we could see a HUGE shift in momentum for this season

Good stuff OP....

Now lets fire the idiot Ron Rivera, gut the coaching staff and let Golden Boy lead us to the promised land...

I just took the GRE last week, and the math section may as well have been Mayan hieroglyphs. With that in mind, looking at that chart makes me say, "Ouch!"

...someone with an affinity for numbers & stats will have to break that down for me.

I like how the worst NFC division is better than the best AFC division.

Actually, nevermind, I don't like that at all. Why can't we be in the AFC West?!

[jake14wl]

Meaningless stat. The only one that matters is 2-6.
