Below are listed the YAM2 rankings as of last weekend. The
YAM2 is an intuitively based simple formula which seeks to measure
accomplishment over the course of the season. It will not identify the
teams which are currently hot, but views the season as a whole.
YAM2 = (Win%) x (Strength of Sched.)
Strength of schedule is quantified the same way as in RPI: namely
2 parts Opp% added to 1 part Opp-Opp%. In this implementation the strength
of schedule is normalized to the value of the stongest schedule (Minnesota
this week). Also, as in the RPI, the head to head games are subtracted
from the records before calculating the averages in order to prevent
"inverse" effects on the ranking metric.
YAM2 will not raise a ranking if a team goes to Maine and loses two
games. It also gives equal weight to win% and strength of schedule.
