    New NFL ranking system via Troy Aikman? Are you kidding me?

    What is the NFL world coming to? Troy Aikman, yes you heard me right, has come up with a new complex rating system for the NFL teams. Yes, I just used Troy Aikman and complex in the same sentence. Now he wants the NFL to adopt this ranking sysytem?

    This is even funnier, look at his top 3 defensive rankings after week 7:

    1, 1, Redskins, 86.77
    2, 24, Cardinals, 86.62
    3, 2, Broncos, 86.17

      I am sure that Aikman did not come up with that formula. It might've been his idea, but you know some math nerd/football fan probably came up with it for him. Aikman probably bought the rights to the formula and attached his name to it.

          Well, I'm disappointed that the formula is "way too complicated" for any of us to see . . . I think Jeff 1220 is probably right about Aikman buying it.

          Formulas (like QB rating) are a little silly. The exact weight attached to any statistic is, in the end, arbitrary at best, biased at worst.

          Regardless of the exact formula, I do like the idea. Yardage allowed is by no means an accurate measure of the worth of a defense or offense.
