League Power Rankings?

[goheels]

I'm the commish of a 12-team HTH league and need some advice on a league power ranking. Any suggestions on how to calculate such a ranking (wins, pts scored, etc.)? We only have one conference w/ all 12 teams. Thanks!

Sportsline.com does it by adding up the following numbers:

1. Your record, with 12 (for your league at least) being the best record and 1 being the worst.

2. Your points total for the season, again with the most getting 12 and the least getting 1.

3. Your record breakdown. This one is a little tricky. It's what your team's record would have been had you played every team each week. So after week 1 you'll have a record that adds up to 11 (since you can't play your own team) like 6-5 or 9-2 or 0-11.

ties are the average of the spots not taken and averaged out. #3 would kind of be a pain in the ass but otherwise it's an interesting system.

Hmm, I like this...

Are there any other factors somebody would find interesting to include in "power rankings"?

For example, I would like to see average margin of victory play a role.

We have a "coaches poll" each week in ours. Every team ranks the entire league 1-12 and the commish compiles the results. I look forward to it every week.

a coaches' poll is nice (we have a preseason coaches' poll), but it's tough getting everyone to respond in time each week. plus in our league w/ only one conference, everyone would just go by wins/losses.
