Quality Win-Loss Matrix

The Quality Win-Loss Matrix ranks teams solely on three factors: (1) Who did you play? (2) Where did you play them? and (3) Did you win or lose?

Year: 2009 | 2008 |

Week: Pre-season | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 |

Computing the Quality Win-Loss Matrix

The Quality Win-Loss Matrix assigns win points and loss points to every game of the season based on the strength of the opponent’s VSI and where the game was played.

Defeat a team with a VSI of 8 and receive ~8 win points. Defeat a team with a VSI of 21 and receive ~21 win points.

If you defeat a below average team, one with a negative VSI, you do not receive any win points - after all what have you really accomplished by beating a below average team?

Loss points are calculated in reverse. The lower the VSI of your opponent, the higher the loss points a team accumulates so teams are penalized more for losing to bad teams.

Win points and loss points are combined to create a single ranking for apples-to-apples comparisons across teams playing widely different strengths of schedule.
