Explaining The Numbers
The Projected Stats for each team are made by taking the play counts from 2012, adjusting the outlook for 2013 and then applying the distribution of those plays to 2013 personnel. The Power Ratings are a loose mix of percentile calculations and academic grading (A to F, 100 to 60 scale).
