The Team of the Decade
-
Now that the Super Bowl is concluded I can do an update on which team is leading in the "Team of the Decade" race. If you have read these before, recall that my system award points to each team on a 10-6-3-1 basis for each season. ( I do this for each of the NFL/MLB/NBA)
The winner of the Championship garners 10 points. The loser gets 6 points. The losers of the "Semifinal" games or series each get 3 points, and any team that makes a playoff appearance gets 1 point.
Here are the standings for the NFL after the 2014 season. I note the points each team has gotten in a season, then compile the total for the decade beginning in 2010:
New England Patriots 1, 6, 3, 3, 10 Total 23 points
Seattle Seahawks 1, 1, 10, 6 Total 18 points
Green Bay Packers 10, 1, 1, 1, 3 Total 16 points
Baltimore Ravens 1, 3, 10, 1 Total 15 points
San Francisco 49ers 3, 6, 3, Total 12 points
New York Giants 10 Total 10 points
Denver Broncos 1, 1, 6, 1 Total 9 points
Pittsburgh Steelers 6, 1, 1 Total 8 points
Indianapolis Colts 1, 1, 1, 3 Total 6 points
Atlanta Falcons 1, 1, 3 Total 5 points
Cincinnati Bengals 1, 1, 1, 1 Total 4 points
