Sagarin Ratings

[Coach Sal]

USA Today’s Jeff Sagarin has an interesting ratings system he uses for the NFL and every other pro and college sport.

If you’re into this kind of stuff, it’s good data to look at.

Here is the condensed version for the Bills:

14^th in overall rating in the NFL
3^rd rated in the AFC East
The AFC East is the 2^nd rated division
Bills have played the 3^rd hardest schedule so far in the NFL
Bills are 1-4 vs. top-10 rated teams
Bills are 1-5 vs. top-16 rated teams

Here’s the entire ratings chart and data:

I bet higher than the Bills.

But we will work on changing that up a little this week!

Re: Sagarin Ratings

San Diego is 18th on the list. What's ironic is 1-11 for difficulty of schedule is in the AFC, Washington starts with #12 for the NFC. They have a 4-7 record.

Re: Sagarin Ratings

Taking it even a step further, the 3 easiest schedules in the AFC belong to:

21. Baltimore, 9-2 record
19. Kansas city, 7-4 record
18. San Diego, 9-2 record

It's mildly ironic that I brought up this argument about ease of schedule and record and got clocked by everybody. I guess it shows up in the standing though. 25 wins and 8 losses, wow.
