2006 Week 3 Power Rankings

Here are the power rankings for Week 3. The rankings were 8-6 last week. For the season, we’re 28-18, or tied for 8th in King Kaufman’s Panel Of Experts. We’ll stick with the combined ‘05-’06 power rankings for at least another week, since they outperformed the ‘06-only rankings last week. For [...]

NFL 2006 Week 1

Behold the genius of Beatpaths’ Week 1!

2006 Beatpaths Strategy

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions from the previous entry. I’m also relieved that people are still reading since I put the site on hiatus in the off-season. The system is still applicable to the other sports, but I still have some work to do to make it more automated, and right [...]
