		Each of a team's opponents is assigned a value based on their expected margin of victory (or defeat) against a mythical average team. A team's rating for a game is determined by how much they exceed or fall short of this expected margin of victory (EMV) and the quality of the opponent. Therefore exceeding the EMV by a small amount against a very strong team will likely yeild a higher rating than exceeding the EMV by a large margin against a weak one. All games are weighted equally. More recent games are NOT weighted more heavily.
