*A Closer Look at the Definitive NSFL Team Rankings - Modern_Duke - 06-15-2020
Just how definitive are the Definitive NSFL Team Rankings, recently posted by @SchwarzNarr?
Well there's an easy way to find out. Let's see how they stack up against teams' all time performance:

Not bad. Rsquared basically calculates variance. To put it stimply, the closer the number is to one, the closer the relationship between the two data sets.
How about if we don't focus on the actual win %, just rank the win % among teams

Hey there might be something to this.
Now what if we take out that one pesky outlier at the bottom there?

We are through the looking glass here people.
..Actually based on what we know about the sim to date, would anyone be surprised if letters in a team's name really did play a factor?

my theory is that the sim actually uses the ascii values of the characters in team names as the seed for the RNG.
BUT!
the RNG was coded badly (because lol wolverine studios lol) and now, those ascii values affect the sim engine disproportionately
i will be taking no further questions at this time

this explains why OCO is so fucking good and why COL sux

Thank you for proving me right. Mostly.
