"Radical" Russ's Super Bowl Rankings

     My Super Bowl Rankings formula solves what I consider to be an inherant flaw in traditional Super Bowl standings.  To me, I always thought it was ridiculous that a team like the New York Jets, with a 1-0 Super Bowl Record, ends up ranked above the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a 4-1 Super Bowl Record.  Certainly a team that has 4 SB wins should be considered better than a team with 1 SB win!  Also, I found it unfair that a team like the Buffalo Bills, at 0-4, should be ranked below the Philadelphia Eagles, at 0-1.  Certainly a team that has made it to four Super Bowls should be better than a team that only made it to one!
     My formula is simple:  For every Super Bowl win, a team gets three points.  For every Super Bowl loss, a team gets one point.  For example, the Jets would get three points, but the Bills would get four.  To break ties, I use the Super Bowl Points For and Points Against.  I take the greatest Super Bowl Point Differential (the 49'ers, at +99) and the least Differential (the Broncos, at -81), and take the difference between the two (180) plus one (181), and that gives me the Differential Factor.  I then divide the absolute value of the team's Point Differential over Least Differential, and divide that by the Differential Factor, and that gives me a decimal number between 0 and 1 (that's why I had to add 1 to the Differential Factor, so the best team's decimal number wouldn't be 1.000).  For those of you into the math of it, the equation looks like this:

( SBWins * 3 ) + SBLosses + { [ PtDiff + ABS( MinPtDiff ) ] / [ MaxPtDiff + ABS( MinPtDiff ) +1 ] }
