Computing the Road Warrior Rankings
The Road Warrior Rankings ignore home games, neutral-field games, losses, and games against below average teams - those with a negative VSI.
To calculate a team’s Road Warrior Ranking simply sum up the VSI’s of above average teams defeated on the road (including home field advantage adjustments).
