2011 TABRankings — Week 16
If there’s a playoff theme this year, it very well may involve the 9-7 teams that make it into the second season. While the 7-8 Eagles, 7-8 Seahawks and 6-9 Panthers surge into the upper half of the rankings, it could be as much as three 9-7 teams that can make the playoffs and finish lowers than the three losing teams.
These results are quite shocking outside the top nine teams.
The TABRankings 3.0 formula:
(W-L Pct)+(Away Pct/2)+(Division Pct/2)+(Pythagorean Pct/2)+(Time Ahead Avg x 2)+(Third Down Differential x 2)+(TO Margin x 3)-(Fumbles Kept Diff)+(DVOA Rating x 2)
