Weighted Margin of Victory/Loss Ranking (WMoV): Most people think a ranking focused on margin of victory is a bad idea, but that's simply because no one has found a way to make sure strong teams don't get rewarded for running up the score on weaker teams . . . until now.
The solution? The Margin of Victory/Loss value is computed on a game by game basis and each game's value is further adjusted by the strength of the opponent (based on their W/L% and their opponent's strength of schedules). Each game's score is then added together and divided by games played. This formula ensures each game is counted the same and lessens the effect of blowouts of weaker opponents. Personally, I think Margin of Victory speaks volumes about how good a team really is because a good team should soundly and consistently beat the teams they are supposed to beat. My formula exposes which teams inconsistently get a high margin of victory.
