How can an 0-3 team like the Minnesota Vikings still deserve to be ranked near the top half of the NFL? Because a team’s record is an imperfect metric.
Time for a victory lap? Maybe. At the very least, it’s a useful starting point to illustrate how there are two distinct approaches to sorting NFL teams: subjective and. Understanding the distinction is crucial to grasping the nuances of evaluating teams’ talent and potential — and to not being fooled by early results.
Subjective NFL power rankings are determined by the opinions and judgments of individuals, or possibly a group of experts. These rankings are often based on personal observations, plus individual interpretations of team performance and other factors. Some even defend rankings based on a team’s intangibles , which is odd, because by definition, an intangible is impossible to qualify.
To illustrate this point, let’s look at a few subjective power rankings — we can use NFL.com, ESPN, The Score and USA Today — heading into Week 4. As you would expect, the most recent subjective rankings have the three remaining undefeated teams at or near the top, and the three winless teams at the bottom. The rest of the squads are slotted in between, mostly by record.There are some deviations, but as you can see, there is a close link between a team’s win-loss record and where it is ranked.
Objective NFL power rankings, on the other hand, are generated using statistical analysis and data-driven algorithms. These rankings rely on quantifiable metrics, and aim to provide an unbiased and standardized assessment of the 32 teams based oncriteria, providing a more consistent and transparent view of team strength.
