Methodology
Different eras, one honest record book
Raw points remain useful context, but league scoring rules changed. Cross season rankings therefore use the Almanac's scoring z scores and era adjusted points per game. All time head to head records remain unpublished until the complete weekly matchup archive is recovered.
