Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 5703302, member: 6798"] Overall I think at least ignoring margin, injuries, and the time in the season that the game happens are good things about the current system. Those metrics do not necessarily reveal more about a team either IMO, and coming up with a system that fairly factors in those aspects is more difficult than it may seem. Home vs. road should be considered on some level, but factoring in margin can lead to things like teams adding scrubs they can blow out to their schedules or pouring on goals in garbage time like we see in basketball, and injuries/early season vs late season games are factors that every team has to deal with on some level. There is no perfect system, but the current one is not as broken as some alternatives would be IMO. RPI looks more absurd this time of year since there are so many games left to play, but by years end it does a decent job. [/QUOTE]
