Directed Games Graph Metrics
The below are not "ratings" per se, but count and make visible all of the shortest "A beat B beat C beat ..." (A⇒) chains in the current games graph.
Second Order Winning Percentage
% of teams that the given team has a shorter or stronger A⇒... chain to other teams than the other way around. (D1A Only D1AA Only D2 D3 NAIA)
Weighted
by the length and strength of the A⇒ paths to other teams. (D1A Only D1AA Only D2 D3 NAIA)
Often people who are not familiar with the nature and limitations of statistical methods tend to expect too much of the rating system. Ratings provide merely a comparison of performances, no more and no less. The measurement of the performance of an individual is always made relative to the performance of his competitors and both the performance of the player and of his opponents are subject to much the same random fluctuations. The measurement of the rating of an individual might well be compared with the measurement of the position of a cork bobbing up and down on the surface of agitated water with a yard stick tied to a rope and which is swaying in the wind.
