Week 5 Top 25: Dragons Soar To #1

associatedfantasy , , ,

TOP 25 – The numbers are in for Week 5 in the Association and the Stats Department has just released the latest Top 25 as well as the rankings of all 106 Association teams and after two weeks at AF#1, the Legion of Defense’s Suspension Freaks have been overtaken by the Los Angeles Dragons of the IFFL.  After a monster win against their biggest rival, SF’s BowMen of the Super 16 has moved up 3 spots to claim AF#3 to round out the top 3 spots on this weeks list.

Each week, our Stats Department pours through the data from the past weekend’s games to compile a ranking for all of the teams playing in Association Leagues based on 5 distinct categories (Record, Overall Wins, Consistency, Point Percentage, Coaching Efficiency).  Each category is the weighted and combined to give an overall Power Rank (PR) score.  Teams’ PR scores have an inverse value, meaning the lower the score, the higher the team ranks – The PR scores can range from 15 (a perfect score) to 1590 (last in every category)(For a full description of each category and how it is weighted, please visit the new Stats FAQ page, found either at that link or as a sub-tab under the new AF Stats menu tab.)  The rankings are cumulative through to Week 17 measuring teams’ performances through the entire season.

A new list is published each week under the all-new AF Stats menu tab and you can view the full rankings of all 106 teams playing in Association Leagues under the AF Rankings sub-tab, complete with their stats in all ranking categories.  For a quick look, the Top 25 gets its own sub-tab there, as well as being highlighted here each week.
