*The Return of Watchability Rankings - Week 9 - Modern_Duke - 10-27-2019 I wanted to give the scale of this index some context, so I figured I would try an quick experiment to see what the most and least watchable game could really be. Fake Least Watchable Game Team Factor: We'll take the two lowest winning percentages in the league (Philadelphia 0.25 and San Jose 0.125) to get to a measly 0.0313 Offensive Factor: Two lowest scoring teams are San Jose (11.6 points per game) and my beloved Yeti (20.2). Comes to 0.1594 Defensive Factor: Butchers, wyd? How do you only have 2 interceptions on the season? Chicago and San Jose factors average 0.0688 This Frankenstein of unwatchability would get an Index score of 0.2595 Fake Most Watchable Game Team Factor: Yellowknife (.875) and any of the 5-3 teams (.625): 0.5469 Offensive Factor: Austin (29.8) and Baltimore or Yellowknife (29.1): 0.295 Defensive: Yellowknife () and my beloved Yeti (): 0.1494 This perfect amalgalmation of watcahability would get an Index score of .9913 Frankly I think it's kind of neat that I accidentally made a scale with basically a clean high end of 1.000 On to the games: 5. Orange County Otters at San Jose SaberCats Team Factor: 0.0781 Offensive Factor: .1856 Defensive Factor: .1138 X Factor: None Watchability Index: 0.3775 Notes: Orange County is actually one of the more watchable teams, but at this point San Jose will drag down the watchability of any opponent. 4. Phildelphia Liberty at Baltimore Hawks Team Factor: 0.1250 Offensive Factor: .2575 Defensive Factor: .1238 X Factor: None Watchability Index: 0.5063 Notes: Baltimore's an odd team. They would rival Yellowknife in terms of watchability, except they're only a .500 team somehow. Philly actually isn't out of playoff contention after beating Colorado in Week 8. 3. Austin Copperheads at Chicago Butchers Team Factor: 0.1875 Offensive Factor: .2619 Defensive Factor: .0700 X Factor: None Watchability Index: 0.5194 Notes: I said it above, but seriously Chicago, how you manage to only have 2 interceptions thru 8 games? 2. Colorado Yeti at Yellowknife Wraiths Team Factor: 0.4375 Offensive Factor: .2469 Defensive Factor: .1494 X Factor: None Watchability Index: 0.8338 Notes: This is the perfect defensive matchup from the example above. Yeti are tops in INT and PDs (not to mention rushing yards allowed), and Yellowknife are #1 in points allowed (not a factor here, but still.) 1. New Orleans Second Line at Arizona Outlaws Team Factor: 0.3906 Offensive Factor: .2538 Defensive Factor: .1194 X Factor: Potentially for Sole 1st Place in ASFC +0.10 Watchability Index: 0.8638 Notes: I would have gone even higher on the X Factor if Orange County were not also tied for 1st. New Orleans took the first matchup at home, now Arizona looks for revenge. *The Return of Watchability Rankings - Week 9 - 124715 - 10-28-2019 This is a really cool and interesting article! Nice job!
