Overall Rationale: Caffeine Fowl's own BallMetrics formula primarily factors in a team's defensive efficiency, offensive production (yards/points), and effectiveness of the passing game, on top of typical metrics such as strength of record. It also automatically adjusts the ranks after scores have been calculated to respect head-to-head victories between teams within a certain score/record threshold of one another.
