Other Observations:

  • Most teams maintained consistent performance across the last 7 and 14 games, which makes sense given that only one week of games has been played.
  • The Strength of Schedule (SOS %) provides insight into how challenging a team's opponents were. A higher percentage indicates a more challenging schedule.
  • Power Rating (P R) is a good metric to gauge a team's performance against its challenges. A higher P R indicates a better overall performance.

In conclusion, while some teams have started the season on a high note, others have had a challenging start. It's essential to note that it's just the beginning, and the dynamics can change as the season progresses.
