I was just curious how the Power Rankings are calculated? what does the game look at in teams when finally deciding who goes where?

Thanks

The power rankings have never made any logical sense.

I wouldn't waste time trying to figure them out.

The algorithm finds a 'score' for each team, and goes through all the games in the season (0.4.1 includes the previous season, dropping 2 games each week, until it gets to week 8). It uses an Excel-solver-like algorithm to solve this score so that the sum of the error is as low as possible.

The algorithm comes from this book: http://amzn.to/1QNLgQh
