Overall Rationale: This rating system aggregates multiple normalized team rating algorithms with high year-over-year predictive accuracy. The aggregate is then adjusted multiplicatively to reflect actual on-field performance. A small net win-loss factor provides minor reward or penalty based on record, while a stronger loss-based penalty—applied via a scaled or exponential function—ensures that repeated losses significantly diminish a team's rating. This balances statistical strength with actual outcomes, rewarding both performance and consistency.
