What is PageStat? Basically, it's a computerized system designed to rank sports teams in a given sport. The makings of PageStat go back to the 1970's when I tried developing a system which would rank NFL teams from best to worst.
A number of overhauls and minor tweaks have been added to it since then; the current system isn't at all like the original system as it was designed.
Does PageStat serve a purpose? Not really, unless you are into lists or polls or have some internal malfunction (as I have LOL) that sees this as a fun project. It's designed to answer once simple question--can a system be developed which will predict playoff winners? Can't say that I always agree with the answers PageStat comes up with, but I also understand that my own perceptions of what the best teams are in a given sport is based on bias as much as anything objective.
