FLAG FOOTBALL: Week 8 Game Forecast from The Florida Power Rankings Index

Welcome to the second girls’ flag football forecast from the all-new Florida Power Rankings Index.

The Florida Power Rankings Index ranking is calculated using a formula that incorporates winning percentage, strength of schedule, and game results, with more recent games weighing heavier. The forecasted margin of victory for each game is determined by subtracting the power ranking of the lower-rated team from the power ranking of its higher-rated opponent in most cases with elevators in place for meaningful predictions and not overly wild blowouts that are unrealistic in sports. For Flag Football, rankings update only once weekly, not each day there are games.

First let’s take a look at how things went last week:

WEEK 7 RECORD: 273-73

PERCENTAGE CORRECT: 78.9%

HOW CLOSE WERE WE?
8 — Exactly on the Forecast
14 — Within 1-point
86 — Within 7-points or less

Game forecasts are sorted by classification of favorite and listed alphabetically. The underdog’s classification is noted for inter-classification games.
