I'm using the Colley Matrix iteration process (https://www.colleyrankings.com/method.html)
To summarize, you take the win percentage of every team and correct it against the win percentage of their opponents. Then you have a new win percentage. And I repeat that process until the correction factor is below .001. Essentially this is what I would expect the win percentages to be if the teams played an average team every game.
Perhaps my biggest pet peeve on this sub is when people call a statistic "useless" because it doesn't return the ranking they want. For one, most single statistics aren't intended to rank overall goodness, though they may include relevant information. For two, you might be wrong.
