Mtl still has its hold on 1st but BC has passed Wpg for second!

Edm has taken Ham's spot in the basement

What does that spreadsheet mean? You've got all these numbers, and nothing that says what the numbers are.

3

Sorry I explained it a few times and figured it was no longer necessary

There are 25 defensive categories. Mtl is in first in 16 of them and 2nd in 4 of them and so on.

I award 8 points for each 1st place 7 for each second down to 1 for each 8th place finish The ranking is then based on the total points

4

Any chance you could put like a heading on each column??

5

There are 25 categories, Billy, and the columns are simply representative of how many categories they placed in positions 1 through 8.....they're already labelled, really, with the first row marked as 1 through 8.

6

the second section is the points for each place finish
Mtl had 16 first place finishes at 8 points each for 128 points
4 second place finishes at 7 points each for 28 points

then 3rd place and 4th and so on

7

ooohh. I understand. I bet you had a fun time explaining that to KK

8

didn't even try!

9

Why Billy.....I don't even know what you could possibly be talking about.....

10

Its not hard to understand the spreadsheet. I understood it and didnt even have to ask, lol. Ro does a good job putting this together, he deserves credit for a great job, its more understandable than the CFL stats on this site.

Hey ro,

The stats page you are referring to is out of date. The up to date stats can be viewed here (updated Sunday Aug. 13):

http://www.cfl.ca/stats_pdf/2006/reg.pdf

As well, how do you account for ties in the stat standings? In many cases teams are tied...

14

mmmm
Where did you get that link?

I used the one under.....the game/stats?

Ill recalculate

15

It's located on the stats page, at the top, on the left hand side: 'Full League Stats (Printer Friendly)'... I suspect they update the whole file first, then the segments later.

16

Here are the proper standings

The first 4 stayed the same but the last 4 changed

17

I think that while Hamilton has given up a few too many points, it can hardly be blamed on the D. Look at the pitiful offense we have to work with.

18

Looks like you can win some categories by just having a D
that gives up big plays.

19

or having an offense that coughs the ball up giving the opposing
offense a short field.

I'll look at the rest of the categories tomorrow but not really impressed with the little i saw so far.

Still interesting though, so thanks ro

The best defence of all would have a hard time winning a game in which the offence produces only 2 points or no point at all…
