Overall Rationale: Performance is compared to opponent's opponents' performance, with adjustments for quality wins/losses. Tried this week to explain more of the calcs behind the ratings. Note that this is not a ranking of who is the best right now; it's a ranking of whose resume over the season is strongest.
