This week I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the combined record of each team's opponents (Opponents' Combined Record= OCR), as a different way of comparing the teams... it's basically the same as Strength of Schedule (SOS), which the NCAA Comittee uses to determine the field of 65 for March Madness. How about a little controversy to start it off with a tie at the top of the Power Rankings after Week 3!
T1.) Calderan (3-0) OCR: 3-6 [--]
T1.) Debreceni (3-0) OCR: 5-4 [+1]
3.) Burke (2-1) OCR: 5-4 [+1]
4.) Jarboe (2-1) OCR: 4-5 [-1]
5.) Bailey (1-2) OCR: 6-3 [+3]
6.) Hegeman (2-1) OCR: 5-4 [+4]
7.) Smith (2-1) OCR: 4-5 [-2]
8.) MacLeod (2-1) OCR: 3-6 [+5]
9.) Fotino (1-2) OCR: 5-4 [-3]
10.) Stevens (1-2) OCR: 4-5 [-3]
11.) Lavallee (1-2) OCR: 5-4 [--]
12.) Wright (0-3) OCR: 7-2 [-3]
13.) Dawson (1-2) OCR: 5-4 [+1]
14.) Dion (0-3) OCR: 3-6 [-1]
From looking at the combined record of each teams opponents' up to this point, we see that Team Wright has had the most difficult schedule (their opponents are a combined 7-2), while Team Calderan, Team MacLeod, and Team Dion have had the easiest (opponents are 3-6). I will have game picks up by tomorrow night, so check back soon!

go back to the old power rankings where u give a description there much better
yah pj if u could do u mind putting the old power rankings on. i know it takes longer but there helpful and i like your insight on what your thinking.
this method does not work on a closed system and especially with so few games. Your own losses contribute to your strength of schedule. For example: If Bailey was 2-1 their OCR would be 5-4 just like Hegeman. But because they lost, they have a stronger OCR and a higher ranking - Makes no sense - Bad Method
lavallee has played SO WELL the past two games. they need to be moved up. the fact that they came so close to beating bailey is a credit to them.
I heard that was without Beal and G Lavallee. Bailey would have lost if they were there.
Lavalle was not close,they lost by 14.bailey would hav won no matter what
the OCR had very little to nothing to do with the rankings. i made the rankings before and then put the OCR there afterwards so dont think i based the rankings on that because i didnt. sorry to confuse.
are you saying that a team without their second and third best players (and very good defensively) doesn't matter. Its all about match ups and george could slow down bailey and beal could slow down wilkinson. Who marked them last week?
