What team faces the easiest schedule in 2024?
Will your team be able to make a play-off push or go even further? Of course, the schedule takes huge parts in that progress. The Strength of Schedule is a measure used to evaluate the difficulty of a team's season games. It is calculated by examining the winning percentages of a team's opponents over the season, thus providing insight into how challenging a team's path to victory might be compared to others.
To calculate the Strength of Schedule, we take the following steps: For each game on a team's schedule, identify the winning percentage of the opposing team in the previous season.Add together the winning percentages of all a team's opponents throughout the season.Divide the total aggregated winning percentages by the number of games played. This average represents the Strength of Schedule. A higher average suggests a more difficult schedule, as it means a team will face opponents with a higher win rate, indicating stronger competition.
The Strength of Schedule is a crucial metric for understanding the context of a team's performance over the season. It highlights the competitiveness of their journey. This measure helps in appreciating the achievements of teams who navigate a tougher slate of games and offers a nuanced perspective on the league standings.
