Weighted Drive Performance Poll (WDPP): This ranking focuses on how many points you score per drive and how many points you allow your opponents to score per drive and weighs it against your Strength of Schedule (SOS). Drives are determined by focusing on the stats associated with the endings of drives (i.e. turnovers, TDs, punts, 4th down fails/stops and FG attmepts). Unlike the weighted performance power ranking, this poll will not factor in W/L%. The poll applies the Pythagorean formula to a team’s "points for" per drive (PF/D) and "points against" per drive (PA/D).  The formula PF/D^2.37 / (PF/D^2.37 + PA/D^2.37) is used to determine your Drive Performance score. The result is then averaged with your game-by-game SOS score (this makes sure your ranking is not inflated from beating up on weaker teams) to get the final drive performance score. The way this works is your SOS is compared to a .500 SOS to determine your SOS weight % (e.g. if you have an SOS of .600, your weight % would be 110%, thus slightly increasing your Drive Performance score).

 

PF/D and PA/D are determined as follows:

• PF/D: Offensive drive efficiency is calculated by dividing the team's total "points for" by the total number of giveaways, TDs, punts, 4th down fails and FG attempts.
• PA/D: Defensive drive efficiency is calculated by dividing the team's total "points against" by the total number of takeaways, opponent's TDs scored, opponent's punts, opponent's 4th down fails, and opponent's FG attempts.
