Abstract. The search engine Google uses the PageRanks of webpages to determine the order in which they are displayed as the result of a web search. In this work we expand Google’s idea of webpage ranking to ranking National Football League teams. We think of the teams as webpages and use the statistics of a football season to create the connections (links) between the teams. The objective is to be able to rank NFL teams by their relative strengths.
