FS365 has combined the Simple Rating System that is produced weekly by Pro Football Reference with our Simple Efficiency Analysis. Our goal is to connect the Simple Rating System (SRS) and Simple Efficiency Analysis (SEA) to evaluate total team strength better while also comparing these ratings to what the Vegas Oddsmakers are predicting. The SRS analysis provides a baseline ranking for each team allowing us to compare and contrast all teams against popular analysis such as the College Football Playoff Poll, AP Poll, or for NFL teams; we can compare to differentiating power ranking analysis provided by the mainstream pundits.
Key:
SRS: Simple Rating System; a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/ below average, where zero is average.
OSRS: The offensive component of the Simple Rating System (SRS), a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.
DSRS: The defensive component of the Simple Rating System (SRS), a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.
SOS: The strength of Schedule; a rating of strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average. Non-major opponents are included as a single team in the ratings.
*Please note that the SRS system is meant to be used for entertainment purposes only and is just one data point out of many that can provide insights into potential outcomes. Football Scout 365 does not guarantee any result based on our analysis. Remember, there is a human element involved, and we do not recommend using this tool for gambling purposes.
