dfannyc Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I found this thead and though it insteresting. (Not just because the Cowboys are first) Although I do find the logic suspect and in need of some tweaking. I just finished a project I began a few years ago. It started out with me creating a new Super Bowl standings system which awards teams 1 point for every Super Bowl appearance and 3 points for every Super Bowl win.After I completed that, I wanted to figure out a way to measure how successful each franchise was in relation to one another. The first criteria I used was the total amount of winning seasons a franchise has had. Not all winning seasons are created equal but in general, if a team has a winning season they are on the right track and their fanbase is entertained. After that I included playoff berths, division titles, #1 seeds, playoff wins, Conference titles, and Super Bowl championships. The point system is listed below. Number of winning seasons (1 point per season) Playoff Appearances (1 point per season) Division Championships (1 point per season) Top Seeds (1 point per season) Postseason Wins (1 point per postseason win) Conference Championships (1 point per Conference Championship) Super Bowl Championships (5 points per Super Bowl Championships) It should be noted that each of these points accumulate. The most points a team can earn in any one season is 13. The total number of points equal what I call "FRANCHISE POINTS". If we divide the Franchise Points by the total number of seasons each franchise has participated in since the Super Bowl Era began in 1966 we'll get their "FRANCHISE POINTS PER SEASON (FPPS) Average". This is necessary to get an accurate feel for where the expansion teams fit in. Anyhow, here are the results... (NOTE: Original post contained error. Corrections have been made) 1) Cowboys (144 Pts) - 3.60 FPPS Average 2) Steelers (131 Pts) - 3.28 FFPS 3) 49ers (125 Pts) - 3.13 4) Raiders (115 Pts) - 2.88 5) Dolphins (100 Pts) - 2.50 6) Vikings (96 Pts) - 2.40 T7) Redskins (88 Pts) - 2.20 T7)Broncos (88 Pts) - 2.20 9) Rams (86 Pts) - 2.15 T10)Patriots (79 Pts) - 1.98 T10)Packers (79 Pts) - 1.98 12) Ravens (19 Pts) - 1.90 13) Colts (66 Pts) - 1.65 14) Jaguars (18 Pts) - 1.64 T15) Giants (59 pts) - 1.48 T15) Chiefs (59 pts) - 1.48 17) Bills (58 pts) - 1.45 18) Eagles (56 pts) - 1.40 19) Panthers (15 Pts) - 1.36 20) Titans/Oilers (52 pts) - 1.30 21) Browns (47 pts) - 1.27 22) Bears (49 pts) - 1.23 23) Buccaneers (35 pts) - 1.17 24) Jets (43 pts) - 1.08 25) Seahawks (31 pts) - 1.03 26) Chargers (38 pts) - 0.95 27) Bengals (35 pts) - 0.92 28) Falcons (28 pts) - 0.70 29) Lions (25 pts) - 0.63 30) Cardinals (17 pts) - 0.43 31) Saints (15 pts) - 0.38 32) Texans (0 pts) - 0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
