In light of all the negative crap this week, hopefully here are some positive nuggets going into week 3.

 

According to fivethirtyeight.com, an ESPN affiliate, Carolina has the 5th best ranking for all teams through week 3.

Carolina is simulated to win 10.7 games (3rd best)

67% Chance to win the Division (Best in NFL)

77% to make the playoffs (2nd Best)

9% change to win the Super Bowl (3rd Best)

I hope that this trend continues through the course of the year then we will be in good shape. #KEEPPOUNDING

ELO is a really comprehensive guide for rankings. It's similar to the system that's used in competitive chess, and it's what all of the major competitive video games use to calculate ladder rankings. 

 

It measure strength of opponent by using things like, winning against a higher ranked opponent gives you more points, losing against a lower ranking team gives you negative points, for example. It's really hard to use on a team-based game, though, because the system really is (usually) to determine individual rankings.

Thanks Ruff. It was late and I couldn't find how to explain it

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
