My formula explanation
Composite scores (ex. .9950) is based on 247 sports composite recruiting rankings.
(6 points) for player rated .9950-.1000
(5.5 points) for player rated .9850-.9949
(4.5 points) for player rated .9750-.9849
(3.5 points) for player rated .9550-.9749
(2.5 points) for player rated .9350-.9549
(1.5 points) for player rated .9150-.9349
(1.0 points) for player rated. .8950-.9149
(.75 points) for player rated .8750-.8949
(.50 points) for player rated .8550-.8749
(.25 points) for player rated .8350-.8599
(.10 points) for player rated .8150-.8349
(.05 points) for player rated .7950-.8149
-Each players score is added together (ex. 6+5.5+3.5) in order to come up with each teams score.
